A. Authority
Section 21354 of the California Vehicle Code allows the local
agency to designate any intersection under its jurisdiction
a STOP intersection and direct the placement of STOP signs at
one or more entrances thereto.
B. Traffic Conflicts vs. Speed Control
It should be pointed out that the purpose of a STOP sign is
to control potential points of conflict between vehicles at
intersections by providing an indication of which vehicle has
the right -of -way. They should not be placed merely to STOP
the flow of traffic in order to reduce speed. In addition,
a STOP sign should only be placed at an intersection when the
nature and number of turning movements indicate a need for
such controls.

C. Pinedale /Timberdale and Pinedale /Clearwood
The City is in receipt of a request from the Tuscany HOA,
that consideration be given to the placement of STOP signs on
Pinedale Road at Timberdale Road and Clearwood Road at the
locations noted above. Staff recommends that this request be
approved.
D. Committee Review
This matter has been discussed over the telephone with the
members of the Streets and Transportation Committee
( Councilmember Wozniak and Councilmember Hunter). It is
their intent to discuss this item at their meeting of August
2, 1993, and, if necessary, offer any comments to the City
Council at the August 4, 1993, City Council meeting.
E. Deauville HOA
Staff also received a request from a representative of the
Deauville HOA for the placement of a STOP sign at the
intersection of Broadview Drive and Woodhill Drive (sign
facing southeast). Staff reviewed the anticipated traffic
patterns at that intersection. It was the conclusion of
staff that the majority of traffic movements at this
intersection are movements which do not create points of
conflict. Most of the traffic at this intersection will be
south -to -east left turns and west -to -north right turns. For
this reason, it is the opinion of staff that a STOP sign at
this location is not warranted.
RECOHMNDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached
Resolution directing the placement of STOP signs on Pinedale
Road at Timberdale and at Clearwood.
