RECOMMENDATION(S):

RESCIND Traffic Resolution No. 1976/2181, and ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2018/4475 declaring a stop-control on Roundhill Drive (Road No. 4437V) and Roundhill Road (Road No. 4437U), as recommended by the Public Works Director, Alamo area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Roundhill Drive is currently yield controlled at its intersection with Roundhill Road. As requested by the Roundhill Club’s General Manager, Public Works Traffic Engineering Staff initiated an investigation of the intersection to determine if a stop control of Roundhill Drive could be justified.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Based on the investigation, it has been determined that a stop control may be placed on Roundhill Drive at Roundhill Road pursuant to California Vehicle Section 21354, which states that stop signs may be placed at entrances to "through highways". Traffic Resolution 3201, approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 15, 1987, designated Roundhill Road as a through highway. Therefore, the Public Works Department recommends that the existing yield control be replaced with a stop control on Roundhill Drive at Roundhill Road, to enhance the orderly flow of traffic, and allow enforcement of the traffic regulation.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Roundhill Drive at Roundhill Road will remain a yield controlled intersection.
