FROM:
1'
Richard J. Plastino
RE:
Philosophy of Traffic Engineering (7th and Glendale)
Public Works is sometimes viewed as stubborn and inflexible concerning
traffic engineering matters. This view of Public Works is partially
correct.,
we in'Public Works believe our role is to provide the City Manager and
the City Council with the best possible advice concerning traffic,
engineeringmatters. In order to acquaint you with our, thinking process,
1
: we, thought it might be helpful to list some of the facts that guide
us when giving you advice. 'There are three groups of facts that we
look at in evaluating traffic engineering matters. These are:
1. legal requirements, 2. basic effectiveness requirements and 3. design
requirements.
1
LEGAL REQUIREhtENIS
� I
I
State Law has several sections which guide Public Works in giving advice
and recommendations. Some of the more important sections are as follows:
Section 321.236 Powers of Local Authorities.
"Local authorities shall have no power to enact, enforce, or
maintain any ordinance, rule or regulation in any way in conflict
with, contrary to or inconsistent; with the provisions of this:
chapter,
and no such ordinance, rule, or. regulation ofsaidlocal
authorities
heretofore or heretoafter enacted shall have any
force or effect,.."
I
i
i
L,
Section 321.255 Local Traffic Control Devices.
"Local authorities in their respective jurisdictions shall place
and maintain such traffic control devices upon highways under their
jurisdiction as they may deem necessary to indicate and carry out
the provisions of this chapter or local ,traffic ordinances, or to
regulate, warrant or guide traffic.- All such traffic control devices
hereafter erected shall conform to the State manual and specifications."

The Manual on Uniform o Trafficont e
C rol Devices states
tha t traffic control
-
devices'should meet five (S) basic requirements. They are:
i
{ I. fulfill a need,
4
1.' command attention,
.3.: convey a clear, simple meaning,' +
4. command respect of road users and {
5.; give adequate time for proper response.
i
DESIGN REWIRDEWS
i
Five basic design requirements must be used to insure that signs are
j
effective. These are:
# 1. design,
2. placement,
3.' operation,
# 4. maintenance, and
t S. uniformity.
Uniformity is important to this discussion and it will be defined
further.' Uniformity,of traffic control devices simplifies the task
j of the road user because it aids in recognition and understanding. It !
aids road users, police officers and traffic courts,by giving everyone
the same interpretation. Simply stated, uniformity' means treating.
similar' situations in the same way. The use of a uniform traffic control
device does not in itself constitute uniformity. 'Alstandard device used
where it is not rappropriate is aslobjectionable as a non-standard.device;
in fact, this may'Eworse in that such misuse may result in disrespect
at those locations where the device is
heeded,

GENERAL DISCUSSION
The ideas expressed above are not abstract in nature. The general
public is aware of its.rights'under the law and there are many attorneys'
willing to sue the City to "safeguard" these rights. For example,
the City is presently being sued because a.person riding a bicycle
slipped on a bikeway that became mud -covered after a heavy rainstorm.
In another case, the City was sued because a person on a bicycle hit
a dip ,in'a sidewalk and fell. In another case, the City was sued
because a person rode into a sidewalk vault door that was in a raised
position._ In yet another case, claims were filed against the City be
cause a piece of metal was picked up by a wheel and hurled against a
gas tank resulting in the gas tank leaking:
4
i
]hese lawsuits, 'even though all will not be lost by the City, represent
a potential outlay of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of
dollars. When Public Works seems reluctant to, give the Council advice
that appears to be in conflict with legal considerations, you may be
assured that we are reluctant. Public officials, ,whether ,they be
elected or appointed are becoming increasingly cautious about legal
+ exposure.
-In our opinion, legal exposure is 'increased whenever the City deviates
from a path of strict compliance with the State Code and the Manual on {
Uniform Traffic Control Devices, particularly when installations have
no proven beneficial purpose. i
§ I SPECIFIC CASE OF 7TH AND GLENDALE - I'
The City Council has received a request to install two (Z) more stop
signs at ,7th and Glendale and to install rumble strips in advance of
!!! these stop signs and at the intersection.
+ - On October 25th, a meeting was held with Lowell Cross and R.L. Dryer,
two residents in the area of 7th and Glendale. In this meeting, the
1 following problems were identified, by Mr. Cross and Mr. Dryer:
i 1. Not enough policemen for enforcement,
2. Speeding can,
3. Spinningtires,
g going p curb and
� 4. Reckless'drivin ;that is, cars oro u over the
over the grass;
5. High traffic volumes,
6., High truck volumes,
7. Danger to children, walking along the street.
These two residents desire the installation of a four waystop sign
and rumble strips of appropriate design at the intersection of Glendale
and 7th Avenue apparently to, correct sane of the perceived conditions
listed above. They consider these advisable for the following reasons:

Ft. Theseexpedients are probably less expensive than alternate
devices,
b. They have intrinsic merit of their own in traffic control
judged by their use elsewhere,
c. If proven ineffective (by what means?) they can be more
readily removed than other devices.
d. Their installation will advertise a measure of concern on
the part of City officials for a problem of serious magnitude.
This concern is not currently advertised to motorists in the area.
This advertisement, by itself, may abate the problem.
In evaluating this proposal, Public Works ca,ipared the suf;grstnl remvdy
against the legal considerations, effectiveness requiren[:nts wit) design '
requirements listed at the beginning of this paper. The use of speed
control bumps, runble strips, etc. is not an approved traffic control
device as listed in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. A
legal interpretation of the Iowa State Code could lead to the conclusion
that if a particular device is not one that is promulgated by the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Devices then actually, it exposes the City to i
liability if it has no demonstrable benefit.' It is possible that installation i
of devices not in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices constitutes
a violation of Section 321.255 of the Iowa State Code and may also be
defined as a nuisance, as defined in 657.2(5) of the Iowa State Code. f
iLegal considerations aside, the question becomes one of effectiveness
and design considerations. Mr. Dryer and Mr. Cross wish to have nmble,
strips because they feel the rumble strip at the stop sign will cause
j wheel hop when somebody squeals,their tires leaving the stop sign and
apparently they wish to have a rumble strip 250 feet in rldv.mce of the
stop sign to warn people about the rumble strip at the stop sign.
Public Works feels that such devices as this fail several of the effective-
ness tests listed on page, 2. We do not believe the devices fulfill'a
need, convey a clear simple meaning, or command the respect of road users.
There is no available evidence rLmble strips either decrease speed
in an urban situation, or stop cars from squealing tires. Purthcrmore,
it would not appear to be a valid function of a City to set up test
installations using Iowa Citians as test subjects.
In regard to using stop signs as speed control devices on 7th Avenue,
the available literature reveals'that stop signs do not work as speed
control devices. Within a very short distance after leaving a stop sign,
vehicles are up at a speed that is considered, logical by the motorist.
We also o know that the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices makes '
a very simple statement about stop signs. It reads as follows:
"Stop signs should not be used for speed control"
The suggestions for 7th and Glendale also fail several design considera-
tions. that the Cit cut deep ! rooves in the

Hess and they will place the City in a prevariols leg position.
During the winter, snow will freeze and thaw in these grooves, creating

hazardous traction situations. It is suggested that stop, signs also
be installed at this location,', whichwill further compound the
problem. When and if lawsuits are filedinconjunction with an-
accident at-this location, the City and its elected and appointed
officials, will be the people who are held responsible for this illegal,
ineffective, and illogical design.
The City is often placed in a difficult position because we, truthfully
have no quick remedies to solve vehicular speeding, spinning tires,',
high traffic volumes and reckless driving. We do know that increased
}police enforcement has some effect and we do know that an'education
s program through the media can be somewhat effective. We believe ,that
it is preferable to' tell concerned.citizeris what we can and cannot
do, rather than to entertain and encourage the discussion and sometimes
z even the installation' of illegal, ineffective and illogical traffic i
control devices.
Throughout the United States, there is a prevalent attitude that if we
.spend enough money'or generate enough ideas about a problem, it
will disappear. ` This isnot the case with'ivehicular traffic. The
automobile has brought our society many benefits, but with the benefits j
we have inherited many, many problems, such as parking, speeding, air
pollution, etc. Public Works believes that within the constraints of
legality, effectivettss and logic,the City cannot provide solutions
II to every conceiveable traffic problem.
i I think that most individuals who work for the City, and certainly
" all of the elected officials, genuinely like to help people solve
1 problems. Unfortunately, there are times uben we must recognize our
limitations and say "no!'. We twist always explain our reasons for
saying no, making it .clear that in the end, decisions must be based
on legality, effectiveness and logic.
