New Stop Signs Installed

The City has installed three stop signs along Farmington Drive. 

From the City Public Works Department:

The City utilizes the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Official (AASHTO) standards to determine whether an intersection meets a warrant for stop signs.  What AASHTO says is that unless the approaching vehicles on opposing approaches to an uncontrolled intersection can see each other for the entire recommended sight distance (115 feet for a 25 mph street) prior to the intersection then some form of stop control is needed.  These sight distance requirements are not met for the Farmington Drive intersections, which is why we are recommending the installation of stop signs.
