SAFE CONVERSIONS OF UNWARRANTED MULTI-WAY STOP SIGNS

Many logical jurisdictions in the United States have initiated steps for conversions of multi-way stops to less restrictive traffic controls such as two-way stops or, in some cases, yield controls. The local jurisdictions are, however, experiencing difficulties due to the lack of a well-tested and standardized safe conversion procedure. The need for a standardized conversion procedure is critical from the viewpoints of safety and uniformity. The suggested conversion process needs to be implemented in a step-by-step manner. Public relations campaign, information signing, installation of advance intersection warning signs, and enforcement are key elements of a successful conversion program.
