NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETINGS: Wednesday May 8, 2019 7:00 p.m. (Regular) Welcome to the Apple Valley Traffic Safety Advisory Committee meeting. The Committee is a forum to hear citizen concerns regarding traffic and parking on City streets, as well as pedestrian and bicycle safety issues. The Committee also evaluates proposals for traffic control devices, signage, and striping and considers citywide traffic education and communication programs. The Committee encourages residents to bring their concerns forward and appreciates your efforts to help make our City a safer community. Specific traffic solutions may also have unintended and potentially dangerous consequences as there are often engineering and liability issues involved with traffic controls and roadway designs to consider. When evaluating resident concerns, the Committee follows a process that looks broadly at multiple possible solutions and utilizes the City's engineering resources to help determine the most appropriate solution for identified problems: 1) The concern is received. 2) Options are identified to address the concern. 3) Additional analysis of the options to determine engineering, legal liability, and financial constraints or issues may be necessary. 4) A recommendation is made. We appreciate your participation in exploring the most appropriate solution for the problem in your area.

C5.g1 i /� �/ // / M Section 26.04 Right-of-Way at Intersections Support: 01 State or local laws written in accordance with the "Uniform Vehicle Code" (see Section 1A.11) establish the right-of-way rule at intersections having no regulatory traffic control signs such that the driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection must yield the right-of-way to any vehicle or pedestrian already in the intersection. When two vehicles approach an intersection from different streets or highways at approximately the same time, the right-of-way rule requires the driver of the vehicle on the left to yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right. The right-of-way can be modified at through streets or highways by placing YIELD (R1-2) signs (see Sections 26.08 and 26.09) or STOP (R1-1) signs (see Sections 26.05 through 26.07) on one or more approaches. Guidance: 02 Engineering judgment should be used to establish intersection control. The following factors should be considered: A.Vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic volumes on all approaches, B.Number and angle of approaches, C.Approach speeds, D.Sight distance available on each approach; and E.Reported crash experience. 03 YIELD or STOP signs should be used at an intersection if one or more of the following conditions exist: A.An intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of-way rule would not be expected to provide reasonable compliance with the law, B.A street entering a designated through highway or street, and/or C.An unsignalized intersection in a signalized area. i�/ ;�//i 04 In addition, the use of YIELD or STOP signs should be considered at the intersection of two minor streets or local roads where the intersection has more than three approaches and where one or more of the following conditions exist: A.The combined vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian volume entering the intersection from all approaches averages more than 2,000 units per day, B.The ability to see conflicting traffic on an approach is not sufficient to allow a road user to stop or yield in compliance with the normal right-of-way rule if such stopping or yielding is necessary, and/or C.Crash records indicate that five or more crashes that involve the failure to yield the right-of-way at the intersection under the normal right-of-way rule have been reported within a 3-year period, or that three or more such crashes have been reported within a 2-year period.
