Requesting a stop sign is a process, involving several different stages in order to determine if the location being requested is warranted. The first step in the process would be to present a request to your Alderperson. He or she will review the information and follow up by contacting the Transportation, Traffic and Parking Department. Once the request is received by the department, staff will review the request and determine its viability based on guidelines given to us in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, issued by the Federal Highway Administration. Intersections must meet federal criteria in order to install a stop sign. If warrants reveal that federal criteria are met, the department will submit a final recommendation to the Traffic Authority for approval and installation. This process can take anywhere from 2 to 6 months. Thank you for your concern in this matter.
