I would also add that political pressure is only a minor consideration for Traffic Engineering. They generally review such requests by evaluating some standard metrics to help them understand if the proposed traffic control will actually improve safety (as AASTHO defines it) at the intersection. The largest single contributor to this metric is peak hour automobile traffic volume on both streets and crash history.

Traffic Engineering is usually reluctant to put in stop signs (I don't know what their yield sign policy is), so it helps to generate popular pressure before you go to the City. _____ From: "Martin Lund" <[email protected]> To: "bikies" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 7, 2011 9:53:36 AM Subject: [Bikies] Stop/Yield Sign Requests Which office(s)/person(s) should be contacted if folks would like to see a stop or yield sign added to a particular intersection in their neighborhood? This would be for the Atwood area in Madison.
