TRAFFIC STODr
DATE: February 28, 1989
SUBJECT: Newhall Avenue/15th Street - Four -Way Stop
INITIATED BY: Ed Cline, Traffic Engineer
A four-way stop installation study was done at the intersection of Newhall
Avenue and 15th Street using two scenarios. First, the study was done using
existing conditions, then it was done using projected traffic volumes from a
proposed new Boy/Girls Club facility. The results are as follows:
Under the first scenario (existing conditions), the criteria for installing a
four-way stop could not be met. Traffic volumes on 15th Street are not high
enough to justify stopping traffic flow on Newhall Avenue. Also, there is no
history in the past three years of traffic accidents that can be attributed to
lack of right-of-way assignment at this intersection. Pedestrian traffic is
also too light to justify a four-way stop.
Under the second scenario, three assumptions were made regarding projected
traffic volumes. First, the ingress/egress access for the proposed Boys/Girls
Club would be changed to align opposite of 15th Street. Second, the two
existing bus driveways on Newhall Avenue would be closed with the proposed
change to school parking; and finally, school traffic would also use the same
access road an the proposed Boys/Girls Club.
The attached figure shows projected traffic volumes for the intersection using
the second scenario. Using trip generation rates for the Boys/Girls Club and
the school, the traffic volume criteria for a four-way stop installation are
met. This is due to the traffic generated from the Boys/Girls Club and the
student/staff parking facility.
The four-way stop control at Newhall Avenue and 15th Street should only be
installed if the improvements discussed above are constructed.
