Per the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), stop signs are used to assign right-of-way for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The CA MUTCD provides guidance on thresholds that should be met for two-way and all-way stops to be installed, called warrants. These warrants can sometimes take up to one year to complete due to high demand.
The CA MUTCD also states that stop signs should not be used for speed control, and also that the need for a stop sign can be eliminated if the sight distance at an intersection is increased by removing obstructions. Please note that requests for stop signs to address speeding concerns will be evaluated through the City’s traffic calming procedures. Additionally, where a stop sign is being requested to address visibility concerns at an intersection, the request will first be evaluated for installation of red curb. These requests can generally be addressed much more quickly than the stop sign warrant process. If you’d like to make a request regarding speeding or intersection visibility issues, please use this form:
