BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
Council District: 2
The Engineering Division received a request for an all-way stop at the intersection of Klein Meadows and Bentwood Way. The intersection has four approaches and is currently controlled by stops on Bentwood Way. Both Klein Meadows and Bentwood Way have a speed limit of 30 mph and are residential streets.
An engineering review with traffic counts was conducted in accordance with the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD). Additionally, the intersection crash history was reviewed.
Based on the result of these investigations, an all-way stop is not warranted at this intersection at this time.
