27                     South Green Street and West Jackson Boulevard; Jackson Boulevard is a major

collector roadway with significantly higher traffic volumes than Green Street, a local roadway. Stop signs on streets with higher volumes such as West. Jackson Boulevard tend to increase rear-end crashes, increase congestion, and create a false sense of security for pedestrians that every vehicle will stop. Therefore, CDOT does not recommend an all-way stop at this intersection. - (19-01627398) [02019-6497]
