The report describes a one-year project conducted for the Texas Department of Transportation to identify, evaluate, and recommend traffic control device treatments at two-way stop-controlled intersections. Researchers conducted several research tasks, including surveys of traffic engineers and a diverse sample of the driving population, and field studies to investigate traffic control devices, including supplemental signs, at these types of intersections. Supplemental sign issues that were addressed include placement, shape, color, and legend content. The project developed guidelines to imrpove driver comprehension and minimize driver confusion of the right of way conditions at two-way stop-controlled intersections. Adoption of the guidelines by TxDOT will provide a consistent treatment across the state and minimize the crash potential and liability exposure that exists at two-way stop-controlled intersections.
