Public Hearing: Review of Engineering Survey Results and Establishment of Speed Limits for Dublin Boulevard, Central Parkway, Fallon Road and Lockhart Street Prepared By: Jaimee Bourgeois, Senior Civi/ Engineer (Traffic) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This item seeks City Council approval to introduce a proposed ordinance which would establish, based on the findings of engineering and traffic surveys, new speed limits of 45 mph on Dublin Boulevard between Tassajara Road and Fallon Road, 35 mph on Central Parkway between Tassajara Road and Fallon Road, 45 mph on Fallon Road between South City Limit and Bent Tree Drive, and 30 mph on Lockhart Street between Dublin Boulevard and Gleason Drive. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to install new speed limit signs on the four roadways is approximately $2,000. This can be covered by the Street Maintenance Operating Budget. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, waive the reading and introduce the ordinance amending the Dublin Traffic Code to establish a new speed limit on portions of Dublin Boulevard (Tassajara Road to Fallon Road), Central Parkway (Tassajara Road to Fallon Road), Fallon Road (South City Limit to Bent Tree Drive) and Lockhart Street (Dublin Boulevard to Gleason Drive). 6 y _ l %/ {~ Submitted By eviewe B Public Works Director Assistant City Manager Page 1 of 4 ITEM NO. ~V • I DESCRIPTION: Backqround The California Vehicle Code (CVC) provides that police may use radar for speed enforcement as long as certain criteria are met. For roadways that are defined as local roads on the federal roadway classification map or, if not shown on that map, roads that are (1) not more than 40 feet in width, (2) not more than one half mile of uninterrupted length, and (3) not more than one traffic lane in each direction, a prima facie 25 mph speed limit may be used without performing a survey. For all other roadways, an engineering and traffic survey (E&TS) is required to establish a speed limit that can be enforced by means of radar. The four roadways under consideration include Dublin Boulevard between Tassajara Road and Fallon Road, Central Parkway befinreen Tassajara Road and Fallon Road, Fallon Road between South City Limit and Bent Tree Drive and Lockhart Street between Dublin Boulevard and Gleason Drive (Attachment 1). These roadway segments are relatively new for which the federal roadway classification map has not yet been updated to reflect the appropriate classification. Each should be classified as either Collector or Arterial; therefore, an E&TS is required for each to establish an appropriate speed limit that is enforceable by means of radar. This staff report discusses the results of the E&TS and the recommended new speed limits for each roadway. Because these are relatively new roadways, E&TS have not yet been completed; therefore, none yet have legal enforceable speed limits. Procedure for Establishinq a Speed Limit The operative criterion determined by an E&TS is the "85t" percentile" or "critical" speed. This figure is based on the belief that most drivers will drive at a speed that is safe and reasonable for conditions. In a sampling of speeds that are taken by radar, 85% of drivers are traveling at the 85t" percentile speed or lower. Speed limits are to be set at the nearest 5 mph increment to the critical speed. The second part of the E&TS includes an analysis of the roadway to determine whether there are any offsetting factors such as residential density, pedestrian and bicycle features, intersecting driveways, accident history, schools, and so forth, which would cause the recommended speed limit to be reduced by 5 mph. Engineering surveys are typically performed during non-commute hours and are not perFormed where roadways are still under construction or where there are temporary conditions (such as a lane closure or inclement weather) that would affect a driver's speed. A Policy Directive was issued by the State of California Department of Transportation in July 2009 that reiterates the standard for establishing speed limits as set forth in the California Vehicle Code (Sections 627, 22358.8 and 40802). Specifically, it called for clear justification for the 5 mph reduction in the E&TS. Traffic Commissioners take these E&TS's seriously and may not uphold citations when the driver is within the 85t" percentile speed. Speed limits that are set artificially low are said to be "speed traps" and are not enforceable using radar (Attachment 2). Study Findinqs The E&TS forms are included with this staff report (Attachments 3, 4, 5 and 6). Page 2 of 4 Dublin Boulevard (Tassajara Road to Fallon Road): This segment of roadway contains several 45 mph speed limit signs; however, this limit is not based upon the results of an E&TS. The posted speeds are therefore not enforceable using radar, and the signs were placed in an effort to encourage reasonable travel speeds. Dublin Boulevard is a major arterial that runs east-west parallel to and north of I-580. The segment consists of four to six travel lanes with a center median and signalized traffic controls with separate turn lanes at major intersections. Parking is prohibited. It is flat and mostly straight with a broad S-curve near the eastern end. The adjacent land use is a mix of new residential and retail and several vacant parcels. The E&TS indicates that the critical speed is 44.3 mph, which suggests a posted speed limit of 45 mph (by rounding to the nearest 5 mph increment). Staff recommends that the posted speed limit be established at 45 mph so that enforcement by use of radar may commence (Attachment 3). Central Parkway (Tassaiara Road to Fallon Road): This segment of roadway contains several 35 mph speed limit signs; however, this limit is not based upon the results of an E&TS and is therefore not enforceable using radar. The signs were placed in an effort to encourage reasonable travel speeds. Central Parkway is a Class I collector that runs east-west north of Dublin Boulevard between Arnold Road and Fallon Road. The segment under consideration consists of finro travel lanes with a center median and signalized traffic controls with separate turn lanes at major intersections. Parking is allowed along the residential sections of the roadway, and bike lanes are provided. It is flat and straight from Tassajara Road to Keegan Street, then moderately graded and curved to Fallon Road. The adjacent land use is primarily residential with some parcels undeveloped. The E&TS indicates that the critical speed is 37.5 mph, which suggests a posted speed limit of 40 mph (by rounding to the nearest 5 mph increment). Given the primarily residential character of the roadway and the proximity of the Fallon Sports Park with associated bicycle and pedestrian traffic, staff recommends that the posted speed limit be established at 35 mph by applying the optional 5 mph downward speed zoning (Attachment 4). Fallon Road (South Citv Limit to Bent Tree Drive): There is no posted speed limit on this section of roadway. Fallon Road is a major arterial that runs north-south between I-580 to just north of Signal Hill Drive. Plans include extending the roadway further north to intersect Tassajara Road. Between I-580 and Dublin Boulevard, Fallon Road contains four travel lanes and is flat and straight. North of Dublin Boulevard, the roadway has only two travel lanes and it slopes and curves to Positano Parkway. North of Positano Parkway, there exists five travel lanes (three northbound and two southbound) and a center median. The roadway contains signalized traffic controls with separate turn lanes at major intersections. Parking is prohibited. The adjacent land use is undeveloped between the freeway and Positano Parkway. North of Positano Parkway, a sports park is located on the west side and non-fronting residential is located on the east side. The E&TS indicates that the critical speed is between 43.4 and 47.3 mph, which suggests a posted speed limit of 45 mph (by rounding to the nearest 5 mph increment). Staff recommends that the posted speed limit be established at 45 mph (Attachment 5). Lockhart Street (Dublin Boulevard to Gleason Drive): There is no posted speed limit on this roadway. Lockhart Street is a Class II collector that runs north-south between Dublin Boulevard and Gleason Drive. The roadway consists of two travel lanes with a center median and no parking is allowed. Signalized traffic controls exist at the major intersections, and stop signs exist at Finnian Way. The roadway has a modest grade and curvature between Central Parkway and Gleason Drive. Between Dublin Boulevard and Central Parkway, a multi-family residential complex is located west of the roadway, and the east side is vacant. North of Central Parkway, a sports park exists east of the roadway and a residential development is Page 3 of 4 planned on the west side with an elementary school currently under construction. The E&TS indicates that the critical speed is befinreen 29.7 (south of Central Parkway) and 35.1 mph (north of Central Parkway), which suggests posted speed limits of 30 mph and 35, respectively (by rounding to the nearest 5 mph increment). Given the proximity of the sports park with associated bicycle and pedestrian activity and the planned elementary school, staff recommends that the posted speed limit be established at 30 mph for the entire segment by applying the optional 5 mph downward speed zoning for the segment north of Central Parkway (Attachment 6). Although the E&TS indicates 35.1 mph on Lockhart Street north of Central Parkway and there is clear justification for reducing the posted speed to 30 mph because of proximity to the new Kolb Elementary School (due to open in Fall 2011), there is no leeway to lower the speed further while still maintaining enforceability. Because the roadway is wider than 40 feet a speed survey is triggered by the CVC as indicated earlier in this report. As a comparison, this proposed posted speed is commensurate with the example of a posted speed of 35 mph on Village Parkway fronting along Dublin High School. 25 mph signs are still able to be posted in school areas and in effect when children are present. Staff will pay attention to the speed along this roadway once the school has opened, Fallon Sports Park is in full use, and the area has been further developed. A draft ordinance is attached (Attachment 7) that would amend the City of Dublin Traffic Code to establish a new speed limit of 45 mph on Dublin Boulevard between Tassajara Road and Fallon Road, 35 mph on Central Parkway between Tassajara Road and Fallon Road, 45 mph on Fallon Road between South City Limit and Bent Tree Drive, and 30 mph on Lockhart Street between Dublin Boulevard and Gleason Drive. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: Because there are no direct residential driveways fronting the study roadways, notices were not sent out. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location Map 2.

(a) A"speed trap" is either of the following: (1) A particular section of a highway measured as to distance and with boundaries marked, designated, or otherwise determined in order that the speed of a vehicle may be calculated by securing the time it takes the vehicle to travel the known distance. (2) A particular section of a highway with a prima facie speed limit that is provided by this code or by local ordinance under subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 22352, or established under Section 22354, 22357, 22358, or 22358.3, ifi that prima facie speed limit is not justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of the alleged violafion, and enforcement of the speed limit involves the use of radar or any other electronic device that measures the speed of moving objects. This paragraph does not apply to a local street, road, or school zone. (b) (1) For purposes of this section, a local street or road is defined by the latest functional usage and federal-aid system maps submitted to the federal Highway Administration, except that when these maps have not been submitted, or when the street or road is not shown on the maps, a"local street or road" means a street or road that primarily provides access to abutting residential property and meets the following three conditions: (A) Roadway width of not more than 40 feet. (B) Not more than one-half of a mile of uninterrupted length. Interruptions shall include official traffic control signals as defined in Section 445. (C) Not more than one traffic lane in each direction. (2) For purposes of this section "school zone" means that area approaching or passing a school building or the grounds thereof that is contiguous to a highway and on which is posted a standard "SCHOOL" warning sign, while children are going to or leaving the school either during school hours or during the noon recess period. "School zone" also includes the area approaching or passing any school grounds thaf are not separated from the highway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier while the grounds are in use by children if that highway is posted with a standard "SCHOOL" waming sign. (c) (1) When all of the following criteria are met, paragraph (2) of this subdivision shall be applicable and subdivision (a) shall not be applicable: (A) When radar is used, the arresting officer has successfully completed a radar operator course of not less than 24 hours on the use of police traffic radar, and the course was approved and certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. (B) When laser or any, other electronic device is used to measure the speed of moving objects, the arresting officer has successfully completed the training required in subparagraph (A) and an additional training course of not less than two hours approved and certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. (C) (i) The prosecution proved that the arresting officer complied with subparagraphs (A) and (B) and that an engineering and traffic survey has been conducted in accordance with subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2). The prosecution proved that, prior to the officer issuing the notice to appear, the arresting officer established that the radar, laser, or other electronic device conformed to the requirements of subparagraph (D). (ii) The prosecution proved the speed of the accused was unsafe for the conditions present at the time of alleaed violatinn unless the citation was for a violation of Section 22349, 22356, or 22406. http:,,dm~.~a.go~,pubs,~~top,dl~,v~4ogo2.ht~ ~ ATTACHMENT Z ~ ~`~ ~ ~ v :CITY OF DUBLIN : SPEED LLMtT ENGINEERfNG / TRAFFIC SURVEY Street: Dublin Bivd.
