Can I request a new traffic control sign?
A traffic control sign is an effective device when installed at the right place at the right time. Traffic control signs are intended to convey messages necessary to help roadway users understand and navigate City streets. Many signs such as stop signs are used to help determine who has the right-of-way.
Federal and state standards are applied when determining if a traffic control sign is warranted at an intersection. Many signs are only warranted under specific roadway volumes or collision history. The City understands the importance of a uniform vehicle code and applies the guidelines outlined by the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD). The CA-MUTCD is the City standard for all traffic control devices (Resolution 18725 and 21412).
