RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLATION OF STOP CONTROL AND YIELD
CONTROL SIGNS AND PAVEMENT MARKINGS AT EIGHT INTERSECTIONS
WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BOUND BY HIGHLAND AVENUE TO
THE WEST, "L" AVENUE TO THE EAST, EAST 18TH STREET

WHEREAS, residents have expressed concerns regarding the lack of traffic
control signs at several intersections within the neighborhood bound by Highland Avenue to the
west, "L" Avenue to the east, East 18th Street to the north, and East 24th Street to the south; and
WHEREAS, a traffic study was performed, which included site investigations,
traffic counts, review of accident history, and formal warrant analyses consistent with the
procedures outlined in the State of California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD); and
WHEREAS, the traffic study confirms that a total of six intersections within the
neighborhood do not have traffic control signs, while two intersections have Yield control for
only one approach. Review of accident history at these eight intersections indicates a total of
four reported accidents over a five year period. While the number of reported accidents is low,
analysis of site conditions and traffic count data allow for the installation of Stop signs and/or
Yield signs, consistent with MUTCD guidelines; and
WHEREAS, based on the results of the traffic study, the following Stop control
and Yield control signs and pavement markings are recommended for improved traffic control
within the neighborhood bound by Highland Avenue to the west, "L" Avenue to the east, East
18th Street to the north, and East 24th Street to the south:
1) Intersection of "I" Avenue & East 20th Street — install Yield signs and Yield pavement
markings for the north and south legs of the intersection (currently uncontrolled for all 4
legs);
2) Intersection of "I" Avenue & East 21st Street— install Stop signs and Stop pavement
markings for the north and south legs of the intersection (currently uncontrolled for all 4

markings for the north and south legs of the intersection (currently uncontrolled for all 4
