Many factors are considered before installing all-way stops in the Town of Milton. This includes staff conducting a traffic study to count through traffic and turning traffic on both the main and secondary streets, conducting spot speed studies and collecting collision analysis of the intersection.
Traffic studies are typically completed on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and are not done during summer months due to irregular traffic patterns.
Additionally, they are conducted after almost all of the construction has been completed within new subdivisions.
Residents are reminded that all-way stops are used to control vehicle right-of-way at an intersection and are not used to control speeds.
