HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: DOUGLAS S. STACK, ACTING DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 10-01 ESTABLISHING PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMITS ON CITY STREETS SUMMARY Adoption of Resolution No. 10-01 will establish speed limits on certain streets throughout the City of Tustin based upon an engineering and traffic survey as required by the California Vehicle Code. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 10-01 establishing Prima Facie Speed Limits on certain streets throughout the City of Tustin. FISCAL IMPACT Updating signs in accordance with adoption of Resolution No. 10-01 will cost approximately $7,250. Adequate funds are available in Engineering Division Account No. 01-402-6230 (Sign Maintenance and Striping). BACKGROUND Pursuant to the Califomia Vehicle Code (CVC), the City has the ability to establish prima facie speed limits on City streets on the basis of an engineering and traffic survey. CVC Section 627 indicates that an engineering and traffic survey needs to be conducted in accordance with methods deterrnined by the Califomia Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and shall include, among other requirements, consideration of all of the following: 1. Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements; 2. Accident records; and 3. Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver. Speed limit changes are due to changes in the public's driving characteristics, accident history of the segment, and conditions not readily apparent to drivers. Standard engineering procedures and methodologies consistent with CVC requirements have been used to conduct the current engineering and traffic survey. Adoption of Resolution No. 10-01 establishing speed limits based on this survey will allow continued use of radar or other electronic means for enforcement of posted speed limits by the Tustin Police Department. DISCUSSION The most recent citywide speed limits were established by Resolution No. 05-13 which was adopted by the City Council on January 17, 2005. The CVC requires that speed limits on City Resolution No.10-01 Establishing Prima Facie Speed Limits on City Streets January 19, 2010 Page 2 streets be justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted within five-year periods for police enforcement involving the use of radar or other electronic devices. This period may be extended to seven years for officers who have taken a 24-hour course for radar certification. The Tustin Police Department presently has eight certifi2d officers that have taken the 24- hour course and are available for radar enforcement. Thirty four additional officers will become available for radar enforcement when Resolution No. 10-01 is adopted. The Public Works Department/Engineering Division, with extensive input from the Tustin Police Department, has completed the "2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey' (attached) for the City of Tustin and used it as the basis for establishing speed limits for 132 street segments throughout the City. Resolution No. 10-01 (attached) recommends speed limits for all of the surveyed streets, most of which have not changed. Table 1 (attached) indicates recommended speed limit increases for 34 segments. One street segment in the survey (Park Avenue between Tustin Ranch Road and District Drive) is recommended for a reduction in speed. Of the 34 street segments with recommended increases in speed limits, 29 segments are increasing due to Caltrans Policy Directive No. 09-04 which became effective July 1, 2009. The directive requires recommended speed limits to be set at the nearest 5 mph increment above or below the critical (85~' percentile) speed. Previously, the recommended speeds were normally set at the nearest 5 mph increment below the critical speed. Speed limit increases could have been recommended on 26 other street segments based upon the speed surveys alone. However, conditions not readily apparent to motorists have been noted on these street segments as justification to retain the present posted speeds. Such conditions include accident rates, pedestrian/bicycle activity, design speeds, adjacent land uses, and continuity with speed limits posted on adjacent street segments. Adjacent jurisdictions concur with the recommended speed limits on streets of shared interest. With implementation of the speed limits recommended in Resolution No. 10-01, the Public Works Department and Police Department are confident that the enforcement of the posted speed limits by radar, or other electronic means, will be upheld in the courts, as they have been with the 2005 Engineering and Traffic Survey.

This Engineering and Traffic Survey presents recommended speed limits for 132 street segments in the City of Tustin. An Engineering and Traffic Survey is required by the State of California to establish intermediate speed limits on local streets and to enforce those limits using radar or other speed measuring devices. This Survey must be updated every 5 or 7 years to ensure the speeds reflect current conditions as dictated by the California Vehicle Code (CVC). The CVC also requires that the Survey be conducted based on the methodology required by The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) dated September 2006. The previous Citywide survey was approved in January 2005. The City requested the new survey for the proper posting of speed limits and to enable the Police Department to utilize radar or other electronic speed measuring devices for speed enforcement. The Engineering and Traffic Survey was conducted in accordance with procedures outlined in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) dated September 2006, Caltrans Policy Directive 09-04, and as required by Section 627 of the California Vehicle Code. ELEMENTS OF THE ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) dated September 2006 specifies the methodology to be used for completing an Engineering and Traffic Survey. This methodology includes an evaluation of current vehicle speeds, accident history and conditions not readily apparent to motorists. The three basic elements of the Engineering and Traffic Survey are measurement of prevailing speed, accident history, and conditions not readily apparent to motorists. The 85th percentile speed is the speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic travels. This threshold represents what is historically found to be a safe and reasonable speed for most drivers based on common roadway conditions. Therefore, a "basic speed limit" is established at the nearest 5-mile per hour (mph) increment to the 85th percentile speed. For example, if the 85th percentile speed is 48 mph, the basic speed limit is 50 mph. If the 85th percentile speed is 47 mph, the basic speed limit is 45 mph. Reported collisions are reviewed for each street segment to determine if there is a higher than average rate of collisions. A segment that has an above-average collision rate typically suggests conditions that are not readily apparent to motorists. Each street segment is field inspected to identify roadway conditions that may not be readily apparent to motorists. A determination is made whether any conditions are significant and warrant the recommendation of setting the speed limit 5 mph below the basic speed limit. Willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 17398/3001/01-460 1 City of Tustin It should be noted that State of California requirements for determining speed limits have changed since the previous Engineering and Traffic Survey was conducted, and this has resulted in higher recommended speed limits on many of the City streets. Previously, speed limits in California were set at the nearest 5 mph increment below the critical speed (85th percentile speed). The speed limit could be lowered an additional 5 mph if there was a high collision rate or conditions not readily apparent to motorists were present. Therefore, the speed limit was set below the critical speed, by as much as 10 mph. Previously, a critical speed of 38, 39 or even 40 mph would result in a speed limit of 35 mph, with the possibility of it being lowered to 30 mph. Currently, these critical speeds would result in speed limits of 40 mph, with the possibility of being reduced to no lower than 35 mph. SURVEY CONDITIONS Survey locations were selected based on minimum stop sign and traffic signal influence, minimum visibility restrictions, non-congested traffic flow away from intersections and driveways, and minimum interference from curves or other roadway conditions that would affect the normal operation of a vehicle. Data was collected reflecting existing conditions, including the prevailing speed of vehicles, traffic collisions, visibility restrictions, and roadway conditions within the community. Speed data and field reviews were conducted at 132 locations during the months of August and September 2009. Collision data for each segment for the latest 3 years of reported accidents was obtained from the City's electronic database. Daily traffic volumes, collected in 2008, were provided by the City of Tustin. The collision rate in collisions per million vehicle miles (Col/MVM) was calculated for each segment, using the number of collision, the daily traffic volumes and the segment lengths. The collision rates were compared to the statewide average for similar roadways to determine if the segments had greater than normal collision rates. The field review of each segment also noted pedestrian/bicycle activity, roadway geometrics, the frequency of intersections, driveways and on-street parking, location of traffic control devices, visibility obstructions, land use and proximity to schools and parks, speed limits of adjacent segments in neighboring jurisdictions, and any other conditions not readily apparent to the driver. ANALYSIS & RESULTS The 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey included 13 new/modified street segments in and around Tustin Legacy, that were not previously surveyed in 2005. Interim speed limits had been posted on most of the new street segments, based on engineering judgment. The survey data for the 132 segments was compiled and analyzed to determine the recommended speed limit for each segment, in accordance with the critieria contained in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), dated September 2006, and in Caltrans Policy Directive 09-04. The criteria included the 85th percentile speed, the 10 mph pace speed, the collision rate and conditions not readily apparent to the Willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 17398/3001/01-460 2 City of Tustin motorist. Figure 1 (at the end of this section) illustrates all of the recommended speed limits, including the new segments, on a City map and indicates the recommended changes. Of the 132 surveyed segments, 34 segments are recommended for an increase in the posted speed limit. It should be noted that the speed limits for 29 of these 34 segments are being increased directly as a result of the new Caltrans Policy Directive No. 09-04. Three segments are recommended to have a speed limit greater than the basic speed limit in order to preserve continuity. A lower speed limit is recommended for one segment, which is one of the new street segments with an interim speed limit based on engineering judgment. Based on the review of special conditions, 26 of the surveyed segments have recommended speed limits that are 5 mph below where it would normally be set due to the 85th percentile speed. The speed limits were lowered for these 26 segments due to conditions not readily apparent to the drivers. The special conditions justifying the modified speed limits are provided for each segment. LEGISLATIVE AND CALTRANS REFERENCES Applicable sections of the California Vehicle Code and California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices are provided in the report. These include the basic speed law, prima facie speed limits, the increase of local speed limits, downward speed zoning, speed traps, and the requirements of an Engineering and Traffic Survey.

This Engineering and Traffic Survey presents recommended speed limits for 132 street segments in the City of Tustin. An Engineering and Traffic Survey is required by the State of California to establish intermediate speed limits on local streets and to enforce those limits using radar or other speed measuring devices. This Survey must be updated every 5 or 7 years to ensure the speeds reflect current conditions as dictated by the California Vehicle Code (CVC). The CVC also requires that the Survey be conducted based on the methodology required by The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) dated September 2006. The survey was requested by the City for the proper posting of speed limits and to enable the Police Department to utilize radar or other electronic speed measuring devices for speed enforcement. CVC Sections 40801 and 40802 require that an Engineering and Traffic Survey verify the prima facie speed limit before enforcement by such a device is legal. The law further specifies that these surveys be conducted every 5 years. The surveys can be extended to 7 years provided the City's police officer(s) have completed a 24-hour radar operator course [CVC 40802(c)(2)(B)(i)(I)]. Additionally, some surveys may be extended to 10 years if a traffic engineer certifies that no changes in roadway or traffic conditions have occurred [CVC 40802 (c)(2)(B)(i)(II)]. These provisions assure that posted speed limits are kept reasonably current. The Engineering and Traffic Survey for the City was conducted in accordance with procedures outlined in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) dated September 2006 and as required by Section 627 of the California Vehicle Code. The Code further describes three elements of an Engineering and Traffic Survey: 1. Prevailing speed as determined by traffic engineering measurements 2. Collision records 3. Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver Posted speed limits are established primarily to protect the general public from the reckless and unpredictable behavior of dangerous drivers. They provide law enforcement with a clearly understood method of identifying and apprehending violators of the basic speed law (CVC Section 22350). This law states that "No person shall drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property." The posted speed limit gives motorists a clear warning of the maximum speed that is reasonable and prudent under typical driving conditions. Willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 1739813001/01-460 5 City of Tustin The basic fundamentals for establishing speed limits recognize that the majority of drivers behave in a safe and reasonable manner, and therefore, the normally careful and competent actions of a reasonable driver should be considered legal. Speed limits established on these fundamentals conform to the consensus that those who drive the highway determine what speed is reasonable and safe, not on the judgment of one or a few individuals. A radar speed study is usually used to record the prevailing speed of reasonable drivers. Speed limits are also established to advise drivers of conditions which may not be readily apparent to a reasonable driver. For this reason, accident history, roadway conditions, traffic characteristics, and land use must also be analyzed before determining speed limits. Speed limit changes are usually made in coordination with physical changes in roadway conditions or roadside developments. Unusually short zones of less than one-half mile in length should be avoided to reduce driver confusion. Additionally, it is generally accepted that speed limits cannot be successfully enforced without voluntary compliance by a majority of drivers. Consequently, only the driver whose behavior is clearly out of line with the normal flow of traffic is usually targeted for enforcement. ELEMENTS OF THE ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) dated September 2006 specifies the methodology to be used for completing an Engineering and Traffic Survey. This methodology includes an evaluation of current vehicle speeds, accident history and conditions not readily apparent to motorists. The basic elements of the Engineering and Traffic Survey are discussed in more detail as follows: Measurement of Prevailing Speed Existing vehicle speeds are surveyed by a certified radar operator with a calibrated radar unit in an unmarked vehicle. Speed samples are taken for each segment representing a statistically significant sample of current traffic. This data is then evaluated to identify the distribution of speeds. A key element in the evaluation is the identification of the 85th percentile speed. The 85~h percentile speed is the speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic travels. This threshold represents what is historically found to be a safe and reasonable speed for most drivers based on common roadway conditions. Therefore, a "basic speed limit" is established at the nearest 5-mile per hour (mph) increment to the 85th percentile speed. For example, if the 85th percentile speed is 48 mph, the basic speed limit is 50 mph. If the 85th percentile speed is 47 mph, the basic speed limit is 45 mph. Accident History Reported collisions are reviewed for each street segment to determine if there is a higher than average rate of collisions. A segment that has an above-average collision rate typically suggests conditions that are not readily apparent to motorists. Willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 17398/3001/01-460 6 City of Tustin A summary of the collision rates for the 132 surveyed street segments is provided in Appendix B. Conditions Not Readily Apparent To Motorists Each street segment is field inspected to identify roadway conditions that may not be readily apparent to motorists. A determination is made whether any conditions are significant and warrant the recommendation of setting the speed limit 5 mph below the basic speed limit. It is important to note that The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) dated September 2006 recommends exercising great care when establishing speed limits 5 mph below the basic speed limit. RECENT CHANGES TO THE ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY It should be noted that State of California requirements for determining speed limits have changed since the previous Engineering and Traffic Survey was conducted, and this has resulted in higher recommended speed limits on a substantial number of the City streets. Previously, speed limits in California were set at the nearest 5 mph increment below the critical speed (85th percentile speed). The speed limit could be lowered an additional 5 mph if there was a high collision rate or conditions not readily apparent to motorists were present. Therefore, the speed limit was set below the critical speed, by as much as 10 mph. As previously noted, the CA MUTCD now requires that the speed limit be set at the nearest critical speed, either below or above it, with the possibility of lowering the speed limit 5 mph for the reasons noted above. For example, previously, a critical speed of 38, 39 or even 40 mph would result in a speed limit of 35 mph, with the possibility of it being lowered to 30 mph. Currently, these critical speeds would result in speed limits of 40 mph, with the possibility of being lowered to 35 mph. The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) dated September 2006 specifies the methodology to be used for completing an Engineering and Traffic Survey. This methodology includes an evaluation of current vehicle speeds, accident history and conditions not readily apparent to motorists. The basic elements of the Engineering and Traffic Survey are discussed in more detail as follows: Willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 17398/3001101-460 7 City of Tustin SURVEY CONDITIONS SURVEY LOCATIONS The procedures described below describe the criteria and methods used to survey selected streets within the City of Tustin. The specific location of the radar speed survey for each street segment was selected after considering the following: 1. Minimum stop sign and traffic signal influence 2. Minimum visibility restrictions 3. Non-congested traffic flow away from intersections and driveways 4. Minimum influence from curves or other roadway conditions that would affect the normal operation of a vehicle DATA COLLECTION Data regarding the existing conditions was collected, including the prevailing speed of vehicles, traffic collisions, visibility restrictions, and roadway conditions within the community. Speed data and field reviews were conducted at 132 locations during the months of August and September 2009. Speed Data Radar speed measurements were conducted at 132 locations during August 2009. All surveys were conducted in good weather conditions, during off-peak hours on weekdays. The radar unit was operated from an unmarked vehicle to minimize any influence on driver behavior. Typically, a minimum sample size of 100 vehicles or the total samples during a maximum period of 2 hours were obtained for each segment. Traffic speeds in both directions were recorded for individual segments and separate surveys were made for divided roadways. Collision Data Collision data was obtained from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Record System (SWITRS) which is an electronic collision database. For this study, collision data was used from the latest three years of reported accidents, from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2008. The collision rates for the 132 segments are expressed in accidents per million vehicle miles (A/MVM). Daily traffic volumes, collected in 2008, were provided by the City of Tustin. This information was then entered into the following formula to determine the collision rate: R= Ax1,000,000 tx365 days xlxv year Willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 17398/3001/01-460 8 City of Tustin Where: R =Collision Rate (accidents/million vehicle miles) A =Number of midblock collisions over time period t =Time Period Covered (in years) I =Length of Segment (miles) v =Traffic Volume (average daily traffic) The segment collision rate was then compared to the average statewide collision rate for similar roadways. The latest available average statewide collision rates were obtained from 2007 Collision Data on California State Highways, published by the State of California. Field Review Data A field review was conducted for each of the selected street segments in the City with consideration for the following factors: 1. Street width and alignment (design speed) 2. Pedestrian activity and traffic flow characteristics 3. Number of lanes and other channelization and striping patterns 4. Frequency of intersections, driveways, and on-street parking 5. Location of stop signs and other regulatory traffic control devices 6. Visibility obstructions 7. Land use and proximity to schools 8. Pedestrian and bicycle usage 9. Uniformity with existing speed zones and those in adjacent jurisdictions 10. Any other unusual condition not readily apparent to the driver Willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 17398/3001/01-460 9 City of Tustin ANALYSIS & RESULTS ANALYSIS Survey data was compiled and analyzed to determine the recommended speed limit in accordance with several criteria contained in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) dated September 2006. Some of the criteria used were: A. The critical speed or 85th percentile speed is that speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is moving. This speed is the baseline value in determining what the majority of drivers believe is safe and reasonable. Speed limits set much higher than the critical speed are not considered reasonable and safe. Speed limits set much lower than the critical speed make a large number of reasonable drivers "unlawful," and do not facilitate the orderly flow of traffic. The "basic speed limit" is the 5 mph increment closest to the 85'h percentile speed. B. The 10 mile per hour (mph) pace speed is the 10 mph increment that contains the highest percentage of vehicles. It is a measure of the dispersion of speeds across the range of the samples surveyed. An accepted practice is to keep the speed limit within the 10 mph pace while considering the critical speed and other factors that might indicate a speed lower than the critical speed. C. The collision rate for each street segment is compared to average collision rates that can be reasonably expected to occur on similar streets and highways in other jurisdictions, in proportion to the volume of traffic per lane mile. These average collision rates have been developed by the State of California and are considered reasonable for use in the City of Tustin. NEW STREET SEGMENTS Subsequent to the 2005 Engineering and Traffic Surrey, several new street segments in the City of Tustin have been constructed or modified in and around Tustin Legacy, which was formerly occupied by the Tustin Marine Corp Air Station. This has resulted in the addition of the 13 new/modified street segments listed below since the last Engineering and Traffic Survey was performed. Since another Engineering and Traffic Survey was due, interim speed limit signs were posted on most of the new road segments, with the speed limits based on engineering judgment. 1. Tustin Ranch Road from Warner Avenue to Park Avenue 2. Tustin Ranch Road from Park Avenue to Barranca Parkway 3. Park Avenue from Warner Avenue to District Drive 4. Park Avenue from District Drive to Tustin Ranch Road 5. Warner Avenue from Tustin Ranch Road to Park Avenue 6. Valencia Avenue from Newport Avenue to Red Hill Avenue Willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 1739813001/01-460 10 City of Tustin 7. Valencia Avenue from Red Hill Avenue to Armstrong Road/Severyns Road 8. Valencia Avenue from Armstrong Road/Severyns Road to Kensington Park Drive 9. Kensington Park Drive from Valencia Avenue to Edinger Avenue 10. Newport Avenue from Edinger Avenue to Del Amo Avenue/SR-55 Ramps 11. Newport Avenue from Del Amo Avenue/SR-55 Ramps to Valencia Avenue 12. Del Amo Avenue from Edinger Avenue to Newport Avenue/SR-55 Ramps (replaces the segment from Edinger Avenue to Valencia Avenue since Del Amo Avenue no longer extends to Valencia Avenue and now terminates at Newport Avenue/SR-55 Ramps) RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Legislature, in adopting Section 22358.5 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC), has made it clear that physical conditions, such as width, curvature, grade and surtace conditions, or any other condition readily apparent to a driver, in the absence of other factors, would not be the basis for special downward speed zoning. In these cases, the basic speed law (CVC Section 22350) is sufficient to regulate such conditions. The recommendations contained in this Report are intended to establish prima facie speed limits. They are not intended to be absolute for all prevailing conditions. All prima facie speed violations are actually violations of the basic speed law (Section 22350 of California Vehicle Code). This statute states that a person shall not drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is safe having regard for traffic, roadway, and weather conditions. A prima facie limit is intended to establish a maximum safe speed under normal conditions. The Engineering and Traffic Survey Forms (Appendix A) illustrate the results of a thorough evaluation of the available data, and recommend a speed limit for each street segment surveyed. Table 1 (at the end of this section) summarizes the results and recommendations for all 132 surveyed segments. The recommended speed limit for each segment is consistent with the prevailing behavior as demonstrated by the radar speed measurements. Typically, a speed limit in the upper range of the 10-mile pace was selected unless a collision rate significantly higher than expected was discovered or roadway conditions not readily apparent to the driver were identified. Any segments with recommended speed limits 5 mph below or above the basic speed limit are fully explained later in this section. Of the 132 surveyed segments, 34 segments are recommended for an increase in the posted speed limit, as listed in Table 2 (at the end of this section). Table 2 also indicates the 29 segments having increased speed limits due to the new Caltrans Policy Directive No. 09-04. Three segments are recommended to have a speed limit greater than the basic willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 17398/3001/01-460 11 City of Tustin speed limit in order to preserve continuity with adjacent street segments (two within adjacent jurisdictions). These three segments are Prospect Avenue from Anglin Lane (North City Limit with Orange County) to 17th Street, 17th Street from SR-55 (West City Limit with Santa Ana) to Yorba Street North, and Yorba Street from 17th Street to Jacaranda Avenue, as identified in Table 1. A lower speed limit is recommended for one street segment, Park Avenue from District Drive to Tustin Ranch Road. This segment is one of the new street segments within Tustin Legacy, with an interim posted speed limit based on engineering judgment unconfirmed by an Engineering and Traffic Survey. SEGMENTS WITH SPECIAL CONDITIONS The 132 street segments were reviewed through a field inspection to identify whether conditions not readily apparent to motorists exist. Conditions not readily apparent to motorists include high accident rates; the design speed of the road; continuity between speed zones; on-street parking on relatively narrow streets that could block the view of pedestrians crossing the street or block the sight distance of motorists entering the roadway from cross streets or driveways, and high-activity land uses adjacent to the road. The presence of pedestrians and/or bicycles is also recognized by California law as a reason for setting the speed limit 5 mph below the basic speed limit. A determination was made whether these conditions are present and significant enough to warrant recommending the speed limit to be placed at five mph below the basic speed limit. It is important to note that the State of California recommends exercising great care when establishing speed limits more than 5 mph below the 85th percentile speed. Based on the review of special conditions, 26 surveyed street segments have recommended speed limits that are 5 miles per hour (mph) below the basic speed limit, due to conditions not readily apparent to the drivers. The special conditions justifying the modified speed limits are discussed below for each of these segments. Segment #12: Centennial Way -First Street to Main Street This segment is currently posted at 25 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction, with an ADT of 4,894 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is commercial, with some residential, and the City of Tustin's Civic Center. The critical speed is 29 mph, which would normally justify a 30 mph posted speed limit. However, due to the high number of pedestrians, on-street-parking, and numerous driveways, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 25 mph for the reasons given above. Segment #30: First Street -Centennial Way to Newport Avenue This segment is currently posted at 35 mph and has 2 through lanes in each direction, with an ADT of 14,393 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is a mix of commercial and office park. The critical speed is 39 mph, which would normally justify a 40 mph posted speed limit. However, due to the heavy cross-traffic, a moderate number of pedestrians, a bus layover area, and a high density of driveways, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 35 mph for the reasons given above. Willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 17398!3001/01-460 12 City of Tustin Segment #31: First Street -Newport Avenue to Charloma Drive This segment is currently posted at 30 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction with an ADT of 4,688 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is a mix of commercial and residential. The critical speed is 33 mph, which would normally justify a 35 mph posted speed limit. However, due to the high density of driveways and the difficulty in exiting the driveways due to sight distance, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 30 mph for the reasons given above. Segment #36: Holt Avenue - N/O Warren Avenue (North City Limit) to Irvine Blvd. This segment is currently posted at 40 mph and has 2 through lanes in each direction, with no left turn pockets, and an ADT of 7,641 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is residential. The critical speed is 43 mph, which would normally justify a 45 mph posted speed limit. However, due to high number of pedestrians and bicyclists, the uncontrolled school crosswalk at Warren Ave., the on-street-parking, the heavy concentration of driveways and street intersections, and to maintain continuity with the adjacent segment in the County of Orange, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 40 mph for the reasons given above. Segment #38: Irvine Boulevard -State Route 55 (West City Limit) to Prospect Ave. This segment is currently posted at 40 mph and has 3 through lanes in each direction with an ADT of 26,148 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is commercial. The critical speed is 43 mph, which would normallyjustify a 45 mph posted speed limit. However, due to bus stops, pedestrian and bicycle usage, and a heavy concentration of driveways, and to maintain continuity with the posted speed limit of 40 mph on the adjacent street segment in the City of Santa Ana, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 40 mph for the reasons given above. Segment #48: Jamboree Road -Champion Way to Irvine Boulevard This segment is currently posted at 50 mph and has 3 through lanes in each direction with an ADT of 22,215 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is residential (none fronting). The critical speed is 53 mph, which would normally justify a 55 mph posted speed limit. However, due to the sports park adjacent to the road and to maintain continuity with the adjacent roadway segments, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 50 mph for the reasons given above. Segment #52: Keller Drive -Robinson Drive to Jamboree Road This segment is currently posted at 30 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction with an ADT of 2,000 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is residential. The critical speed is 33 mph, which would normallyjustify a 35 mph posted speed limit. However, due to the high number of pedestrians, elementary school drop-offs, heavy on-street parking and sports activities in the adjacent sports park, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 30 mph for the reasons given above. Willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 17398/3001/01-460 13 City of Tustin Segment #55: Main Street -Williams Street to Myrtle Avenue This segment is currently posted at 30 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction with an ADT of 9,222 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is residential (none fronting), private school and church. The critical speed is 35 mph, which would normally justify a 35 mph posted speed limit. However, due to heavy on-street parking and reduced sight distance related to the Main Street undercrossing/overcrossing of the I-5 and SR-55 Freeways, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 30 mph for the reasons given above. Segment #56: Main Street -Myrtle Avenue to Prospect Avenue This segment is currently posted at 30 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction with an ADT of 9,222 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is residential area. The critical speed is 34 mph, which would normallyjustify a 35 mph posted speed limit. However, due to a high number of pedestrians, heavy on-street parking, its location in the downtown Central Business District, and a high concentration of driveways, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 30 mph for the reasons given above. Segment #64: Mitchell Avenue -Red Hill Avenue to Browning Avenue This segment is currently posted at 30 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction with an ADT of 5,983 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is residential area. The critical speed is 33 mph, which would normally justify a 35 mph posted speed limit. However, due to the high number of pedestrians and heavy density of on-street parking and driveways, a lower speed limit would be prudent.

Segment #70: Newport Avenue -Bryan Avenue to EI Camino Real This segment is currently posted at 35 mph and has 2 through lanes in each direction with a raised median and left turn pockets, and an ADT of 27,344 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is primarily retail commercial with multi-family residential. A high school, an elementary school, and two pre-schools are also located one block to the east of Newport Avenue. The critical speed is 38 mph, which would normally justify a 40 mph posted speed limit. However, due to the moderate number of pedestrians (including school children) and the heavy concentration of driveways, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 35 mph for the reasons given above. Segment #71: Newport Avenue - EI Camino Real to Sycamore Avenue This segment is currently posted at 35 mph and has 2 through lanes in each direction with a two-way left turn lane, and an ADT of 26,990 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is retail commercial and multi-family residential, with a hospital medical center and a pre- school. The critical speed is 38 mph, which would normallyjustify a 40 mph posted speed limit. However, due to the medical center, moderate number of pedestrians (including school children) and the heavy concentration of driveways, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 35 mph for the reasons given above. willdan Engineering 2010 Engineering and Traffic Survey 17398/3001101-460 14 City of Tustin Segment #75: Nisson Road -Pasadena Avenue to B Street This segment is currently posted at 35 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction, with no left turn pockets, and an estimated ADT of 4,000 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use ismulti-family residential (none fronting) on one side and Interstate 5 on the other side. The critical speed is 38 mph, which would normally justify a 40 mph posted speed limit.

The adjacent land use is residential, with an elementary school and a middle school present. The critical speed is 36 mph, which would normally justify a 35 mph posted speed limit. However, due to the high number of pedestrians, the schools, heavy on-street parking and high concentration of driveways, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 30 mph for the reasons given above. Segment #119: Valencia Avenue -Red Hill Ave. to Armstrong Avenue/Severyns Rd. This segment is currently posted at 40 mph and has 2 through lanes in each direction with an ADT of 3,300 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is educational and park. The critical speed is 48 mph, which would normally justify a 50 mph posted speed limit. However, due to the moderate density of driveways and the presence of sidewalks and bicycle lanes, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit be posted at 45 mph for the reasons given above. Segment #120: Valencia Avenue -Armstrong Ave./Severyns Road to Kensington Park Dr. This segment is currently posted at 40 mph and has 2 through lanes in each direction with an ADT of 3,400 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is a residential area (none fronting on north side), and the abandoned Marine Corps Air Station on the south side. The critical speed is 49 mph, which would normally justify a 50 mph posted speed limit. However, in order to maintain continuity with the adjacent roadway segments, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit be posted at 45 mph for the reasons given above. Segment #127: Williams Street -Main Street to McFadden Avenue This segment is currently posted at 30 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction with an ADT of 6,289 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is a residential area (none fronting) with an elementary school. The critical speed is 33 mph, which would normally justify a 35 mph posted speed limit. However, due to the high number of pedestrians, on- streetparking with a moderate driveway density, a lower speed limit would be prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 30 mph for the reasons given above.

All other formatting as defined under the Definitions section of this Policy Directive is still applicable. 'The following policies shall be included in the California MUTCD: Section 2B.13 Speed Limit Sign (1t2-1) Support.• The setting of speed limits can be controversial and requires a rational and defensible determination to maintain public confidence. Speed limits are normally set near the 85th percentile speed that statistically represents one .standard deviation above the average speed and establishes the tipper limit of what is considered reasonable and prudent. As with most laws, speed limits need to depend on the voluntary compliance of'the greater majority of motorists. Speed limits cannot be set arbitrarily low, as this would create violators of the majority of drivers and would not command the respect ojthe public. Standard: After an engineering and traffic survey (E&TS) stab has been made in accordance with established traffic engineering practices, the Speed Limit (R2-1) sign (see Figure 2B-1) shall display the limit established by law, ordinance, regulation, or as adopted by the authorized agency. The speed limits shown shall he in multiples of 10 km/h err (5 mph). Guidance: At least once every 5 7 or 10 years in compliance with Cl~C Section 40802. States and local agencies should reevaluate non-statutory speed limits on segments of their roadways that have undergone a significant change in roadway characteristics or surrounding land use since the last review.

Willdan Engineering 44 Engineering & Traffic Survey 17398/3001/01-460 City of Tustin STATE OF CALIFORNIA• llEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION POLICY DIRECTIVE TR-001 I (REV 9/2006) Page 4 of 7 BACKGROUND 'I'tIe purpose of this directive is to implement the changes proposed in the Decision Document entitled "Guidelines for Setting Speed Limits" signed on May 15, 2009 by Director Will Kempton. This Decision Document was the result of many discussions about speed limit concerns held before the California Traffic Control Devices Committee (CTCDC) since June of 2007. During these discussions, many comments were received from local agencies and their officials representing law enforcement, public works, and the court system. A special hearing was held on March l9, 2009 and was attended by the Director and the Califomia Highway Patrol Commissioner. The purpose of this hearing was to bring closure to this discussion before the Director issued his Decision Document. After reviewing the concerns expressed by various participants involved with setting and enforcing speed limits, Caltrans determined there was a lack of consistency in the analysis and process that documents Engineering and Traffic Surveys to establish rational and enforceable speed limits. In 2004, the California Supplement to the 2003 Federal MUTCD changed the procedure setting speed limits used previously in the 1996 Caltrans Traftc Manual. These changes were made to bring California into compliance with the Federal MUTCD at that time, but the California Supplement included the option to allow a mph reduction from the nearest increment of the 85`h percentile speed. The changes are summarized below: 1996 Traffic Manual: The speed limit normally should be established at the first five mile per hour (mph) increment below the 85`b percentile speed. However, in matching existing conditions with the traffic safety needs of the community, engineering judgment may indicate the need for a further reduction of five mph. MUTCD 2003 (Federal Guidance, does not allow Smph reduction): Guidance: When a speed limit is to be posted, it should be within 10 km/h or 5 mph of the 85`h percentile speed of free- flowing traffic. Mav 2004 CA Supplement: Guidance: When a speed limit is to be posted, it should be established at the nearest 10 km/h or 5 mph increment of the 85~' percentile speed offree-flowing traffic. ()ptian: The posted speed may be reduced by 10 km/h (5 mph) from the nearest 10 km/h or 5 mph increment of the 85°i percentile speed, where engineering study indicates the need for a reduction in speed to match existing conditions with the traffic safety needs of the community.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION POLICY DIRECTIVE TR-0OI 1 (REV 912006) Pagc 5 of ~ SPEED LIMITS SET WITH 2004 CHANGES After applying the "nearest Smph increment of the 85`h percentile speed" criteria, many speed limits were being raised after the 2004 change in the California MUTCD speed limit procedures. Some agencies would then simply apply the 5 mph reduction to keep the speed limit at the same level or lower. Also, appropriate justification was not written up in the E&'fS for many of these speed zones and speeding tickets were not upheld in court ifthe presiding ot~cial saw a speed limit set below the 85'b percentile speed. PROCEDURE AF`fER JULY 1, 2009 This directive clarifies the procedure for setting speed limits to address the issues discussed above. The two new standazds for Section 2B.13 of the Califomia MUTCD will be implemented to clarify the process and to help set speed limits that are uniform, rational and enforceable with full support of the judicial system. Requirements of the new standards are shown below: • The speed limit shall be established at the nearest Smph increment of the 85~' percentile. • If the 5 mph reduction is applied, the E&TS shall document in writing the conditions and justification for the reduced speed limit and be approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer. ONE YEAR TRIAL and DATA COLLECTION In order to evaluate any impacts of the new standards, the following data needs to be collected and evaluated over the next twelve months (from E&TS's completed between July 1, 2009 and July 1, 2010): • Jurisdiction and Location identification • Existing posted speed limit • 85`h percentile speed limit • 50`~ percentile speed limit • 10-mph pace (the speed range that includes the most vehicles surveyed) • List of reasons for applying a 5 mph reduction (if used) • New posted speed limit This information should be sent to Caltrans at the following a-mail address: roberta.mclauahlin(c%,dot.ca.~,ov The data will be reviewed for trends in the posting of new speed limits. After July 1, 2010 this information will be presented to the Caltrans Director, CHP Commissioner and the CTCDC for consideration to make additional changes to the policy for setting speed limits in Califomia.

DEPARTMh-NT OF T[L'\NSPORTATION POLICY DIRECTIVE TR-001 I (REV 9/2006) Page 6 of'7 ENGINEERING AMID TRAFFIC SURVEY WORKSHOPS The Director's Decision Document also states that Caltrans will develop an E&TS training program for engineers, enforcement personnel, and judiciary ol~icials. Specific workshop topics will include: • Conducting an Engineering and Traffic Survey • Selecting locations for speed data collection • Items to be included in the E&TS written report • Documenting reasons for applying the 5 mph reduction • Presenting findings to local government officials • [Jsing the E&TS to review speeding citations challenged in court Workshops will beheld in each of the l2 Caltrans District Offices and will be scheduled over the next 6 months. Workshop location, contact information and dates will be posted on the Office of Signs, Markings and External Support web site: http:/iwww.dot. ca.);ov~hg/traffopsisigrrtech/ SPEED LIMIT IMPACTS ON YELLOW SIGNAL TIMING [n the California MUTCD, Section 4D.10 -Yellow Change and Red Clearance Intervals, the Standard states that the yellow light change interval shall be set using the posted speed limit. When the posted speed limit is set below the 85`h percentile speed as a result of a new E&TS, there may be a need to re-evaluate the length of time given to the yellow signal phase. Consideration should be given to use the 85`b percentile speed to increase the yellow light change interval, as allowed by the option in the California MUTCD. An increase change of 5 mph or greater in the posted speed limit should result in the relocation of traffic signal vehicle detectors. "I'lre revision of the California MUTCD is a common practice based upon need. The Department, pursuant to CVC Section 21400; must conduct public hearings before it can revise existing traffic control device policies and approve new signs for use on public roadways. The California Traffic Control Devices Committee (CTCDC) is the forum used to satisfy this requirement. The Federal highway Administration has reviewed the proposed modifications to the California MUTCD and has determined that they are in substantial compliance with the National MUTCD. This policy will be retired when it is incorporated in the next revision of the California MUTCD.
