NATIONAL CITY TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
AGENDA REPORT FOR MARCH 9, 2011
ITEM TITLE: REQUEST FOR STOP SIGN AND RED CURB "NO PARKING"
AT THE INTERSECTION OF ETHEL PLACE AND MARY LANE
(BY A. CAMPBELL)
PREPARED BY: Stephen Manganiello, Engineering Department
DISCUSSION:
Ms_ Anne Campbell, resident of 1129 Mary Lane, has requested a Stop sign and red
curb "No Parking" at the intersection of Ethel Place and Mary Lane_ Ms_ Campbell states
that visibility is obstructed when vehicles park at the southwest corner of the intersection.
She also explains that installation of a Stop sign on Mary Lane would enhance safety.
Staff visited the site and observed vehicles parked near the corner of the intersection,
which is currently "uncontrolled" for all three approaches_ Staff agrees that a Stop sign
and red curb "No Parking" would enhance safety and visibility at the intersection. Since
this is a low -volume, "T" intersection, installation of a Stop sign on Mary Lane would be
appropriate_ Staff reviewed the traffic collision history for the study intersection and
found no "reported" collisions_
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the following safety enhancements for the intersection of Ethel Place
and Mary Lane:
1) Install a Stop sign on Mary Lane with 25 feet of red curb "No Parking";
2) Install 20 feet of red curb "No Parking" on the west side of Ethel Place, south of
Mary Lane to enhance visibility.

RE: Intersection of Ethel Place and Mary Lane
I am requesting a traffic safety study of the intersection of Ethel Place and
Mary Lane. Due to parked cars on Ethel Place, the south side of the
intersection does not provide for a clear view either by cars turning left from
Ethel Place onto Mary Lane or for cars corning up the hill and turning right
onto Ethel Place. Red curb on that corner and a stop sign would slow traffic
and provide for visibility for drivers at the intersection.
Please contact me if you need further information. Thank you.
