City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #177251

Street & Traffic Signs:

Other: Can the city consider installing “cross-traffic does not stop” signs below the stop signs on Allen Street at its intersections with Washington and Lincoln Streets? Cyclists may be lulled into a false sense of security as they ride on Allen Street, a marked bicycle boulevard, especially if they have just come off the B-Line trail where they are conditioned to cars yielding to them at intersections. As such, they might not be watching diligently for cross-vehicular traffic (or will assume that vehicles are going to stop for them) on Washington and Lincoln Streets, which does not have to stop at their respective Allen Street intersections. By installing “cross-traffic does not stop” signs (both eastbound and westbound) on Allen Street, safety can be improved by giving cyclists another warning that they had better heed the stop signs.

The City does not have plans to install 'cross traffic does not stop' signage on Allen St. These signs are warning signs, whereas the stop signs are regulatory and apply to all road users including cyclists. Increased use of (and lack of consistency with) the cross traffic does not stop signage can also create confusion regarding who is expected to stop at all one- or two-way stop controlled intersections.
