ITEM NO. I MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION DECEMBER 12, 1996 A regular meeting of the City of Temecula Public/Traffic Safety Commission was called to order on Thursday, December 12, 1996, 7:02 P.M., at the City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California. Chairman Coe called the meeting to order. PRESENT: COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Markham, Perry ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None Also present were Public Works Engineer All Moghadam, Assistant Engineer Hasib Baha, Police Sergeant Rodney Crisp, Battalion Chief John Winder and Administrative Secretary Anita Pyle. Chairman Coe expressed his appreciation to the City Council for reappointing him to the Public/Traffic Safety Commission and welcomed newly appointed Commissioner Larry Markham to the Public/Traffic Safety Commission. Chairman Coe called for non-agenda items at 7:05 P.M. Mr. Frank Klein, 30180 Santiago Road, Temecula, noted he has seen no change on the dirt portion of Santiago Road since his appearance before the Public/Traffic Safety Commission and hoped the matter was still open. Mr. Klein asked to be put on the agenda at a future date for a 15-minute presentation on Temecula winds. Mr. Jay Finnell, 31145 Via Norte, Temecula, presented a petition asking for the Via Norte/Del Ray Streets to be made safer. He stated the residents he contacted would like one or more of the following items: speed limit reduced to 30 MPH; painted bike/jogging lanes; increased frequency of safety warning signal in the area. Mr. Finnell said a lot of the traffic was at 55 to 60 MPH, which makes it very unsafe for children and to exit one's driveway. Commissioner Guerriero mentioned there had been extensive studies in that area in the past and the problem seemed to be internal as most of the speeders were residents of the tract and perhaps Mr. Finnell and his group need to go before the homeowners association to resolve the problem internally. Commissioner Coe stated the City can revisit the area to determine if there is adequate parking area and mentioned the Traffic Calming Policy which can be referenced. Sergeant Crisp stated the radar trailer will be placed in the area along with back-up enforcement. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION DECEMBER 12. 1996 COMMISSION CONSENT CALENDAR 1. Approval of Consent Calendar It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero and seconded by Commissioner Perry to approve the Minutes of August 22, 1996, and September 26, 1996. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Perry NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSTAIN: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Markham COMMISSION BUSINESS 2. Removal of Parking Restriction - Mira Loma Drive Associate Engineer All Moghadam stated the property owner affected by the Mira Loma Drive red curbing only one (1) days notice was received of the September 26, 1996, Commission meeting when this matter was discussed. The property owner has requested this item be placed on the agenda again to discuss his concerns such as pedestrian safety and speeding. Mr. Robert Oder, Jr., 29911 Mira Loma Drive, Temecula, owner of the Mira Loma Apartments, expressed his concern that large trucks/vans parking next to the red curb area present hazards to the large number of children in the area and to traffic exiting the apartment complex or driving by because everyone's visibility is substantially diminished. He would like the red curbs extended by 30 feet on both sides of the two driveways; the area between the two driveways be all red curbed; and a speed limit sign posted on the hill. He mentioned also how water becomes a torrent during severe rain storms, but recognizes a costly storm drainage project is the only answer. Mr. Robert Oder, Sr., 29911 Mira Loma Drive, Temecula, owner of the Mira Loma Apartments, stated safety was their real concern and they have maintained the red curbs since 1981 when they were told by the County to paint the curbs to whatever length they felt was necessary. He said the silt in the road causes drivers exiting the apartments to spin out partially and they cannot be seen when a large vehicle is parked by the driveways. Commissioner Perry stated although there is little that can be done regarding to the speed limit, he does not see a disadvantage to the red curbs except for maintenance over a long period. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION DECEMBER 12, 1996 It was moved by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Commissioner Guerriero to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution to extend the red curb on the north side of Mira Loma Drive by 30 feet on the east and west ends of the driveways; to fill in the red curb between the two (2) driveways; and also to have staff look at the drainage problems with the silt. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 5 COMMISSIONERS: Coe# Guerriero, Johnson, Markham, Perry NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None "No-Parking" Zone - Rancho California Road Associate Engineer All Moghadam stated that staff has received a request from the Post Office to establish a "No Parking" zone on Rancho California Road, east of Margarita Road in front of the Post Office. However, since Rancho California Road is a major arterial, parking should be restricted on both sides of Rancho California Road from Margarita Road to the east City Limits. Mr. Moghadam said this recommendation covered Items 3 and 6 on the Agenda. It was moved by Commissioner Markham and seconded by Commissioner Guerriero to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution to establish a "No Parking" zone on both sides of Rancho California Road, east of Margarita Road, to the Temecula City Limits at Butterfield Stage Road. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 5 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Markham, Perry NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None "No-Parking" Zone - Rainbow Canyon Road at Birdie Drive Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff recommendation to establish a "No Parking" zone on Rainbow Canyon Road at Birdie Drive to improve the visibility of approaching vehicles when exiting Birdie Drive. Commissioner Markham asked if establishing the red curb on the north side of Rainbow Canyon Road from Pala Road to Pechanga Creek would be beneficial due to the high speed traffic down Rainbow Canyon Road. Mr. Moghadam replied he saw no disadvantages. Commissioner Coe stated that might impact the homes in the area who already have limited parking. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION DECEMBER 12.1996 It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero and seconded by Commissioner Perry to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution to establish a "No Parking" zone on Rainbow Canyon Road on both sides of the Birdie Drive intersection. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 5 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Markham, Perry NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None 5. "No-Parking" Zone - North General Kearny Road. north of Nicolas Road Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff recommendation to establish a "No Parking" zone on North General Kearny Road north of Nicolas Road to improve sight distance and enhance safety of bicycle path users. It was moved by Commissioner Coe and seconded by Commissioner Markham to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution to establish a "No Parking" zone on North General Kearny Road, north of Nicolas Road. Commissioner Perry inquired if there were warrants for traffic signals at the intersection of Nicolas Road and North General Kearny as it is becoming a problem area and also if the matter could be put on next month's agenda. Mr. Moghadam responded that he would see if the warrants study has been done previously and report back at the next meeting. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 5 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Markham, Perry NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None 6. "No-Parking" Zone - Rancho California Road at Meadows Parkway The area included in this item was incorporated into the motion for Item 3. The motion passed unanimously. 7. Election of Public/Traffic Safetv Commission Chairperson and Co-Chairperson It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero and seconded by Commissioner Perry to elect Larry Markham as Chairperson to preside over the Public/Traffic Safety Commission for the 1997 calendar year. The motion was carried with Commissioner Markham abstaining. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION DECEMBER 12. 1996 It was moved by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Chairman Coe to elect non Guerriero as Vice-Chairperson who will assume the duties of the Chairperson in his absence, for the 1997 calendar year. The motion was unanimously carried. TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S REPORT Engineer Moghadam presented the Traffic Engineer's Report. Commissioner Perry expressed his concern about traffic between the Bedford Court signal and 1-15 being brought to a standstill and creating a traffic hazard. Mr. Moghadam stated Caltrans has required the City to install interconnect cable between the two (2) signals to coordinate the timing. Commissioner Markham stated the installed La Paz Road signal, allows a window for the westbound traffic to get out. It is his understanding the ramp widening and signalization project goes to bid January 1997 with the contract awarded May 1997. Commissioner Perry stated he has been contacted about the increase in traffic on La Paz Road since the signal was installed and there is concern as the road edge is not marked by a white line. He asked if staff can look at the situation and since there is no street lighting, install better markings so people can see the road edge at night. POLICE CHIEF'S REPORT Sergeant Rodney Crisp reported the first Operation ERACIT, on November 8, 1996 was very successful and two more are planned for December 14, 1996 and one later in the month. FIRE CHIEF'S REPORT Commissioner Guerriero asked if the City has a false alarm ordinance. Battalion Chief John Winder replied there is not one, and although reoccurrence of false alarms is not a problem at this time, he would like one in the future. He stated several ordinances are in effect in other cities and he would get copies, report back to the Commission to determine the best way for Temecula to proceed. Commissioner Markham asked when the new station will open. Chief Winder answered probably in February 1997 and he believes it will be the showcase of the county. Chairman Coe questioned whether or not the City would be having another safety expo. Chief Winder replied it had been tabled until 1997. Commissioner Markham asked about the status of personnel for the French Valley Airport Fire Station. Chief Winder stated during the fire season, there are two state Forest Fire engines downtown and during the winter, the county puts up the money to keep those people on emergency response which allows a paid engine at French Valley for the winter months to provide coverage in the north end of the city and to do maintenance. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION DECEMBER 12.1996 Commissioner Markham asked about the potential of a volunteer program for French Valley. Chief Winder said there is a group now, but recruitment of more volunteers for the Temecula Valley Volunteer Company is needed so all stations can be covered, leaving those living near French Valley staff that station. Commissioner Guerriero had a question about the status of the new helmets. Chief Wintier stated the Department has one which is in service, and is trying to buy another before the discount period runs out. Commissioner Guerriero asked if the Chief had heard about a River Rocket for fast water rescue, and an illuminated fire rope. Chief Winder said they have a line gun with a cordless string which is similar to the River Rocket, but he had not heard of the fire rope. He will contact the distributors and get back to the Commission if either appears worthwhile. COMMISSION DISCUSSION Commissioner Markham reported he attended the Murrieta Transportation and Traffic Commission where alignments to tie Jackson Avenue into Alta Murrieta or Franklin becoming Whitewood, and studies of the potential Alta Murrieta Park Overpass were discussed, which effect the interface between the two Cities. He stated the north end realignment of Jefferson Avenue tying into Palomar and the creek side alignment were also discussed. He is unable to attend the next meeting to be held January 2, 1997. He also attended the Murrieta City Council meeting and they have received a RAID grant, which deals with car theft, and a supplemental law enforcement allocation for equipment based on population. Sergeant Crisp stated the Temecula Police Department is also working on the equipment allocation grant. Commissioner Markham inquired if staff had given thought to red a curb on all the circulation element streets rather than on an individual basis. Commissioner Perry stated he did not opposed the idea, but there are a number of problem areas such as Jefferson Avenue, and hearings and meetings with the business owners for their input would be necessary. Commissioner Markham inquired as to why high 3ressure sodium lights for signals are installed which are in violation of the City's Ordinance and the Mt. Palomar scenario. He mentioned the county uses the same high pressure lights, but Caltrans is beginning to use the low pressure sodium lights, here and in District 11, San Diego County. Mr. Moghadam stated amber traffic signal lights are low pressure and can be confused with the amber lights for signal indications. Commissioner Guerriero inquired about having a right-turn lane eastbound on Rancho California Road into Oscar's along with no parking on Rancho California Road. Mr. Moghadam replied such a lane is possible. Commissioner Guerriero questioned allowing left-turns across Rancho California Road out of the Target Shopping Center by the Claim Jumper as it creates a hazardous situation. He asked if the median could be extended and elongate the left-turn lane at the signal. Commissioner Perry stated due to the congestion and poor internal design, all left-turn lanes out of the center should be eliminated. Staff will look into the matter. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION DECEMBER 12.1996 Commissioner Guerriero stated the signal at Lyndie Lane has been activated at peak morning and evening times when there is no east or westbound traffic on Lyndie Lane. Mr. Moghadam stated the signal can detect a vehicle making a right-hand turn and then does not realize the car has moved on. He will look into the matter. Commissioner Coe stated Rainbow Canyon Road has had some pot holes filled, but it is still atrocious and very dangerous. He also mentioned it was thought the signal at Rainbow Canyon Road and Pala Road was going to improve congestion, but it seems to have done the opposite. Commissioner Coe stated it is impossible for Pala Road traffic to make turning moves onto Hwy. 79(S) when there is peak traffic on Hwy. 79(S) which backs up traffic on Rainbow Canyon Road. He said sometime in the future, that area needs to be revisited. it was moved by Commissioner Guerriero and seconded by Commissioner Markham to adjourn the meeting at 9:10 P.M. The motion was unanimously carried. The next regular meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission will be held on Thursday, January 23, 1997, at 7:00 p.m., Temecula City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California. Chairman Charles Coe Secretary ITEM NO. 2 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Ali Moghadam, Associate Engineer January 23, 1997 Item 2 Speed Limit - Via Norte and Del Rey Road RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission deny the request to lower the speed limit from 35 MPH to 30 MPH on Via Norte and Del Rey Road. BACKGROUND: At the December 12, 1996 Public/Traffic Safety Commission meeting, the Commission received a request from an area resident to lower the existing posted speed limit of 35 MPH to 30 MPH on Via Norte. Via Norte and Del Rey Road are 36 foot wide roadways in the residential community of Meadowview. The Meadowview Community was developed prior to the City 's incorporation and the roadways within this area are not constructed per the current City standards. Therefore, several relatively sharp horizontal curves, vertical curves and steep Fades are incorporated into the design of these roadways. The posted speed limit of 35 MPH was established per an Engineering and Traffic Survey conducted by the City on February 15, 1994 and in eonsideralion of the design speed. A new Engineering and Traffic Survey was conducted for Via Norte and Del Rey Road on January 7, 1997 to determine if a lower speed limit could be justified. The following table is a summary of the speed study eondueted on February 15, 1994 and January 7, 1997. · i~4DATA · ":1997 DATA Via Norte Del Rey Road Median Speed 851h Percen~le Median Speed 851h Percenffie 37 MPH 42 MPH 39 MPH 43 MPH 36 MPH 40 MPH 35 MPH 38 MPH Studies conducted by various traffic research institutes show that generally, the majority of the motorists travel at a speed which appears to be safe and reasonable regardless of the posted speed limit. For this reason the California Vehicle Code (CVC) has established certain criteria for determination of non-prima faeie speed limits. It should be noted that Via Norte and Del Rey Road do not meet the criteria for prima faeie 25 MPH speed limit on "Residence District' as defined by the CVC. Posted speed limits are primarily based on an analysis of prevailing speeds (85th pereentile), as measured in the field, accident history and roadway conditions. Section 627 of the CVC defines Engineering and Traffic Survey as follows: Engineering and Traffic Survey 627.(a) "Engineering and Traffic Survey", as used in this cede, means a survey of highway and traffic conditions in accordance with methods determined by the Department of Transportation (highlighted for emphasis) for use by the state and local authorities. Co) An engineering and traffic survey shall include, among other requirements deemed necessary by the department, consideration of the following: (1) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements. (2) Accident records. (3) Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver (highlighted for emphasis). Chapter 3, Article 1, Section 40801 and 40802 of the CVC essentially state that non-prima faeie speed limits must be justified by an engineering and traffic survey in order to be enforceable by radar or other means of measuring speed of a vehicle. Therefore, speed limits that are not justified by an engineering and traffic survey constitute a "speed trap" and are not admissible in court. As stated in the definition of "Engineering and Traffic Survey", the survey must be conducted per California Department of Transportation (Calltans) guidelines. Caltrans Traffic Manual essentially states that speed limits should be posted at the first 5 MPH increment below the 851h pereentile speed in the absence of other factors. As indicated in the table, the 851h percentile speeds for Via Notre and Del Rey Road are 38 and 43 MPH respectively. Therefore, a speed limit below 35 MPH cannot be justified. Our records indicate three (3) accidents within the last 12 months in the study area. These accidents were not speed related. This number translates to 0.6 accidents per million vehicle miles which is indicative of a low accident rate. Section 22358.5 "Downward Speed Zoning" of the CVC essentially states that conditions such as width, curvature, grade and surface conditions, or any other condition readily apparent to a driver does not require special downward speed zoning. Based on the data collected and the CVC and Caltrans Traffic Manual requirements and guidelines, the 35 MPH speed limit is appropriate and should be retained on Via Norte and Del Rey Road. In addition, posting of a lower speed limit in the Meadowview area would be an ineffective measure in controlling the speed since a lower speed limit would most likeely be ignored by the majority of the drivers and will not be enforceable by radar. AIm, in an effort to improve the traffic conditions in the Meadowview area, the City proposed to stripe a four (4) foot edgeline on both sides of Via Norte and Del Rey Road. The edge striping was intended to provide an appearance of a narrower roadway which could potentially reduce the speed, and to provide a paved area for the use of pedestrians and bicyclists. However, the proposed roadway edge striping was opposed by the Meadowview Homeowners Association and therefore, it was not implemented. It is staff's recommendation that these types of requests be discussed at the Meadowview Homeowners Association meetings and upon approval be forwarded to the City by the Association. FISCAL IMPACT: None A~ehment~ 1. Exhibit "A" - Location Map 2. Exhibit "B" - Selected CVC Seelions 1994 SURVEY k _, SPEED LIMIT STUDY EXHIBIT "A" LOCATION MAP- Traffic Manual TRAFFIC REGULATIONS 8-7 12-1988 they are a factor in the speed recommenda- tion or the point of termination of a speed Zone. · Accident rates for the zones involved. · Average daily traffic volume. · Location of traffic signals, signs and markings. · If the highway is divided, the linfits of zones for each direction of travel. · Plotted 8.~ percentfie and pace speeds at loca- tion taken showing speed profile. b. A report to the District Director shall: · State the reason for the initiation of speed zone survey. · Give recommendations and reasons therefor. · List the enforcetnent jurisdictions involved and the attitude of these officials. · Give the stationing or mileage at the begin- ning and at the end of each proposed zone and any intermediate equations. Ties must be given to readily identifiable physical features. In determining the speed litnit which is most ap- propriate to facilitate the orderly movetnent of traf- fic and is reasonable and safe. important factors are prevailing speeds, unexpected conditions. and acci- dent records. Speed li~aits should be established preCerably at or near the &5 percentfie speed, which is defined as that speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is moving. The 85 percentlie is often referred to as criti- cal speed. Pace speed is defined as the 10-mile incre- ment of speed containing the largest number of vehi- ties (See Figure 8-9) . The lower limit of the pace is plotted on the Speed Zone Survey Sheets as an aid in determining the proper zone limits. Speed limits higher than the 85 percentfie are not generally con- sidered reasonable and safe and litnits below the 8¢5 percentfie do not facilitate the orderly' movetnent of traffic. Speed linfits established on this basis conform to the consensus of those who drive highways as to what speed is reasonable aud safe, and are not de- /,endent on the judgenlent of one or a few individu. The basic speed law states that uo person shall drive Lit a speed greater than is reasonable or pru- dent. The majority of drivers comply with this law, and disregard regulations which they consider un- reasonable. It is only the top fringe of drivers that are roelined to be reckless and unreliable, or who have faulty judgernent and must be controlled by enforce- ment. Speed limits set at or slightly below the 85 perceotile speed provide law enibrcen~ent officers with a means of controlling the drivers who will not confi>rm to what the majority considers reasonable and prudent. Only when roadside develop~nent results m traffic conflicts and onusual conditious which are not readi- ly apparent to drivers, are speed limits somewhat below the Be5 percentfie warranted. Concurrence and support of enforcement officials are necessary for the successful operation of a re- stricted speed zone. Section 923~8.5 of the Vehicle Code states that it is the intent of the Legislature that physical conditions such as width, cnrvatnre, grade and surface condi- tions, or any other condition readily apparent to the driver. in the absence of other factors, would not require special downward speed zoning. Speed zones of less than half a mile and short tran- sition zones should be avoided. g. City and County Throogh Highways, Arttrials, Collector Roads and Local Streets. a. Introduction - This is a short method of speed zoning based on the premise that a reasonable speed limit is one that conforms to the actual behavior of the majority of motorists, and that by measuring motorists' speeds, one will he able to select a speed limit that is both reasonahle and effective. Other factors that need to be con- sidered are the most reeen.t two year accideut record, roadway design speed, safe st~'pping sight distance, ~up. erghouldgi- tions, profile coneintersection spac~'~"""'~g and~connn~ereial dri'Cqway chara(teris- tics, pedestrian traffic in the roadway without sidewalks, etc. In most situations, the short forin will be adequate, but the procedure nsed on State highways may be used at the option of the agency. ODetermination of Existing Speed Limits - These speeds will either be verified, increased or de- creased depending on the results of the investi- gation. Figures 8-3 and 8-4 show samples of data sheets which may be used to record speed ob- servations. Specific types of vehicles may he tal- lied by use of letter symbols in appropriate squares. iThe speed limit normally should be estah- Itsbed at the first five mile p~r hour incren~ent be_.~ the 85 percentlie speed. Howex:er, in matching existing conditions with the traffic safety needs of the coff~munity, en~.inccrin~ judgement may indicate the need for a further reduction of five miles per hour. The factors justifying such a further reduction ,-ll the same factors mentioned above. Whenex, :- such tots are considered to establish the speed limit, they should be documented on the speed zone survey or the aeeornpanying en~ineerm~ re- port. The Engineering aud Traffic Survey should contain sufficient information to document that the conditions of CVC Section~6,27. ha~?

BACKGROUND: Staff has been requested to iratall two (2) additional stop signs on Clubhouse Drive at Bayhill Drive which would make Ibis intersection an All-Way "Stop". Clubhouse Drive is a 40 foot wide residential sweet with a prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH. Bayhill Drive is a 36 foot wide residential street with a posted speed limit of 25 MPH. Exhibit "C" shows existing improvements at this intersection. The California Department of Transportation Traffic Manual identifies four (4) criteria for the consideration of multi-way "Stops" as identified in the City of Temecula "Stop" and Yield" Sign Warrant Policy. 1. Minimum Traffic Volumes The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches must average at least 500 vehicles per hour for any eight (8) hours of an average day; and The combined vehicle and pedestrian volume from the minor street or highway must average at least 200 units per hour for the same eight (8) hours, with an average delay to minor sU'eet vehicular Waffle of at least 20 second per vehicle during the maximum hour; but When the 85 percentlie approach speed of the major sweet traffic exceeds 40 MPH, the minimum vehicular warrant is 70 percent of the above requirements. An accident problem, as indicated by five (5) or more reported accidents within a twelve (12) month period of a type susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation. Such accidents include right- angle and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions. Where traffic signals are warranted and urgently needed, the multi-way stop may be an interim measure that can be installed quickly to eonwol waffle while arrangements are being made for the signal iestallatioes. 4. All locations are also analyzed for school area waffle conwol recommendations/warrants. Staff has collected speed and volume data and evaluated this location for installation of an "All-Way Stop" as requested. The following is a summary of the analysis. 1. a. The total vehicular volume entering this intersection during the busiest eight (8) hours averages 33 as compared to 500 needed to meet this portion of the warrant. See Exhibit "B" for 24 hour approach volumes. b. The vehicular volume from the minor street averages 11 during the same eight (8) hours as above, and the pedestrian volume is not sufficient to meet the 200 minimum vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street for the same eight (8) hours. 2. There have been no reported accidents susceptible to correction by "Stop" signs at this location within the last 12 month period. Since this intersection does not meet the wan'ants for installation of an All-Way "Stop", staff recommends that the request for an All-Way "Stop" installation be denied.

BACKGROUND: The City received a request to install two (2) additional stop signs on North General Kearny Road at Pauma Valley Road thereby establishing an All-Way "Stop" at this intersection. The request for an All-Way "Stop" is intended to slow the speed of vehicles on North General Kearny Road. North General Kearny Road, north of Nieolas Road is a 44 foot wide residential collector street with a posted speed limit of 25 MPH. This segment of North General Kearny Road is apparen~y being used by the residents of Silverhawk Development which is in the un-ineoq~orated area of the Riverside County. Currently, there is an existing "Stop" sign on Pauma Valley Road at North General Kearny Road. The speeding situation in this area has been investigated by staff in 1993 and 1996. The speed data collected in March of 1996 indicated an average speed of 28 MPH and the 851h percentile speed of 33 MPH on North General Kearny Road between Cross Creek Court and Golden Red Road. During this period the Temecula Police Department has utilized the mob'de radar trailer to increase the awareness of the drivers of the existing 25 MPH speed limit and has cited the speeding drivers. As many other residential streets within the City, an occasional high speed is not unusual in this area. On January 15, 1997 staff conducted volume counts to determine if this intersection meets the warrants for the installation of an All-Way "Stop" as requested. The California Department of Transportation Traffic Manual identifies four (4) criteria for the consideration of multi-way "Stops" as identified in the City of Temecula "Stop" and "Yield" Sign Warrant Policy. 1. Minimum Traffic Volumes The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from aH approaches must average at least 500 vehicles per hour for any eight (8) hours of an average day; and The combh'exi vehicle and pedestrian volume from the minor street or highway must average at least 200 units per hour for the same eight (8) hours, with an average delay to minor street vehicular traffic of at least 20 second per vehicle during the maximum hour; but When the 85 percenfile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 MPH, the minimum vehicular warrant is 70 percent of the above requirements. 2. An accident problem, as indicated by five (5) or more reported accidents within a twelve (12) month period of a type susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation. Such accidents include right- angle and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions. Where traffic signals are warranted and urgently needed, the multi-way stop may be an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the signal installations. 4. All localions are also analyzed for school area traffic control recommendations/warrants. The following is a summary of the warrant analysis. The total vehicular volume entering this intersection during the busiest eight (8) hours averages 130 as compared to 500 needed to meet this portion of the warrant. See Exhibit uB' for 24 hour approach volumes. The vehicular volume from the minor street averages seven (7') during the same eight (8) hours as above, and the pedestrian volume is not sufficient to meet the 200 minimum vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street for the same eight (8) hours. 2. There have been no reported accidents at this location within the last 12 month period. Since this intersection does not meet the warrants for installation of an All-Way uStop", staff recommends that the request for an All-Way "Stop" installation be denied and the use of radsr trailer and enforcement of the existing posted speed limit be continued.

BACKGROUND: The City received a request from the Rancho California Water District's (RCWD) Field Services Manager to restrict parking adjacent to the two (2) driveways to RCWD operations facility located at 42135 Winchester Road. W'mchester Road east of Diaz Road is a 80 foot wide four-lane divided road which is primarily an industrial area. Our field review revealed that occasionally large trucks park their trailers adjacent to the RCWD driveways over a relatively long period of time. The combination of parked hueks and curvature in the roadway restrict the visibility of the vehicles exiting these driveways. Therefore, it is recommended that parking be restricted adjacent to these driveways per attached Exhibit "B'. HSCAL IMPACT: 280 L.F. of red curb @ $.40 per L.F. = $112.00 TOTAL $112.00 1.

BACKGROUND: In order to enforce posted speed limits, an Engineering and Traffic Survey must be conducted within a five (5) year period per Section 40803(c) of the California Vehicle Code (CVC). In order to comply with the requirements of the CVC, the Engineering and Traffic surveys must periodically be updated. The Traffic Division has conducted Engineering and Traffic surveys to update the existing 45 MPIrl speed limit on Margarita Road between Raneho California Road and the south City Limits (SR 79(S)). Posted speed limits are primarily based on an analysis of prevailing speeds (851h percentfie), as measured in the field, accident history and roadway conditions. Section 627 of the CVC defines Engineering and Traffic Survey as follows: Engineering and Traffic Survey 627.(a) "Engineering and Waffle survey", as used in this code, means a survey of highway and traffic conditions in accordance with methods determined by the Department of Transportation for use by the state and local authorities. (b) An engineering and traffic survey shall include, among other requirements deemed necessary by the department, consideration of all of the following: (1) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements. (2) Accident records. (3) Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparem to the driver. 1. The following table is a summary of the March, 1996 speed survey and prevailing speeds.

Traffic or roadside conditions that are not readily apparent to the drivers were not observed on Margafita Road between Raneho California Road and SR 79(S). Therefore, the existing posted speed limit of 45 MPH should remain the same. FISCAL IMPACT: None Exhibit "A" - Location Map RANCHO CALIFORNIA ROAD RANCHC PAUBAROAD.

Part One Crime statistics are broken down by individual districts within the City, providing stable parameters for monitoring criminal activity, and alding in planning police resource deployment. The Police Department issued 512 traffic citations last month, which compares with 323 issued in December of 1995. The number of traffic collisions was identical to that reported last year. Temecula experienced one fatal traffic collision in December. This incident resulted in one arrest for felony driving under the influence. Arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol decreased slightly from December of 1995. Reported burglaries and robberies increased, while grand thefts, auto thefts and felony assaults decreased over last year. Arrests made during the month totalled 155, which compares with 154 during the same period last year. The Police Department responded to thirty "priority one" calls for sawice during the month of December, with an average response time of slightly under five minutes. A total of 2, 129 calls for police sewice were generated in the City of Temecula during the month. The Police Dcpartment's Special Enforcement Team made thirty-nine arrests for narcotics related offenses and served two search warrants last month. The Team seized methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana with an estimated street value exceeding fifty thousand dollars, and seized nearly five hundred dollars in cash. ~DPrsnted on Recycled Paper POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY December, 1996 During December, the Police Department' s two school resource officers made one felony arrest and one misdemeanor arrest. They had over one hundred contacts concerning student behavior and conduct, and submitted thirty-three reports that otherwise would have been assigned to patrol personnel. Overall activity level of the School Resource program was lower over the past thirty days, as the office~ serving Temecula' s dementary and middle school campuses was assigned to patrol duty for the month of December. The T emecula Police Department' s crime prevention officer conducted seventy-four business checks last month. One article titled, "Telephone Scares with Area Code 809" was written for the January edition of the Valley Business Journal. Temecula's Crime Prevention Officer also completed thirteen counter reports following citizen contact at the station. The Police Department's second "Operation ERACIT" checkpoint was implemented on Tuesday, December 31, 1996. Given that this checkpoint was operated on New Year's Eve, the Traffic Team was pleased with the results.
