Determination of status of three traffic signal systems in downtown Salina.
BACKGROUND
On November 28, 2005, the City Commission approved an engineering contract with Bucher, Willis &
Ratliff Corporation for the design of the Downtown Traffic Signal Improvement Project. This project is
included in the City's 2006 Capital Improvement Program. A condition of approval of that contract,
based upon City Commission direction, was the inclusion of a traffic signal warrant analysis of the 7th
and Iron intersection to determine if that traffic signal is actually needed. Another condition of
approval was the creation of the Downtown Traffic Signal Task Force, made up of downtown business
owners and merchants.
During their first meeting on March 13, 2006, the task force members challenged city staff and our
consultants to conduct an additional traffic signal warrant analysis of the intersection of Santa Fe
Avenue and Mulberry Street. In response, the City Commission conducted a study session on March
27, 2006 to consider that request. As a result of that meeting, city staff and BWR were directed to
conduct two additional traffic signal warrant analyses, one at Santa Fe/Mulberry and one at 5th
Street/Iron Avenue. On April 3, 2006, the field experimentation stage began at 7th/Iron and Santa
Fe/Mulberry, during which the traffic signals were placed in "flashing mode" for three weeks followed
by "bagging mode" for three weeks. That experiment was intended to test the reaction of actual
drivers to the possible removal of the traffic signals.
The attached report was prepared by BWR to address the findings of the warrant analyses, the field
experiment and the public input process. Public input regarding the field experiment was received by
email, telephone, letters and a public forum held on May 9, 2006. In addition, the task force met on
May 1, 2006, to discuss the matter.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the traffic signals are removed, city staff resources will be used to remove the systems and salvage
the materials. The only remaining improvements needed at that stage would be some sidewalk ramps
for compliance with ADA guidelines, estimated to cost less than $3,000 per intersection.
If the traffic signals are retained, BWR will complete the design of the intersections under the direction
of the task force and city staff. Final design options will be presented to the City Commission prior to
proceeding to final design plans/specification, bid letting or construction of the improvements. The
estimated minimum cost of improvements to these three intersections is $80,000 each, while the
maximum cost might reach $150,000 each.

Introduction
This study was initiated in response to a request from the City of Salina, Kansas. The purpose of
this study is to provide the City of Salina with signal warrant analysis at the intersections of 7th
Street and Iron Avenue, 5th Street and Iron Avenue, and Santa Fe Avenue and Mulberry Street to
determine if they still meet the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) traffic
signal warrant requirements. Figure 1 depicts the locations of the sites in Salina.

The three intersections were video recorded during the midday and the afternoon peak periods in
order for the stop delay to be calculated. The quality of traffic operation at an intersection is
defined through intersection capacity analysis. Capacity analysis provides a grade for
intersection operation known as level of service (LOS). Level of service consists of a grade
assignment "A" through "F", with "A" being the best LOS and "F" being the poorest LOS, based
on vehicle delay during the commuter peak period. The procedures and methodology for
determining the level of service are outlined in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCl\12000),
produced by the Transportation Research Board. Generally LOS "A" through "0" is considered
acceptable traffic operation. Stop controlled intersection level of service is based on the vehicle
delay of the stopped approach. A summary of the LOS criteria used in these analyses is shown
in Table I.
Table 1 - Level of Service Criteria

F > 50 >80
Traffic accident reports were provided by the City of Salina for the three intersections for the
years 2003 through 2005. Typically, crash history at an intersection is reviewed to determine if a
traffic signal is warranted, but this is only applicable when the crashes studied are at an
unsignalized intersection. The accident reports provided for analysis were from when the
intersections were controlled by a traffic signal. Therefore the analysis of the crashes at the
intersections shows the crash pattern for the signalized conditions. Removal of the signal can
lead to an increase in right angle crashes.
Warrants for Traffic Signals
A traffic signal is considered to be warranted if traffic conditions meet one or more of eight
signal warrants described in the 2003 Edition of the MUTCD. The MUTCD is the state adopted
standard for traffic control devices. The satisfaction of a warrant is not in itself justification for a

signal. The signal should improve the overall safety and operation of the intersection. If a
warrant is not met, then removal of the existing signal should be considered. Typically warrants
are applied to intersections that are stop controlled and the warrants are reviewed to determine if
a traffic signal is warranted. Several of the warrants may also be applied at a signalized
intersection to determine if the traffic signal is still warranted. The eight warrants are:
. Warrant I: Eight Hour Vehicular Volume
. Warrant 2: Four Hour Volume
. Warrant 3: Peak Hour
. Warrant 4: Pedestrian Volume
. Warrant 5: School Crossings
. Warrant 6: Coordinated Signal System
. Warrant 7: Crash Experience
. Warrant 8: Roadway Network
Warrant 7 can not be used to evaluate if a signal is still needed because the crashes occurring
during the time period analyzed occurred under traffic signal operations. The analysis of the
crashes was conducted to determine any predominate crash patterns. The 24 hour traffic volumes
were evaluated to determine if the MlTTCD warrants were met using PC-Warrants for Windows,
Version 1.4.0. The reports produced by this program are included in the appendix.
A summary of the warrant analysis conclusions and existing data for each of the intersections
follows:
5th Street and Iron Avenue
Existing Conditions and Traffic Volumes
Fifth Street is a two lane north-south street. Iron Avenue is an east-west four lane arterial street
with a posted speed limit of 30 mph. The posted speed limit on 5th Street is 30 mph. On street
parallel parking is allowed on both 5th Street and Iron Avenue.

The 24-hour counts for 5th Street and Iron Avenue were taken starting at 2:00 p.m. on
Wednesday, April 19, 2006, and ending at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, April 20, 2006. The total
intersection volumes for 2006 are summarized in Table 2 and the traffic counts are included in

Twenty four hour counts were not obtained in 1996 when the original study was completed. The
original study compared the peak hour volumes obtained in 1996 to the traffic signal w'arrants.
In 1996 the peak hour volumes were such that they indicated a signal was still warranted and no
further study was done. The 1996 and 2006 peak hour counts are summarized in Table 3. As
can be noted from the table, the one way operation present in 1996 for the northbound traffic is
currently operating as two way traffic with only half the traffic in each direction. Since the
warrant traffic volume thresholds are based on the heaviest minor street approach volume, the
readjustment of the minor street traffic has significantly reduced the minor street volume needed
to warrant a signal.

A review of the crashes for the intersection shows that the predominate crash pattern is right
angle crashes. The accident reports indicate that the vehicle violations were traveling on Iron.
The cause of the crash type could be poor signal visibility. Signal heads mounted on mast arms
could be used to make the signals more visible.

The traffic volumes for Warrant lA - Minimum Vehicular Volumes are the closest to being
satisfied. This warrant is satisfied for 5 of the 8 hours. Warrant 2 - Four Hour Volumes is met
for 2 of the required 4 hours. In the 1996 warrant study the volumes warranted a signal based on
the Minimum Vehicular Volumes for the peak hours. The intersection does not currently
warrant a signal based upon the traffic volumes.

The intersection volumes in 1996 did not meet the warrants for a traffic signal. The volumes at
the intersection have decreased since 1996, most likely since Roosevelt School was closed. The
current volumes do not meet the warrant requirements for a traffic signal.
Stop Delay
The traffic signal at this intersection has been taken out of service to replicate the proposed
traffic operations if the signal is permanently removed. The stop delay for the intersection was
calculated for 7th Street at its intersection with Iron Avenue, for the a..m.. and p.m. peak hours,
and is summarized in Table 12 along with the signalized delay for a comparison between the
modes of operation. The delay when the intersection was signalized was available from the 2005
Corridor Study computed by Bucher, Willis & Ratliff Corporation. The stop delay surveys and
signalized capacity analysis are included in the appendix.

The crash pattern indicates that there is a problem with rear end crashes at the intersection of
Santa Fe Avenue and Mulberry Street. All of the rear end crashes occurred on Santa Fe Avenue.
The signals are currently mounted on mast arms for Santa Fe Street. The crashes are likely due
to driver inattention and not lack of visibility. It is likely that rear end crashes will decrease if
the signal is removed since the traffic on Santa F e Avenue will be free flowing through the
intersection.

The intersection did not warrant a traffic signal in 1996. The current traffic and pedestrian
volumes for this intersection are lower than necessary to satisfy the warrants. The traffic
volumes have decreased over the last ten years, probably due to the closure of Roosevelt--Lincoln
Middle SchooL
Stop Delay
The traffic signal at this intersection has been taken out of service to replicate the proposed
traffic operations if the signal is permanently removed. The stop delays for the intersection were
calculated for Mulberry Street at the intersection of Santa Fe Avenue for the a.m. and p.In. peak
hours and are summarized in Table 17 along with the signalized delay as a comparison between
the modes of operation. The delay when the intersections were signalized was available from the
2005 Corridor Study computed by Bucher, Willis & Ratliff Corporation. The stop delay surveys
and signalized capacity analysis are included in the appendix.

The comparison of delays for both modes of operation indicate that the stop controlled operation
operates as effectively as the signal control. There is actually less delay occurring at the
intersection under stop controlled operation.
Summary Conclusions
The study analysis shows the following conclusions:
5th Street and Iron Avenue
. The signal is not warranted but meets 5 hours of the 8 necessary for Warrant Ii\ and 2
hours of the necessary 4 hours for Warrant 2.
. A mast arm traffic signal should replace the existing traffic signal if the signal remains.
7th Street and Iron Avenue
. The signal is not warranted.
. A mast arm traffic signal should replace the existing traffic signal if the signal is not
removed.
Santa Fe Avenue and Mulberry Street
. The signal is not warranted.

Citizen Concerns
Citizen Concerns/Questions
Does the volume of pedestrians and vehicles
still warrant a si nal at Santa Fe and Mulbe
Does the volume of pedestrians and vehicles
still warrant a si oal at 7th and Iron?
Can the speed limit on Iron be lowered to 20
mph?
Concern about the location of the railroad
tracks with 5th and Iron.
Can the speed limit on Santa Fe south of
Mulbe be lowered to 20 m h?
Is the sight distance at the 7t and Iron
intersection adequate?
Is the sight distance at the Santa Fe and
Mulberry intersection adequate?
Concern about the volumes at the 7 and Iron
intersection durin the eak hour.
Concern for pedestrian safety at the
intersection of 7th and Iron.
What is being done about the one crash at 7t
and Iron since removal of the si nal?
Concern that safety has decreased with the
removal of the traffic signal at 7th and Iron.
Concern for safety of disabled citizens at Santa
Fe and Mulbe
_ BUCHER, WilLIS & RATLIFF

Res onse
Current traffic and pedestrian volumes do not
? warrant traffic si nals.
Current traffic and pedestrian volumes do not
warrant traffic si DaIs.
A speed study has not been conducted but
preliminary data indicates that a 30 mph speed
limit is a ro riate.
Signal may remain in place even though it isn't
warranted based on volumes due to other
factors such as railroad location.
This is a valid suggestion and the City \vill
consider this chao e.
The City has removed appropriate parking stall
to create adequate sight distance although
vehicles may still need to pull slowly fOlward
before roceedin into the intersection.
The City has removed appropriate parking stall
to create adequate sight distance although
vehicles may still need to pull slowly fOlward
before roceedin into the intersection.
Overall there is less stop delay when the
intersection is sto controlled.
Pedestrian volumes have decreased from 1997
to 2006 during the noon hour and a majority of
pedestrians were not observed using the
crosswalk. Pedestrians were not observed to
have a significant delay before crossing the
street.
The crash was the result of the vehicle on 7t
Street failin to ield to the sto si n.
The change in operation will require an
acclimation period but the City does not feel
this decreases the overall safety of the
intersection.
The City is concerned for the safety of disabled
citizens and will investi ate the situation.
