The Goodland City Commission is looking for input on the traffic lights located at 11th and Main and 12th and Main. The Commission recently received a Traffic Engineering Assistance Program Study on the stoplights at 11th & Main and at 12th & Main. The study gave a base recommendation and an alternate recommendation.
Base Recommendation: The existing traffic signal control should be removed in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 4B.02 of the MUTCD. Two-Way STOP Control should be implemented with 11th Street and 12th Street being the STOP controlled approaches at Main Street.
Alternative Recommendation: As an alternative to the Base Recommendation, the intersections of 11th Street/Main Street and 12th Street/Main Street could remain as traffic signal controlled intersections on the basis of Traffic Signal Warrant #6. If this Alternative Recommendation is pursued by the City of Goodland, we recommend the signal systems be upgraded to current day standards and technology to include vehicle detection, battery backup, updated controller, and an accessible pedestrian signal system.
