TITLE: ESTABLISH A STOP CONTROL ON DE+xD! W @ CADENCIA STREET AT ITS INTERSECTION WITH
ROMERIA STREET CITY ATTY.
IEPT. ENG
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No. NS-742
Romeria Street.
to require stops on Cadencia Street at its intersection with
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Cadencia Street intersects Romeria Street in a T-intersection configuration with Cadencia Street
being the stem of the intersection. This intersection is located in a residential area and both streets
provide access to La Costa Heights Elementary School.
Staff received a citizen request to evaluate the need to place a stop sign on Cadencia Street at
Romeria Street due to landscaping on the corner of the intersection. An analysis was conducted to
determine if the safe approach speed on Cadencia Street to the intersection, for sight distance
purposes, is less than 10 miles per hour. If so, there would be limited visibility to observe
approaching vehicles on Romeria Street and a stop sign could be considered. It was determined
that there is reduced visibility to observe northbound vehicles on Romeria Street when a driver on
Cadencia Street is approaching the intersection at a point 50 feet from the potential conflict point in
the intersection. With the available clear approach sight triangle distance being less than the
minimum needed for the 10 mile per hour approach speed of a vehicle on Cadencia Street, a stop
sign can be considered for installation on Cadencia Street.
The Traffic Safety Commission reviewed this matter at their meeting of January 3, 2005. By a 4-0
vote, the Commission recommended that a stop sign be installed on Cadencia Street at its
intersection with Romeria Street because of limited sight distance at the intersection approach
sight triangle.
Section 10.28.370 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code was previously established by the City Council
to require stops on Levante Street and its intersection with Romeria Street.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The installation of one stop sign, limit line, and a stop legend will cost about $500.
