  9. Multi-way STOP Control • Traffic Volume Warrants not met • Stopping Sight Distance Criteria* “borderline” • Existing sight distance = 400 feet from north • STOP warranted if 390 feet or less 56th Street and Central Avenue *Sight distance criteria from Indiana Design Manual, Indiana Department of Transportation

  10. Traffic Signal Progression • Potential approach to speed control on Meridian • Current progression speed = 40 mph • Scenarios investigated: 30 mph, 35 mph, 40 mph • Time-space diagrams provided through DPW • Additional signal at 43rd suggested to reinforce 38th Street to Kessler Boulevard progressive speeds between 38th and 46th
