10.3.2.2 TWSC Warrants

Two-way Stop-control warrants are typically checked per TMUTCD. According to the TMUTCD, the use of STOP signs on the minor-street approaches can be considered if engineering judgement indicates that a stop is always necessary because of one or more of the following conditions:
  • The vehicular traffic volumes on the through street or highway exceed 6,000 vehicles per day;
  • A restricted view exists that necessitates road users to stop to adequately observe conflicting traffic on the through street or highway; and/or
  • Crash records indicate that three or more crashes that are susceptible to correction by the installation of a STOP sign have been reported within a 12-month period, or that five or more such crashes have been reported within a two-year period. Such crashes include right-angle collisions involving road users on the minor-street approach failing to yield the ROW to traffic on the through street or highway.
For more information regarding TWSC warrants, see Section 2B.06 in the TMUTCD.
