ITEM NO. 2
AGENDA REPORT
TO:
Traffic and Transportation Commission
FROM:
Scott Harvey, Traffic Technician
DATE:
July 22, 1992
SUBJECT:
Calle PiCa Colada
RECOMMENDATION:
It is the recommended that the Traffic and Transportation Commission deny the request for
closure of Calle PiAa Colada and recommend to City Council to reduce the posted speed limit
from 30mph to 25mph by ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
On July 24, 1991 Staff brought before the Traffic & Transportation Commission the denial
of the request for a street closure of Calle PiCa Colada based on the following reasons:
The level of peak 1/2-hour traffic volumes is not significantly interfering with driveway
or pedestrian movements on the street.
The closure would create a significant diversion of traffic to another residential type
roadway (Avenida Barca), therefore there is not an appropriate alternative for diverted
traffic.
Sufficient gaps are available in Calla PiCa Colada traffic during the peak periods to allow
side street traffic to access Calla PiCa Colada safely.
TRAFFIC VOLUMES:
The Traffic & Transportation Commission requested Staff to bring the Calle PiCa Colada issue
back to the Commission with new traffic counts data on Calle Pi~a Colada and Avenida Barca.
The following are the old and new 24-hour and peak 1/2-hour counts:
Location
24hr.-OId 24hr.-New Peak 1/2Hr.-OId Peak 1/2Hr.-New
CALLE PI~A COLADA
E/B Calle Pi~a Colada 579
W/B Calle Pi~a Colada 568
Both Directions 1147
963 30 92
734 25 48
1661 55 105
AVENIDA BARCA
S/B Avenida Barca
N/B Avenida Barca
Both Directions
1145 79
904 65
1638 116
The main account for the difference in the volumes in the above table is the difference in time
of the year the counts were taken. The old counts were taken when school was not in
progress and the new counts were at a time that school was in session.
The old and new 24-hour volumes counts on Calle PiCa Colada are both less than the 2-lane
residential roadway capacity range of 3,000-3,500. Both the old and new peak half-hour
traffic counts on Calle Plea Cotada provides for more time than the typical driveway maneuver
(worst case backing out) which is 10-15 seconds at most. The new counts show the peak
half-hour traffic volumes represent an average of one vehicle every 17 seconds. These gaps
should be adequate for traffic on Salt River Court, Yorba Court and Bravo Court to enter the
traffic stream at stop controlled "T" intersections.
SPEED LIMITS:
Since the last Traffic & Transportation Commission Meeting regarding Calle PiCa Colada, a
30mph speed limit has been posted on Calle PiCa Colada from La Serena Way to Det Rey Rd.
On July 6, 1992 Staff field-investigated the existing conditions for the possibility of
classifying Calle PiCa Colada from La Serena Way to Del Rey Rd. as a Residential District, Per
Section 515 of the California Vehicle Code, the following two are definitions of a Residential
District:
"(a)
... upon one side of which highway, within a distance of a quarter of
a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 13 or
more separate dwelling houses or business structures, or
(b)
upon both sides of which highway, collectively, within a distance of a quarter
of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 16 or more
separate dwelling houses or business structures."
The case (b) of the above definition does meet the warrant to classify Calle PiCa Colada from
La Serena Way to Del Rey Rd. as a Residential District (see Exhibit "A"). Therefore, Staff
recommends that the posted speed limit on Calle PiCa Colada be reduced from 30mph to
25mph.
The traffic volumes on Avenida Barca are in most cases higher than Calle PiCa Colada as you
can see in the above table. If Calle PiCa Colada was to be closed to vehicle traffic, there
would be an additional amount of traffic placed onto Avenida Barca. In the last Staff's report
it was stated that 500-700 vehicles could be redistributed to Avenida Barca which would
increase the 24-hour volume on Avenida Barca to 2,138-2,338 (30% to 42% higher). By
using these percentages, the peak 1/2-hour counts would possibly increase to 165 on Avenida
Barca. This increase would only provide 11 seconds of gap time, which is in the range of a
typical driveway maneuver (worst case backing out). Staff would not recommend a street
closure on Calle PiCa Colada.

Jefferson Ave. N/O Winchester Rd.- Street Parking
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that "No Parking" signs be installed on both sides of Jefferson Ave. from
Winchester Rd. to the Santa Gertrudis Creek Bridge, except for a 160' long 2-hour parking
restriction on the west side of Jefferson Ave., and install "No Parking" signs on the east side
of Jefferson Ave. from the Bridge to Sanborn Ave (see Exhibit "A"). Also, that Staff will look
at the remaining areas north of this area for prohibiting parking when development permits.
Proceed with this recommendation to the City Council for approval by a resolution or
ordinance.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Jefferson Ave. is classified as a Major Highway, 76' wide from curb to curb. The average
daily traffic for Jefferson Ave. north of Winchester Rd. is 14,200. The posted speed limit is
50mph (85 percentlie = 51 m ph). The area adjacent to Jefferson Ave. between Winchester
Rd. and the northerly city limits is zoned commercial/industrial. Approximately 1000' north
of Winchester Rd. a bridge exists for the Santa Gertrudis Creek. North of the bridge exists
mostly vacant graded land with some commercial developments. Only one development north
of the bridge has access onto Jefferson Ave. at the present time. The area from the bridge
south to Winchester Rd. is fully developed.
The Traffic Engineering Staff field-investigated the existing parking conditions on Jefferson
Ave. N/O Winchester Rd. and found that parking is allowed on both sides of Jefferson Ave.
except on the bridge per the Vehicle Codes Section 22500(k) and an approx. 100' section of
red curb on the E/S of Jefferson Ave. Staff has observed that vehicles on the bridge, even
though it is illegal. The police department has been notified of this matter. Because of the
continuous parking violations that have been observed, Staff recommends that "No Parking"
signs be posted on the bridge. Between Sanborn Ave. and Winchester Rd. there exists two
commercial driveways on the west side and four commercial driveways on the east side of
Jefferson Ave. At the intersection of Jefferson Ave. & Winchester Rd. there exists a 10'
wide striped S/B right turn lane without any restriction of parking. Therefore, parking
restrictions for the S/B right turn lane is needed.
There exist two lanes of traffic for both directions on Jefferson Ave., both #1 lanes are 12'
wide, both #2 lanes are 20' wide, and there is a 12' wide two-way left lane in the middle of
the roadway. Both #2 lanes provide a 8' wide parking lane along with a 12' wide travel lane.
Just for comparison, Jefferson Ave. between Winchester Rd. and Rancho California Rd., is
all zoned for commercial and the roadway conditions are similar to the area n/o Winchester
Rd., except that there exists no parking on both sides of Jefferson Ave. and the posted speed
limit 45mph.
ACCIDENT FINDINGS:
There were 2 each reported accidents in the subject area in the year of 1990 and 1991. Both
accidents involved vehicles exiting the commercial driveways onto Jefferson Ave. To date
for the year of 1992 there has not been a reported accident in the subject area.
SIGHT DISTANT RESTRICTIONS:
Per the Caltrans Highway Design Manual, the 50mph stopping sight distance is 430'. To
provide this required stopping sight distance, parking needs to be prohibited for at least 260'
from the left side of each driveway on Jefferson Ave. This would require the need to install
"No Parking" signs continuously along Jefferson Ave. from Winchester Rd. to the Santa
Gertrudis Creek Bridge, except for 188' on the west side of Jefferson Ave. between the first
two driveways north of Winchester Rd. Also, there is a need to prohibit parking for 460' on
the east side of Jefferson Ave. north of the bridge to Sanborn Ave. to meet the above sight
distance requirements. To provide adequate exiting site distance to the right of the
driveways, a minimum of 20' is needed to be restricted from parking to allow the person
exiting to see any vehicles in the two-way left turn lane. This right side restriction would
reduce the above 188' parking to 160' on the west side of Jefferson Ave. Staff recommends
to install "No Parking" signs on both sides of Jefferson Ave. from the bridge to the
Winchester Rd., except for the 160' on the west side of Jefferson Ave. as mentioned above.
Adjacent to the 160' long parking area on the west side of Jefferson Ave. exists several
newspaper stands that need to be accessible to the public. Staff recommends to limit the
parking time to 2 hours to help this area to have a higher vehicular turnover for the existing
business and for the newspaper stands.
FISCAL IMPACT:
FY92-93 Impact: Install approx. 18-"No Parking At Any Time" (R26) signs on both sides of
Jefferson Ave. between the Bridge and Winchester Rd. and on the east side of Jefferson Ave.
north of the Santa Gertrudis Creek Bridge (18 X 100 = $1800). Remove existing red curb
(100 X 1 = $100). Paint 160' of green curb (160' X 1 = $160). Therefore, the total
FY92-93 impact is $2,060.

Parking At Kentucky Fried Chicken
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that red curb be painted on the north and south side of Moreno Rd. east
of Front St. per Exhibit "A". Proceed with this recommendation to the City Council for
approval by a resolution.
DISCUSSION:
On May 4, 1992 there was a request to paint red and green curbs to prohibit parking near and
around the Kentucky Fried Chicken to help sight visibility and to eliminate trucks from parking
overnight.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Moreno Road is classified as a Secondary Highway, 64' wide curb to curb. The posted speed
limit is 25mph. The area adjacent to Moreno Road is zoned for commercial. In the immediate
vicinity are three (3) restaurants, two (2) motels, and a commercial business.
The Traffic Engineering Staff field-investigated the existing parking condition on Moreno Rd.
and found that there is no restriction of any parking except at the existing fire hydrant in front
of Denny's~ Staff observed vehicles parking very near the fire hydrant on several occasions.
Therefore, Staff recommends to paint red curb at the fire hydrant location.
ACCIDENT FINDINGS:
There have been no reported accidents in the subject area in the year of 1991, nor in the year
of 1992 to date.
SIGHT DISTANT RESTRICTIONS:
There exists a sight distant problem for each driveway near the Kentucky Fried Chicken
property. Staff recommendations to paint red curb between the driveways at the Kentucky
pwO4~ttafflc~agda\0722.4 0714
Fried Chicken, Denny's, Mexico Chiquito and at the Best Western to improve the sight
distance for people driving vehicles out of the existing driveways (see Exhibit "A").
OVERNIGHT PARKING:
There is no Vehicle Code nor any Temecula Traffic Ordinance that restricts overnight parking
for commercial vehicles. Therefore, staff does not recommend restricting the parking of
trucks in this area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
FY92-93 Impact: Stripe 200' of red curb @ 1 X 200 = $200.

Typical Striping for Knuckle Type of Streets
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Traffic & Transportation approval a typical double yellow stripe for knuckle type of
streets in the City of Temecula.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has field-surveyed several knuckle streets in the City of Temecula and observed many
people cutting the knuckle and driving onto the oncoming travel lane. There is a need to have
a definite distinction between both travel ways, especially in this type of situation. For the
safety of the general public, Staff is recommending to at least stripe the curve section of a
knuckle (see Exhibit "A") with a double yellow stripe per Caltrans Detail No. 21 and to only
stripe those knuckles that warrant the striping.

Centerline Striping Policy
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Traffic and Transportation Commission recommend for approval to the City Council
the attached centerline striping policy.
ATTACHMENT:
Centerline Striping Policy
CITY OF TEMECULA
CENTERLINE STRIPING POLICY
The use of painted centerllne stripes on paved streets is a proven separator and traffic
safety device. It should not be used unless the pavement has sufficient width to
accommodate opposing lanes of traffic.
This policy is established to provide a guide in making judgements so that the goal of
ultimately striping all suitably paved City streets can progress in a fair and reasonable
manner within the financial ability of the City to maintain, and to serve the greatest
number of street users.
The following types of roadways will be the first priority in providing centerline
striping: arterial, major, secondary, and industrial collector. Due to their residential
nature, collectors and local streets would only be considered under special
circumstances.
Listed below are the guidelines used to determine the centerline striping of a City
street.
1. An Average Daily Traffic Volume of 750 vehicles or more.
Pavement width to provide at least two adequate traffic lanes of acceptable
widths.
3. Route continuity.
4. Established through street (all intersecting streets stop).
5. High motor vehicle accident rate.
6. Multi-lane street.
7. Special hazards due to alignment or fog.
