Of these, 50 percentile were at 28 mph, and 85 <br />percentile at 33 mph. The posted speed is 30 mph, showing the majority of vehicles were <br />travelling at a minimal speed. <br />►A review of traffic control was conducted and it was found the Shevlin Drive intersection <br />already has a stop sign posted at Willow Drive. It is felt additional stop signs on Willow <br />would provide minimal deterrence to excessive speeding. <br />►Finally, a stop sign would impact normal traffic flow as well as providing opportunity for <br />rear end collisions.
