The objectives of the study are to determine the accident experience when STOP-controlled intersections were converted to YIELD control and to develop guidelines for converting STOP control to YIELD control. To achieve these objectives, the researchers identified current traffic engineering practice through a review of the technical literature and a survey of state and local highway agencies. In addition, the researchers collected existing accident data and conducted new field studies to determine the safety consequences of converting STOP control to YIELD control for a full range of applicable traffic volumes. The researchers analyzed the information gathered and developed definitive guidelines regarding YIELD control as a substitute for STOP control and suggested wording for improved STOP and YIELD control warrants. It is believed that implementation of the guidelines and warrants will improve the safety and efficiency of many roadway intersections.
