• RESOLUTION NO.98- �p
A RESOLUTION TO REMOVE THE"NO LEFT TURN"RESTRICTION FROM
SOUTHIBOUND SW ROYALTY PARKWAY TO EASTBOUND SW NAE VE STREET IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE INSTALLATION OF A 4-WAY STOP AT THAT
'
INTERSECTION.
WIIyEREAS,the Engineering Department evaluated the need for a multiway stop at the intersection of
SW Royalty parkway and Naeve Street in late 1997 and determined that the warrants were not met at
that time;and
WHEREAS,the Engineering staff in June 1998 re-evaluated the need for a;nultiway stop at the
intersection based on warrants in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD;and
WHEREAS,the traffic studies indicate that the 85th percentile speed is at approximately 36 miles per hour
on SW Royalty Parkway;and
WHEREAS,the predominant movement is still along Royalty Parkway with the traffic volumes
approximately three times greater than the volumes on Naeve Street; and
WHEREAS,there have not been any accidents reported at this intersection,and sight distances are
sufficient even for the speed that vehicles are traveling up and down the hill;and
WHEREAS,the findings of the traffic studies in June 1998 indicate that the multiway stop is still not
warranted;and
WHEREAS,there are other considerations that may be introduced for evaluation on a case-by-case
basis;and
WHEREAS, the City Engineer's assessment of this situation is that it would be prudent to install the
multiway stop because of two reasons: the intersection as configured is skewed as it goes uphill forcing
motorists on Naeve Street to turn at a more than 90-degree angle to look uphill for oncoming vehicles,
and the natural tendency of vehicles is to speed up in that area—both on the on the downhill and uphill
legs;and
WHEREAS,the input from the major users of the area was overwhelmingly in favor of the 4-way stop
installation;and
WHEREAS,City Council has agreed that the"No Left Turn"restriction prohibiting left turns from
southbound SW Royalty Parkway onto Naeve Street should be removed as part of the 4-way stop
inst llation at that intersection;and
