AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to install STOP signs on 4th Street on Big Coppitt at the
intersection of 4th Street and Avenue F to create a 4-way stop condition instead of the current 2-way
Stop condition.
ITEM BACKGROUND: F.S. 316.006 (3)(a) grants counties jurisdiction to place and maintain
traffic control devices upon all streets and highways under their original jurisdictions.
In response to a request from a resident and based on inspection by Engineering staff, Monroe
County's traffic engineering consultant performed a traffic study to determine whether installing
STOP signs on the two (north-south) legs of 4th Street at the intersection with Avenue F on Big
Coppitt to create a 4-way Stop condition was warranted. Currently, there are STOP signs on the east-
west legs of Avenue F. The intersection is in a residential area with vehicles parked on the road
shoulders; there is a county park to the west on Avenue F.
The traffic study was performed in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) Multi-Way Stop Sign Warrant Analysis. The results indicated that the intersection did
not meet any of the four criteria for installation of a multi-way stop control; however, it was noted
that due to the curved geometry of Avenue F just south of the intersection and parked vehicles,
vegetation and utility poles the sight distance at the intersection is restricted, which is a condition
that may also be considered when evaluating whether to install a STOP sign.
