The City of Carlsbad's Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission is scheduled to discuss new proposed all-way stops at three locations citywide during its next meeting on May 4.

Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission
Monday, May 4, 4 p.m.
City Council Chamber
1200 Carlsbad Village Drive

The agenda and staff report will be available on the city's website by Friday, May 1.

How to participate

• Attend the meeting in person and provide a public comment
• Email comments to traffic@carlsbadca.gov by 1 p.m. on Monday, May 4
• Watch the livestream on the city’s website

Locations where new all-way stops are being considered include:

• Batiquitos Drive and Aviara Drive
• Camino De Los Coches and La Costa Avenue
• Tamarack Avenue and Sunnyhill Drive

After analyzing traffic volumes and patterns at these intersections, city staff are recommending new all-way stops to help improve pedestrian access, make it easier for cars to turn onto busy streets and reduce speeding.

Tamarack Avenue and Sunnyhill Drive

In 2023, the city installed a raised crosswalk on Tamarack Avenue at Sunnyhill Drive to help address speeding concerns. Since then, we have continued to monitor the intersection and determined that a new all-way stop would make it easier for pedestrians to safely cross the street. If an all-way stop is approved at this intersection, the existing raised crosswalk and flashing warning beacons would be removed and new high-visibility crosswalks would be installed on all four edges of the intersection.

Next steps

During its meeting on May 4, the Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission may recommend that the City Council approves all-way stops at one or all of these intersections. The City Council would then consider approving the all-way stops at a future meeting.
