Traffic Sign New

Field Inspection Conducted - Close SR. Provided the requestor with the following update: "I'm reaching out to follow up on the Austin 3-1-1 service request you submitted for a double yellow centerline at St Merryn and Farmhaven. Double yellow centerlines are typically installed on streets that average over 6,000 vehicles per day which is much higher than the traffic volumes on the streets in this neighborhood. As part of the Safe Routes to School project, Austin Transportation and Public Works intentionally decided not to install the double yellow except near the intersections. This was done to create a neighborhood street feel with the goal of trying to keep vehicle speeds lower on these streets. We have experienced that the centerline striping creates an environment that promotes higher vehicular speeds. At this time we do not plan to move forward with installing centerline markings along the entire length of the street. The double yellow installed near the intersections provides sufficient indication that the street supports two-way traffic.".
