warrants established by the MUTCD. This must be documented as part of a traffic impact study. 3. Although the signalization warrants may be satisfied for an access, the City of Tiffin shall have the final decision on whether a traffic signal should be installed. Such a decision will be based on whether the proposed traffic signal would be detrimental to coordinated traffic flow, result in undue delay, impair traffic operations, or impair traffic safety on the city street. 4. All cost associated with traffic signal installation shall be the sole responsibility of the developer. Prior to approval of an access facility with a traffic signal, the developer shall enter into a formal joint agreement with the City of Tiffin. The joint agreement shall delineate the responsibilities of the city and the responsibilities of the developer and shall include but not be limited to, paying, or causing to be paid, all costs revisions, modifications, and/or modernizations provisions related to the traffic signal installation. If a traffic signal is required to be part of an interconnected traffic signal system, the developer shall also be responsible for all costs associated with the interconnection. If signal interconnection is not presently warranted but is anticipated to be warranted in the short term, the developer may be required to install interconnection accessories (i.e. underground cable, hand holes, etc.) during initial access construction in order to facilitate future interconnection. All controllers must be fully compatible with the existing signals throughout the city system. 5. At all signalized driveways, a separate left turn lane shall be provided on the street for traffic turning left into the access. Access signals shall be semi-actuated, with detector loops provided for left turn movements entering the access and for all exiting movements from the access. Access signals within 2500 feet of a signalized street intersection should be interconnected and coordinated with the intersection signal.
