ROUND ROCK, TEXAS City Council Agenda Summary Sheet
PURPOSE. PASSION. PROSPERrff
Item No. F2. - Consent
Consider an ordinance designating the intersection of Commerce Boulevard and Lamar
Agenda Caption: Drive as an all -way stop intersection. (Second Reading)
Meeting Date: November 20, 2012
Department: Transportation Department
Staff Person making presentation: Gary Hudder
Transportation Director
Item Summary:
The configuration of Commerce Boulevard and Lamar Drive, the location, and the traffic volumes at this intersection
all contribute to inconsistent visual cues for drivers. This has been observed by Transportation Staff as drivers
approaching from the south or north on Lamar fail to obey the posted Stop sign while eastbound and westbound
drivers on Commerce — with no Stop sign — stop and yield to the Lamar traffic. An All -Way Stop controlled condition
will eliminate this problem by communicating a clear and consistent message to drivers on all four approaches.
