All-Way Stop Control on Road 120 & Avenue 424, Northwest of Orosi

This project will enhance vehicular circulation and traffic safety at the intersection of Road 120 and Avenue 424. The project will consist of converting a Two-Way Stop to an All-Way Stop controlled intersection by adding STOP signs on Road 120, north and south of Avenue 424 just northwest of the unincorporated community of Orosi, CA. This intersection is currently controlled with Stops for east and westbound traffic only. In response to concerns regarding traffic safety, the Tulare County Resource Management Agency (RMA) conducted an investigation. To improve the vehicular circulation and traffic safety at this location, the Traffic Operations Division determined that this intersection meets the requirements of Section 2B.07 Multi-Way Stop Applications of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), and is consistent with the California Vehicle Code (CVC), Section 22450(c), which states in part that “a local authority may adopt rules and regulations by ordinance or resolution providing for the placement of a stop sign at any location on a highway under its jurisdiction where the stop sign would enhance traffic safety”.
