While reviewing the intersection of 6th Avenue and Adams Street at the request of a resident, staff noticed that the northbound approach did not have the appropriate lane control sign installed. 

The administrative Traffic Safety Committee evaluated the condition and determined that a lane usage sign should be installed to help alert drivers. A sign indicating "Right Lane Must Turn Right" is recommended to be installed on Adams Street at an adequate distance from the intersection to allow vehicles to change lanes in advance of the intersection. The "Right Lane Must Turn Right" sign is a regulatory sign and requires approval by City Council.

Additionally, a solid white lane line pavement marking will be added between the northbound lanes as they approach the intersection and two right turn arrow pavement markings will be added to the right lane. The lane line will extend approximately 200 feet south of the intersection and the arrows will be placed per MNMUTCD guidance.

The traffic control sign will be manufactured and installed by city staff, funded out of the Street Maintenance operating budget (approximately $125).

The pavement markings will completed as part of the Joint Powers Agreement and will have no impact on the budget.
