All-Way Stop Warrant Analysis Dartmouth Road & Forest Hill Road Project No.: 251404 November 7, 2025 Page 8 of 14 70 South Orange Avenue, Suite 109 PO Box 99 Livingston, New Jersey 07039 Roseland, NJ 07068 C: (732) 236-7557 T: (973) 228-0999 F: (201) 753-3904 BrightViewEngineering.com Figure 2 – Sight Distance – Dartmouth Road & Forest Hill Road Based on the existing geometry of the intersection, we find that the intersection sight distance (335 feet) for a stopped vehicle on the minor road (Dartmouth Road) to be insufficient. We observed overgrown foliage are conflicting with the intersection sight triangle. We observed that if vehicles stop closer to the mainline on Dartmouth Road, then they would have clear visibility of the traffic conditions at the intersection and would be able to safely make a turn onto Forest Hill Road. We note that stopping sight distance on the major road (Forest Hill Road) to be sufficient. It is our opinion that clear sight lines should be maintained by properly maintaining trees and foliage and prohibiting parking at the corners and within the sight triangle of the study intersection. We recommend that the Township cooperate with its residents to trim overgrown foliage and clear obstruction from sight triangles, as reasonable. The warrant was not satisfied. Section 2B.15 All-Way Stop Control Warrant C: Transition to Signal Control or Transition to Yield Control at a Circular Intersection Option: 01 All-way stop control may be installed at locations where all-way stop control is an interim measure that can be installed to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the installation of a traffic control signal (see Chapter 4C) at the intersection or for the installation of yield control at a circular intersection. The study location is not a circular intersection nor is a traffic signal currently planned. This warrant is not applicable.
