All-way stop approved at Delaware Drive and Fraser Drive after sight-distance review
Summary
Public works staff recommended converting the existing one-way stop at Delaware Drive and Fraser Drive into an all-way stop after sight-distance constraints were identified; the council approved the change following the public-works committee recommendation and an AASHTO-warrants review.
The City of Dalton approved an all-way stop at the intersection of Delaware Drive and Fraser Drive on Aug. 4 after a staff review that cited sight-distance constraints for eastbound traffic approaching the intersection. Chad (public works staff) told the council the intersection met AASHTO warrant criteria for an all-way stop; the public-works committee reviewed and recommended the change.
Council members voted to adopt the conversion by voice vote. The staff presentation noted sight-distance concerns and recommended the all-way stop to improve safety; the meeting record does not include a traffic-calming study, crash-history numbers, or a sign-installation timetable. The action was presented as an operational traffic-control change stemming from engineering review rather than an ordinance amendment.
