TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION
COMMISSION REPORT Of: July 7, 1986 ITEM NO. 5
LOCATION: Intersection of Snapdragon Dr. and Alyssum Rd.
INITIATED BY: Gloria R. Giorella, Mercury Property, 6920
Miramar Road, No. 106-A, San Diego, CA 92121
PROBLEM AS STATED BY REQUESTOR:
This intersection needs a stop sign on the west leg of
Alyssum Road.
DATA:
This request was considered and denied by the Traffic Safety
Commission on February 3, 1986 (see attached minutes). At
that meeting, there were no representatives from the
Management Company for the Homeowner's Association or from
the Homeowner's Association. for that reason, and the belief
that traffic conditions have changed, the Management Company
for the Homeowner's Association has requested that this issue
again be brought forward to the Commission.
A field review of the site to conduct a turning movement
count was made on June 10, 1986 (see attached sketch). The
traffic study conducted at the intersection found low
traffic volumes, low pedestrian activity and adequate
visibility in all directions. In the past two years there
has been one (1) reported traffic accident.
The purpose of a stop sign is to control the right of way
assignment at an intersection. Properly installed, they
facilitate traffic movement and promote traffic safety. At
this location, however, none of the warrants for a stop sign
are met by the existing conditions. Unwarranted stop signs
generally result in an increase in traffic accidents.

RECOMMENDATION:
ITEM NO. 5

NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION:
None required if the request is denied. An ordinance or
resolution will be required for Council action if the stop
sign is recommended.
