A. The city shall, with respect to roadways under its jurisdiction, establish and promulgate warrants to be used as guidelines for the placement of traffic-control devices near schools for the purpose of protecting students going to and from school. Such devices may include flashing signals. Such warrants shall be based upon, but need not be limited to, the following items: pedestrian volumes, vehicle volumes, width of the roadway, physical terrain, speed of vehicle traffic, horizontal and vertical alignment of the roadway, the distance to existing traffic-control devices, proximity to the school, and the degree of urban or rural environment of the area.
B. The governing board of any school district may request the city to install traffic-control devices in accordance with the warrants established. Within ninety days thereafter, the city shall undertake an engineering and traffic survey to determine whether the requested crossing protection meets the warrants established pursuant to this section. The city may require the requesting school district to pay an amount not to exceed fifty percent of the cost of the survey. If it is determined that such requested protection is warranted, it shall be installed by the city.
