Committee forms subcommittee to review Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for local speed-control and school-zone options
Summary
Members agreed to form a three-person subcommittee to review the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and recommend feasible speed-control and school-zone measures for Estacada.
The committee agreed to set up a subcommittee to review the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and to identify traffic-calming and school-zone options suited to Estacada.
Committee members said the MUTCD is extensive (the presenter cited roughly 1,165 pages) and that a targeted subcommittee would be able to identify feasible, locally appropriate measures rather than proposing solutions suited to larger cities. Members discussed focusing the work on two topics: speed-control alternatives to speed bumps and school-zone enhancements.
Volunteers for the subcommittee were recorded as a three-person group; the meeting transcript states the subcommittee will include “myself, Tasha, and Jim.” The committee directed that members present viable, community-appropriate options and suggested the subcommittee report back at a future meeting.
No formal ordinance or budget change was enacted; the item is an internal work plan for committee review.
