This issue still under review.

The request for all-way stop was not approved. The location does not meet warrants due to low vehicle speeds, lack of accident history and responsibility of drivers to first stop at stop bar and then pull forward to view when clear to proceed.

Your request regarding a traffic signal/traffic sign has been closed.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep Tukwila a great place to live, work and visit!

Regards,
Tukwila Public Works Department

Who on earth makes these decisions? You also have to consider the age of the drivers and perhaps a not so good sense of judgment. Have you ever thought of that? Watch out for the Senior population out there.

That’s a bummer. I understand the need to make a risk-based decision and focus on the high impact traffic areas first. That’s why I waited patiently for 2 MONTHS after reporting this issue. I expected it wouldn’t get the highest priority, but I certainly didn’t imagine it would be denied. It seems like a no-brainer.

People come speeding up this hill to cut over to S 144th, especially after school lets out from Tukwila Elementary. With the shrubs and bushes blocking the view of non-stopping traffic, you’re suggesting to stop, then pull forward… until what? You’re halfway in the intersection and have to slam on your brakes?

I understand what the posted speed limit is in the area, but that certainly doesn’t prevent people from speeding. I was almost t-boned the other day with my kids in the car.

Nearly all the surrounding neighborhood intersections are 4 way stops, only further making this intersection “unexpected” for drivers passing through.

Very discouraging.

It is very discouraging. Why does someone have to be injured or die for something to be done? I agree, that so many of the other intersections are four way stops sets up false expectations for those new to the area.

It's the American attitude or way of doing things. Die and ask questions later.

If the commercial van parked at the corner would park the required 30 feet from the intersection, there wouldn't be any issue at this intersection. It is only when cars park too close to the intersection that some people have an issue.
