RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLATION OF ALL -WAY STOP CONTROL
AT THE INTERSECTION OF EAST 22ND STREET AND "A" AVENUE
IN RESPONSE TO SAFETY CONCERNS BY AREA RESIDENTS
WHEREAS, the General Manager and President of Ron Baker Chevrolet of
National City, located at 2301 National City Boulevard, has requested the installation of All -Way
Stop Control at the intersection of East 22nd Street and "A" Avenue because it is difficult to see
eastbound vehicles on East 22nd Street when traveling northbound on "A" Avenue, which
presents a safety concern for drivers; and
WHEREAS, in order to assess whether or not All -Way Stop control is warranted
at this intersection, the City Engineer authorized Kimley-Horn & Associates to perform a formal
All -Way Stop warrant analysis consistent with the guidelines provided in the California Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD), which was performed in February 2018; and
WHEREAS, based on the traffic volumes and collision history collected during
the analysis, the intersection was not found to meet the warrants for All -Way Stop control,
however, based on the restricted sight distances observed from both eastbound East 22nd
Street and northbound "A" Avenue, Kimley-Horn & Associates recommended installing All -Way
Stop control at the intersection, which is supported by the CA-MUTCD, which allows for the
consideration of other criteria, such as locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see
conflicting traffic and is not able to negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is
also required to stop; and
WHEREAS, based on the results of the site evaluation and All -Way Stop warrant
analysis, staff recommends the installation of All -Way Stop control at the intersection of East
22nd Street and "A" Avenue; and
WHEREAS, at its meeting on April 11, 2018, the Traffic Safety Committee
approved staff's recommendation to install All -Way Stop control at the intersection of East 22nd
Street and "A" Avenue.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby authorizes the installation of All -Way Stop control at the intersection of East
22nd Street and "A" Avenue in response to safety concerns by area residents.
