The STOP sign would provide the appropriate traffic control at the study intersection to improve safety and circulation of traffic. We recommend that the Township install a STOP sign on Sylvan Place at the study intersection. The installation of the STOP sign should be implemented per the guidance presented within Chapter 2B-Regulatory Signs, Barricades, and Gates of the MUTCD (11th Edition). FIGURE 4 – STOP Sign Installation Striping and Signages – Given the wide curb radius at the study intersection, we recommend the implementation of additional striping to support the installation of the stop sign. We recommend that the Township provide a stop bar and double yellow line striping on Sylvan Place to support the stop sign. Sidewalk and Crosswalk Markings – We recommend that the Township maintain their sidewalks and update their marked crosswalks within the study area to improve pedestrian safety and circulation. The implementation of the roadway striping, and signs should follow the guidance presented within the latest edition of the MUTCD. BURNETT TERRACE
