Item No. 21 - REPORT ON TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION WARRANT STUDIES T VARIOUS INTERSECTIONS
IN THE CITY OF IOWA CITY.
Comment: The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has completed
warrant studies at various intersections within the City of Iowa City.
The following is a synopsis of these studies.
If
a) . First Avenue and Lower Muscatine 0'r -e'
A 16 -hour manual count indicates that the minimum traffic volume
warrant.for traffic signals is met at this intersection. Addition-
ally, the traffic accident experience warrant is just short of
meeting the requirements.for the installation of traffic signals.
It is recommended that traffic signals be installed at this
intersection and that a four-way stop sign be authorized until
such time as the signals are placed in operation.
b) Mall Drive and Lower Muscatine Avenue
The existing traffic volumes at this intersection fall short of
meeting signalization warrants; however, they do continue to
meet the four-way stop warrant. It is recommended that the
four-way stop signs remain at this intersection and a new count
be taken during the Spring of 1975.
c) Highway #6 By -Pass and Sycamore Street
The Iowa State Highway Commission authorized the installation of
traffic signals at First AVenue and #6 By -Pass on the condition
that a warrant study would be conducted at Sycamore and #6 By -Pass
after the traffic situation had stabilized. This intersection
continues to meet the minimum traffic volume warrants for traffic
signals and it is recommended that the staff be authorized to
forward this information to the Iowa State Highway Commission
along with an application for a permit to install traffic signals
on a permanent basis.
d) Highway #6 By -Pass and Fairmeadows Boulevard /�i c<<�.
• This intersection meets the minimum traffic volume warrants for
the installation of traffic signals and, in addition, meets the

traffic accident warrant. It is recommended that the staff
be authorized to forward this information to the Iowa State
Highway Commission along with an application for a permit to
install traffic signals at this location.
e) Dodge Street and College Street - LLr
The counts at this intersection indicate that neither the traffic
signal warrants nor the four-way stop warrants are met. The
existing signal installation, `_herefore, does not meet the warrants,
as outlined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, for
either traffic volume or collision experience. It is recommended
that the staff be authorized to forward these counts to the Iowa
State Highway Commission along with an application for a permit
to remove the existing signals. Additionally, it is recommended
that a resolution be passed authorizing the installation of stop
signs on College Street to stop traffic on College before entering
Dodge.
