FISCAL IMPACT: Attachment: Draft Traffic Safety Brochure r:\traf~c\commhsn\agenda\95\0727/ajp DRAFT TRAFFIC SAFETY In Your Neighborhood Prepared for the Residents of Temecula By the City of Temecula Funded by the Office of Traffic Safety What can YOU do to make your neighborhood streets safer? The Temecula Public Works Depathttent receives numerous compla'mts about speeding on residential streets. The City can respond with paint, signs, or enforcement, but what can the residents do to help keep their neighborhoods as safe as possible? Those local streets which residential driveways in median to high density residential communities, have a speed limit of 25 mph. Speed studies on these streets show that most vehicles travel between 22 and 32 mph. Some motorists travel faster. Teenagers and commuters are not the only ones who exceed to the speed limit. Residents who are familiar with the roads and feel comfortable on them may speed. Those late for work, in a hurry to pick up kids, or just happy to get home may also speed. Local streets servicing large lot rural subdivisions do not qualify for the 25 mph limit as listed above. So, what can you do to make neighborhood streets safer? As a Driver.. . Know the Speed limit and observe it. The speed limit on most residential streets is 25 mph (unless rural or otherwise posted). This lower speed gives drivers more time to react to the unexpected and to stop in an emergency. By the time the driver sees a hazard and applies the brakes to slow the vehicle, an average of 2.5 seconds has elapsed. In this brief period of time, a vehicle going 35 mph travels nearly 40 feet farther than one going 25 mph. When you are traveling on residential streets, make a conscious effort to drive 25 mph or less. Check your speedometer frequently. To aide driver awareness, the Traffic Division will be placing the City's radar trailer display unit on various residential streets throughtout the City. The twelve inch variable number display will quickly inform motorists as to their exact speed without looking away from Irafire. Insist that other drivers of your vehicles observe this limit, and remind your friends and neighbors to do the same. Plan your trips and allow plenty of travel time. Due to uncontrolled traffic incidents, the City can not guarantee that your regular travel time will not be lengthened. When you do run late, remember that your car is not a time machine in which you can magically regain lost minutes by driving fast. Speeding between traffic signals and stop signs does not get you where you want to go any faster than steadily driving the speed limit. So phone ahead to let those who are expecting you know you are running late - and then relax and enjoy a safe trip! Watch for and yield to pedestrians. They have the right-of-way at all intersections, not just in marked crosswalks. Remember that young pedestrains don't fully understand the life and death issues associated with vehicle impacts. Use arterials streets for the main portion of your trip and avoid taking "Shortcuts" Residential streets may seem like "short-cuts", but probably will not save travel time if you stay within the 25 mph speed limit. Arterial streets are designed to carry more cars at higher speeds than residential streets. In addition, travel on arterials is far less likely to be interrupted by an unexpected vehicle turning into a driveway or a child crossing the street. Before you travel, check a map. To shorten driving time, choose routes than allow you to make efficient use of arterials and minimize your travel on residential streets. If you have more than one way from your house to an arterial, choose the path which passes the fewest driveways. Don't take chances, even on short trips. Accidents don't happen only during long trips or highway drive. Statistics shown that most accidents occur on local roads, when drivers are within four miles of home. So always buckle up before you pull out and ask your passengers to do likewise. Drive within the speed limit. Come to a full stop at stop signs. Observe all traffic signals. When a traffic light turns green, pause long enough to be certain that the intersection is clear and that no motorist is approaching at a high rate of speed, intent upon running the light, before you proceed. Adjust your driving pattern on local streets. Expect the unexpected. Prepare yourself for sudden changes. Be ready to react swiftly and to swerve or stop quickly. It is far better to prevent an accident by driving defensively than it is to have an accident that wasn't your fault. Drive 25 mph or the posted speed limit. As a Parent.. . Set a good example for your children. Children learn by watching and imitating. Your actions as a pedestrian, bicyclist, and driver speak louder than your words of caution, so set a good example. Do not allow your children to play in the street. Instead, encourage them to use their own yard, a nearby park, or a school playground for their games and activities. Caution children not to dart into the street in pursuit of a pet or ball. Tell them to stop at the curb and to enter the street only when it is safe to do so. Stop, look, and listen Before you cross the street. Use your eyes, Use your ears, And then use your feet. Caution children to stay alert while crossing any street. Even though cars are supposed to stop for people, some drivers are in a hurry or are careless and fail to do so. Painted crosswalks cannot protect pedestrians from these drivers, but caution can. Tell children not to dawdle but to cross quickly and to continue watching and listening for cars until they are safely on the curb at the other side. Supervise your children's trips to and from school. Plan a direct and safe route to and from school. Look for ones that minimize the need to cross streets. Walk with your child and point out places in which to be especially careful. Younger children may have difficulty judging speeds and distance, and may need to be accompanied until they gain experience. Students riding bikes should be aware of the rules of the road and should always wear helmets. Walk to school when you can. Driving a car only increases the traffic congestion around schools. If you must drive, try to carpool and remember · Obey the rules of the road and observe the spcc, d limit. · Have your children ready with lunch money and homework in hand before you leave home so they will not have to take time to collect these nec.~ssities before getting out of the car at school. · Do not double park at the school or let children out in the middle of the street. Make sure that they entor and exit only from the curb side of the car · Watch for bicyolists and pedestrians As a Bicyclist. . . Encourage safe cycling. This healthful, fun activity can also be an excellent transportation alternative. Select a bike that is the right size. Don't buy a bicycle to be "grown into". Oversized bikes are hard for kids to control and may result in an increased number of falls. When you go shopping for a bicycle, take your child along. Make certain that the child can put firm pressure on both pedals while siring on the seat and can stand solidly on the ground with the bike between their legs. Wear a helmet. As of January I, 1994, all persons under 19 years of age are required to wear helmets when riding bicycles. Teach your children to wear helmets by wearing one yourself. Select a helmet that · covers the forehead and does not slide forward or backward · rests level on the head and does not rock from side to side · does not interfere with vision or hearing · fits snugly when the strap is fastened · feels comfortable · bears an ANSI or Snell safety-approved label Choose bike routes carefully. For novice riders, select routes with light vehicle traffic, marked bike lanes, and no steep hills or sudden stops. Suggest that young riders walk their bicycles across the streets at signalized intersections. When doing so, they should push the button and use the crosswalk just like pedestrians. Obey the rules of the road. Bicycles are vehicles. Bicyclists must know and obey the California Vehicle Code. 1. When traveling on streets, ride in the same direction as the other traffic. 2. Know and use hand signals to warn other drivers of your intent to turn or stop. 3. Do not wear headsets or earplugs, which may interfere with your ability to hear horns, sirens, or other sounds that warn of apprnaehing vehicles or other dangers. 4. Do not attach yourself by hand, rope, or other device to another moving vehicle. The danger in doing so is that you may be pulled into or under the vehicle. 5. Do not carry a passenger unless that person weighs less than 40 pounds and rides in a special seat attached to the bike. Cart,frog addiftonal weight makes it difficult for you to balance the bioyole and to maneuver it safely in traffic. As a Pedestrian... As a Resident.. . Where there are sidewalks, please use them. Sidewalks create a separate place on which pedestrians may travel safely. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic. Watch the oncoming traffic, and be prepared to move out of the path of any vehicle whose driver or rider appears not to have noticed you. Cross streets only at corners. Motorists are more likely to expect you to cross at an intersection. Crosswalks exists at all intersections even if not painted. If a marked crosswalk exists, use it. But remember that painted crosswalks cannot protect pedestrians from careless drivers. Walk quickly and continue to watch for cars as you cross. At signalized intersections, push the button for the WALK sytnbol and start crossing only when this symbol appears. When the DON'T WALK symbol begins to flash, finish crossing the street. Do not step off the curb while the DON'T WALK symbol is flashing. Instead, push the button and wait until the WALK symbol reappears. You will only receive the WALK symbol when conflicting vehicle indications have properly concluded, so please be patient. STEADY "Start" crossing, watch for turning vehicles FLASHING "Don't Start" Finish Crossing if started STEADY Pedestrians Should not be in crosswalk When you walk at night, wear white. Dark colors absorb light. Dressing entirely in dark colors makes you invisible to approaching motorists. White reflects light. Wearing white or light colols makes it easier for motorists to see you and adjust their driving if necessary. Addiaonal copies of thls brochure con be oblained from the City of Temecula Get involved. Be aware of road conditions, traffic patterns, and alternate routes. Obey the rules of the road as a pedestrian, cyclist, or motorist. Because the driver determines the speed of the car, everyone can make a contribution to the neighborhood safety. Talk with your neighbors about safe ways to drive and safe places for children to play so that they are not in the roadway. Notice when existing situations seem to create problems for motorists, cyclists, or pedestrians. Think about ways in which these situations might be changed. Talk with the Temeeula Public Works Department. Report damaged sidewalks and streets, and hidden or missing signs to Maintenance Division staff members. Report traffic concerns to Traffic Division staff members. They will work with you to address problems, find solutions, and make your community a safer place in which to live, work, walk, ride, and play. EXAMPLES · Is sidewalk pavement cracked, broken, or raise, d? · Do branches from a tree or shrub obscure street signs? · Has any sign been phced where it is hard to see or where it blocks a pedestrian's or motorist's view of oncoming traffic? · Have once-clear sight lines at a driveway or comer been blocIced by maturing shrubs or bushes? · Are vehicles regularly being parked so that they block a sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to detour into the street?

As in past monthly reports, the Part One Crime statistics are broken down by individual districts within the City. This provides stable parameters for monitoring criminal activity, and is useful in planning police resource deployment. The Police Department issued fewer traffic citations last month than during June of 1994. June saw an increase in both injury and non-injury traffic collisions, and an increase in arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol. With the Special Enforcement Team again directing its efforts at street level narcotics enforcement, a significant increase was seen in arrests for narcotics and related offenses. Most reported felony property crimes decreased over June of 1994, with the exception of residential burglaries which remained fairly consistent with last year. Total arrests for all offenses were up dramatically over June of 1994. The Temecula Police Department hosted "Operation Southwest Sunrise" on June 17, 1995. This multi-agency task force involved over fifty peace officers from neighboring law enforcement agencies, including the Lake Elsinore, Murrieta and Moreno Valley Police Departments, the California Highway Patrol, the Riverside County Probation Department, and several stations of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. This operation enabled the Temecula Police Department to draw on resources from other agencies free of charge for a short term assault on criminal activity in Temecula and its environs. Search warrants prepared by Temecula's Special Enforcement Team were served, and parole and probation searches performed. TEMECULA POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY REPORT, JUNE 1995 PAGE TWO Operation Southwest Sunrise resulted in numerous arrests, and the seizure of weapons and narcotics. Next month's Police Department Activity Report will include results of the first Southern County Accident and Injury Reduction (SCAIR) program. This multi-agency, DUI checkpoint program was initiated with a vehicle checkpoint held in Temecula on July 1, 1995.

June was a busy and interesting month. Fire station crews were very active in public relations and education in the community. New Engine 84 and ladder truck T73 spent 6 hours on display at the TVHS Youth Olympics. Many questions were answered by our personnel. There were also some fire station tours this month as well. Plans for the new fire station on Pauba Road are nearing final completion at this time. City staff is working to continue this process on schedule. On the morning of June 2, the strip mall located at 27725 Jefferson burst into flame and began to quickly burn. The fire was of such intensity that three full alarms of fire crews / resources were ordered to protect adjacent structures and to contain and extinguish the fire. According to our fire investigator, the fire began in the kitchen area of the Chinese restaurant where a stove was left on after hours. The fire had a chance to burn most of the night and to set up a situation where all it needed was more fresh oxygen to burst, almost explosively, into flame beginning in the common attic area. Prior to the discovery of fire, there were no obvious signs of the presence of fire by fire department standard methods, which include visual inspection for heat discolorations in walls and ceilings, listening for crackling in walls, checking for hot or burning smells, feeling for hot surfaces, and using the infra- red heat detection gun to locate hidden heat sources in structures. A total of nine fire engines, two ladder trucks, two battalion chiefs, one breathing support truck, one deputy fire chief, and one fire investigator responded to the incident, representing about 30 personnel. No civilians or fire personnel were injured and there was no damage to either the Sizzler Restaurant (shake shingle roof within 75 feet) or the Remax building within about 30 feet of the intense fire. The fire was successfully confined to the building of origin. If only this building was newer, it would have had full attic fire separations and fire sprinklers which would have prevented it's loss. On June 14 and 15, we conducted fire captain interviews to fill two vacant fire captain positions in Temecula. A fire captain is in charge of his / her individual fire station and supervises either a fire engine or truck crew on an emergency. Two excellent candidates out of twenty five competitors were successful for the Temecula positions. FC Bertil Bjorklund and FC Jim Garrett will be transferring from the San Diego CDF operation. Both are very experienced and are known to be very sharp. Jim will be assigned to the City fire engine at Station 12 and Bert, who lives in Temecula, will be the first official fire captain assigned to Station 84 on the East side of the freeway. June 17th saw us respond to a possible drug lab - hazardous materials call on Hill 27 off of Rancho Vista Road. Chemicals were found at a residence that was the subject of a police drug raid earlier that moming. Officers were concerned that chemicals had contaminated the house and surrounding property. Several officers had their eyes burning and were given treatment to wash out any possible contaminants. No one was transported. T.I.P was summoned by FD to provide help to the two elderly residents of the house. On lune 17th, we also responded to a traffic collision at Margarita and Rancho Cal. Roads. An occupant in one of the cars had to be extricated using our power jaws and other tools. Mercy Air 3 helicopter transported the patient to the Riverside General Hospital. Police, fire, a Public Traffic / Safety Commission member, and other City staffers met at City Hall on June 291h to discuss various methods to get the public more aware of and interested in disaster preparedness. Since before incorporation, the FD Emergency Services Division has tried various methods to start volunteer programs. All have hinged upon key local volunteers who eventually move out of the area, etc. and the program then dies out. Most successful programs in other communities have a full time coordinator which spends their full time keeping the program going, and with excellent results. At this meeting, it was agreed that no paid staff is available for this type of support and that an educational expo would be more educational and beneficial for the community at this time. On Saturday, November 4, 1995 at the Temecula CRC, our City will have it's first annual Public Safety Expo. All Temecula police and fire equipment, personnel, and programs will be on display. In addition, local cooperating agencies serving our community will also be invited as well as vendors who sell disaster preparedness tools and supplies. A lecture will be held for adults on the R.E.D.I program, (residential emergency & disaster initiative) which discusses several levels of disaster survival preparedness. The REDI program has proven successful in the City of Corona. The Temecula Public Traffic / Safety Commission wishes this to be the highest quality of public information and education on public safety and emergency preparedness. Visitors will also be polled on their interests in participating in a community volunteer group and we are planning some raffles and a pancake breakfast there as well. Fire and police demonstrations will include the K9 detail, auto extrication, swift water rescue, Sheriffs Emergency Services Team (SWAT). There will be many other events and childrens activities as well. We have formalized our Temecula Community School Fire Prevention Plan for this year. Our department "volunteers in prevention" coordinator and fire prevention education person will coordinate and present our local fire prevention messages to our elementary school kids. The last new fire engine was delivered to Station 73 this month. The new Engine 73 is now in service. At this time, all three City fire stations have brand new fire engines as first line equipment. All second line engines are newer now also. The Bear Creek (Riverside County) fire station which responds into our City ~o assist from time to time has also received two new fire engines. The new engines are quite attractive and are working out well so far. E84 was on display at the Father' s Day Car Show at the Sports Park and there were many positive comments made about our vehicle and crew. We continue with our monthly fire safety inspections in commercial businesses to reduce the hazards and conditions that cause needless property and life loss due to fire. Most vendors remain cooperative and can eas'fiy understand the need for the inspections. The Chinese restaurant fire was a reminder to all businesses that these fires can still happen in a community such as ours. We appreciate your continuous and informed support. Fire season is in full swing now and there have been a number of large fires in adjacent Lake Elsinore. We will continue to work at minimizing fire potential in our City and to control all unwanted fires as quickly as possible. By: J.

EMERGENCY PLAN PREPARING THE FAMILY Few families nave ever taken time to ~alk spout evacuation from the home in case of fire, and even fewer have discussed what to do in the case of an earthduaKe or other natural widespread disaster. Eartjlquake experts agree that a catastrophic quake is due in Southern California somewhere along the San Ancireas fault. Residents in areas heavily impacted could be isolated for a minimum of 72 hours before police, fire and paramedics could respond and render assistance. Preparedness must therefore he done on an individual family and community 13as~s, Preparing our home, workplace and c~mmunity can signi~cantJy reduce the loss of life and property damage, Begin your home planning by meeting in family council to (fiscuss how a major disaster would affect you and your fernfly. Counsel with your children and reassure them abOUt what ba expect and how to react cturing and after the quake. Prepare a floor plan of your home and plan evacuation routes for eac~ area. Select a safe location to meet, outside the house, after the quake, Rote-playing the thinge you discussed wfil instill automatic responses and will avoid panic and {njury. Develop a plan to reunite and communicate with family member~ in the event you may be separated when the earthquake strikes. Have all family members trained in First Aid and CPR. Begin to pn3vision your R.E.D.I. Pack and fallow the checklist, "Preparing the Home." Be an active participant in the Neighborhood Skills Inventory and organize your own block, Ask about emergency preparedness at work and at school.
