AND PARK DRIVE CITY MGR. jj^^N
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No. CS-256 to establish ALL-WAY STOP control at the intersection of Hillside
Drive and Park Drive.
ITEM EXPLANATION;
The subject intersection serves adjacent residential neighborhoods in the northern portion of the city
(see Exhibit 1). Currently, traffic on Hillside Drive is STOP-controlled at the subject intersection and
traffic on Park Drive is uncontrolled. A request to consider ALL-WAY STOP control was received by staff
due to concerns expressed by residents about vehicle speeds and restricted sight distance.
As part of this request, staff conducted field measurements of the existing sight distance at the subject
intersection. The posted speed limit on the south leg of Park Drive is 35 miles per hour and the minimum
stopping sight distance required for 35 miles per hour is 250 feet. Sight distance from the east leg of
Hillside Drive looking to the south was measured to be approximately 225 feet, which does not meet the
minimum stopping sight distance requirement of 250 feet. The California Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (CA MUTCD) recommends consideration of an ALL-WAY STOP at "locations where a road
user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to reasonable safety negotiate the
intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop."
Staff also investigated the collision history at the subject intersection. Collision records Indicated four
reported collisions during the period from January 1, 2010 through April 30, 2014. Although the CA
MUTCD classifies a significant collision history as five or more reported crashes within a 12-month period
that are susceptible to correction, four crashes in a three-year period is noteworthy for Carlsbad. All four
reported collisions were right angle collisions and considered susceptible to correction by the proposed
ALL-WAY STOP installation.
The Traffic Safety Commission considered this matter at its meeting of June 2, 2014. Based on the
findings by staff and public comments by residents, the Traffic Safety Commission unanimously
supported staff's recommendation to implement ALL-WAY STOP control at Hillside Drive and Park Drive
as presented.
