2 Staff Report City of Hawthorne To: Through: From: Honorable Mayor & City Council Members Michael Goodson, City Manager Arnold Shadbehr, Chief of Public Works & General Services Date: September 23, 2014 Subject: Second Reading of Ordinance 2078 Approving Engineering & Traffic Surveys Prepared by Albert Grover and Associates for the City of Hawthorne (Dated July 2014). Recommendation The City Council open and close public hearing and then approve Ordinance 2078 on September 23, Summary Report The purpose of the Citywide Engineering and Traffic Surveys is to establish speed limits on the City s roadways in accordance with the California Vehicle Code. The California Vehicle Code authorizes cities to designate and regulate speed zones within their jurisdictions based on an engineering and traffic survey conducted in accordance with the methods established by the Department of Transportation. The City s last speed study was performed in The 2014 Engineering and Traffic Survey (the Study or Report ) has been prepared and is available for review in the Public Works Department. The Study evaluates the posted speed limits along 43 street segments within the City. Adoption of this Study will allow the City to update the speed limits on several street segments and enable the Hawthorne Police Department to utilize radar or other electronic speed measuring devices for speed enforcement. council/2014/speedstudy2014

3 The California Vehicle Code (CVC) sections and require Engineering and Traffic Surveys that verify the prima facie speed limit before enforcement by such a device is legal. The law further specifies that these surveys be conducted every 7 years. The Engineering and Traffic Surveys for the City were conducted in accordance with procedures outlined in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (California MUTCD) 2012, and as required by Section 627 of the California Vehicle Code. The Code further describes three elements of an engineering and traffic survey: 1. Measurement of prevailing speed; 2. Accident history; and 3. Roadway characteristics not readily apparent to the motorist. 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 to identify and apprehend 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. 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 that 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. Additionally, it is generally accepted that speed limits cannot be successfully enforced without voluntary compliance by a majority of drivers. Consequently, council/2014/speedstudy2014

4 only the driver whose behavior is clearly out-of-line with the normal flow of traffic is usually targeted for enforcement. 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 th 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 85 th percentile speed. For example, if the 85 th percentile speed is 48 mph, the basic speed limit is 50 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 the speed limit 5 mph or more below the basic speed limit. The recommendations contained in the 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 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 recommendation made by the 2014 Engineering and Traffic Survey is to keep all existing speed limits the same. Table 2 of the Report identifies the street segments with recommended higher posted speed limits. council/2014/speedstudy2014

6 ORDINANCE NO AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING ENGINEERING & TRAFFIC SURVEYS PREPARED BY ALBERT GROVER & ASSOCIATES FOR THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE AND AMENDING CHAPTER OF THE HAWTHORNE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMITS ON VARIOUS STREETS WITHIN THE CITY. WHEREAS, the City of Hawthorne retained Albert Grover & Associates to prepare an engineering and traffic survey (the report ) to update the speed limits on City of Hawthorne arterial and secondary arterial street network. (The report is attached as Exhibit A to this Ordinance). The overall study was conducted to comply with existing State regulations concerning the increasing or decreasing of speed limits within City boundaries; and WHEREAS, the California Vehicle Code ( VC ) requires that speed limits be established in accordance with appropriate engineering practice and methods; and WHEREAS, to legally use radar for speed enforcement, VC Section 40802(b) requires that limits be established per Sections and of the VC, the limits must be justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of the alleged violation. However, a change in State law allows cities to extend the survey period up to seven or ten years depending n specific criteria. WHEREAS, at 43 locations on the City s arterial and secondary arterial street network, spot speed surveys were taken in conformance with the State law for conducting engineering and traffic surveys for the purpose of establishing prima facie speed limits. The data was collected per the Caltrans Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices ( MUTCD ) January 2012 California Supplement. Sections of the California MUTCD detailed regulations for conducting the required Engineering and Traffic Survey are present in Appendix A of the Report. Appendix A also contains definitions of terms used in speed zone surveys. Relevant excerpts from the VC regarding regulations governing speed limits are presented in Appendix B of the Report; and WHEREAS, the actual speed zone surveys were conducted by Transportation Studies, Inc., a subcontractor of Albert Grover & Associates ( AGA ). A California registered traffic engineer from AGA drove the streets. WHEREAS, on the basis of those surveys, staff has determined that the adoption of the following recommended speed limits and the amendment of Chapter of the Ordinance No Amending Prima Facie Speed Limits

7 Hawthorne Municipal Code are reasonable and safe and will facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic.
