MULTI -WAY STOP INSTALLATIONS - BENZ ROAD/DAN
COURT, BENZ ROAD/CANTERWOOD DRIVE, AND
CENTURION WAY/CARAWAY LANE
Transportation and Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of a multi -way stop control at the
intersections of Benz Road/Dan Court, Benz Road/Canterwood Drive, and Centurion Way/
Caraway Lane.
BACKGROUND
Benz Road/Dan Court and Benz Road/Canterwood Drive
Staff received a request from residents along Benz Road, Dan Court, and Canterwood Drive to
investigate the possibility of installing a multi -way stop at each of the following intersections:
Benz Road/Dan Court and Benz Road/Canterwood Drive. Both of these locations are
three-legged intersections with no stop signs in any direction.
Prior to the extension of Copper Hill Drive to David Way, Benz Road terminated just south of
the Copper Hill Drive alignment and carried relatively low traffic volumes. As part of the
Copper Hill Drive extension project, Benz Road was connected to Copper Hill Drive, providing
a direct connection between Bouquet Canyon Road and Copper Hill Drive. Due to this new
connection, additional motorists are now utilizing Benz Road, which has caused a significant
increase in traffic volume along Benz Road.
Staff has conducted a traffic study at the subject intersections and has concluded that the City's
residential multi -way stop warrants were satisfied; thus, staff recommends the installation of a
multi -way stop control. These multi -way stop controls would establish right-of-way
assignments, provide orderly movement of traffic, and enhance the safety of pedestrians and
motorists entering or crossing these intersections.
Centurion Way/Caraway Lane
Staff received a request from staff at Saugus High School to investigate the possibility of
installing a multi -way stop at the intersection of Centurion Way and Caraway Lane. This
location is a three-legged intersection with one stop sign on Caraway Lane.
This intersection experiences a high level of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic during the
morning peak hour due to its proximity to Saugus High School. During the peak morning arrival
time, over 100 pedestrians use the crosswalk at this intersection.
Staff has conducted a traffic study at the subject intersection and has concluded that the City's
residential multi -way stop warrants were satisfied; thus, staff recommends the installation of a
multi -way stop control. This multi -way stop control would establish right-of-way assignments,
provide orderly movement of traffic, and enhance the safety of pedestrians and motorists entering
or crossing this intersection.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The work involves the installation of nine signs amounting to approximately $1,500.00. Funds
for this work are available in the Field Services Striping and Signing Maintenance Account
No. 5214-7335.
