28                     West Jackson Boulevard and South Kilbourn Avenue; All Way Stop Sign. Not

Recommended. West Jackson Boulevard is a collector roadway with Significantly higher traffic volumes than South Kilbourn Avenue. Due to the intersections proximity to the traffic signal at West Jackson Boulevard and South Kostner Avenue, a stop sign would be unexpected for motorists and can lead to increased safety concerns. CDOT does not recommend and all-way stop sign at this location because it can increase rear-end crashes, increase congestion, and create a false sense of security for pedestrians that every vehicle will stop. CDOT does not recommend installing an All way stop at this intersection. CDOT will conduct a traffic study at this intersection and provide alternative recommendations - (17-047606810) [Or2017-323]
