At Gotham Street/Wayne Avenue the stop sign was installed because of a severe
si ht distance problem for Wayne Avenue traffic and intersection geometries.
Th intersection is skewed, and traffic turning from north bound Wayne Avenue
to west bound Gotham Avenue was negotiating the turn at a faster speed than
no al for a 90 degree T intersection. This stop is functioning as intended.
FI CAL IMPACT: The total cost for installing these signs was $230.00.
