Stop signs, stop signs, or perhaps a stop light. Lawrence’s Traffic Safety Commission is preparing for a discussion of all the above. Here’s a look at some issues the advisory board is scheduled to debate at its 7 p.m. meeting on Nov. 3 at City Hall. ¢ A request for a pedestrian-activated signal at the intersection of Arrowhead Drive and Peterson Road. About 100 residents have signed a petition urging for an improvement at the intersection, which they contend is very difficult for pedestrians to cross. The city’s traffic engineer said the intersection doesn’t meet the traffic levels to warrant a signal, but he also noted that the City Commission recently has approved pedestrian crossings for other parts of town that have not met the recommended levels. ¢ Kansas University leaders have learned to love a set of stop signs that were recently installed to help with traffic concerns related to construction of The Oread, a hotel development at 12th and Indiana. KU is now asking that the temporary multi-way stop signs at the intersection of 11th and Louisiana and 11th and Mississippi streets be kept permanently. One of the reasons the university wants to keep the stop signs is because they believe they make the intersections more pedestrian friendly. So, that brings me to a question. What intersection or street do you think is the most difficult to cross? There are a few more issues that traffic safety commissioners will consider at next week’s meeting.
