INTERSECTIONS OF E. 26TH STREET & "K" AVENUE AND E.
26TH STREET & "J" AVENUE (BY A. DE CASTROI
PREPARED BY: Stephen Manganiello, City Engineer
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Allan De Castro, resident of National City, has requested installation of All -Way Stop
Control at the intersection of E. 26th Street & "K" Avenue. Mr. De Castro is concerned
about safety since currently there are no Stop signs at the intersection.
Staff performed a site evaluation and confirmed that there are no Stop signs at this
intersection. Review of traffic collision data indicates one "reported" accident at this
intersection over the past three years.
Staff reviewed existing traffic control at nearby intersections on E. 28th Street and noted
the presence of All -Way Stop Control. Since traffic volumes and site conditions are
similar, staff recommends installation of All -Way Stop Control at the intersection of E.
26th Street & "K" Avenue. Staff also recommends installation of All -Way Stop Control at
the intersection of E. 26th Street & "J" Avenue for consistency. This intersection is
currently Stop controlled for both approaches on E, 26th Street only. Review of traffic
collision data indicates no "reported" accidents at this intersection over the past three
years.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends installation of All -Way Stop Control at the intersection of E. 26th Street
& "K" Avenue and E. 26th Street & "X Avenue to enhance safety and for consistency with
nearby intersections.

Subject: Request Stop Sign
Hi, to whom it may concern,
Request to install a stop sign in the intersection of K Street and East 26th Street in national city, because drivers
don't know who will stop and go and they end up stopping in the middle of the intersection almost hitting each
other. Please put ASAP on this project before something bad happen.
Thank you so much.
