44 West Addison Street and North Lakewood Avenue; All Way Stop Sign, Stopping All
Approaches, Not Recommended. W. Addison Street is a major collector roadway with significantly higher traffic volumes than N. Lakewood Avenue, a local roadway. Stop signs on streets with higher volumes such as W. Addison Street 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 - (19-00099964) [Or2019-7]
SECTION 2. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force here in after its passage and publication.
