M/S Kageyama/Baxter, it was carried by an all AYE voice vote of the members present to 1) Approve a no parking zone, 25 feet in length on the east side of Hospital Drive; leave the posted 25 mph speedzone as is; and that the City of Ukiah pursue along-term solution with the. hospitafteagarding a more formalized crosswalk at this location. 6. COMMITTEE MEMBER REPORTS: Member Seanor reported that he received an a-mail from a resident who lives on Gibson Street. The resident stated that large semi-trucks are turning from State St. onto Gibson St then proceeding onto N. Oak. She has requested that a "No through trucking" sign be placed at State Street to eliminate this loud traffic through the neighborhood. Committee members responded and said that it is not an allowed regulation per the California Vehicle Code. Member Seanor received a request from the Director of Planning, Charley Stump, regarding pedestrian traffic and safety on Waugh Lane. A planning commissioner discussed the area of Waugh Lane Bridge. The planning commissioner believes that there is one side of the street that is better suited for pedestrians to walk on. The idea presented is whether a sign should be put in place designating which side pedestrians should walk on. Member Seanor explained there is a vehicle code section which states which side you should walk on, should there be no sidewalk. Therefore, the city should defer to the California Vehicle Code to govern pedestrians along this street. Member Seanor reported that a year ago there was a request for bus stops on Clara Avenue. TEC 9/19/08 Page 2 of 3 The city has been in contact with Home Depot to get their position on putting in a bus stop on the south side of Clara Avenue. Member Seanor is currently working on this. Member Turner inquired about an update on the Oak Manor Trail and Safe Walks to School Project. Member Seanor responded. There is a paved path along the South side of Gibson Creek, however, the North side of Gibson Creek is currently dirt. The city received funding from Caltrans Bicycle Transportation Account to improve a paved trail all the way to Oak Manor Park. This should be under construction next year. Member Seanor reported that there is a second project in that area, realignment of Gobbi St., Oak Manor Dr. and Babcock Ln. to make i offset intersections. The city is on a tight timeframe to have an av~t project. This would also be for the next construction season. 7. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS: 8.

TEC 9/19/08 Page 3 of 3 CITY OF UKIAH MEMORANDUM DATE: November 18, 2008 TO: Traffic Engineering Committee FROM: Rick Seanor, Deputy Director of Public Works R~ SUBJECT: Discussion and Possible Action Regarding a Yellow Loading Zone on South State Street at Church Street Agenda Item 5a. REQUEST: The Traffic Engineering Committee (TEC) received a request from Susan Gordon, The Art Center, Corner Gallery, for a yellow loading zone at 201 South State Street. Please refer to Ms. Cordon's request, Attachment "A". A photomap, Attachment "B", has been provided for reference. DISCUSSION: Ms. Gordon requested a loading zone in order to facilitate loading and unloading of art works through the front door of the Art Center. There is an existing yellow loading zone on the east side of South State Street just north of the Church Street intersection. Rather than permanently eliminating parking for a new loading zone, staff recommends that the Art Center utilize the existing yellow loading zone when needed for loading and unloading art works. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Deny the request for a yellow loading zone. 2) Refer to staff for further analysis. cc: file September 22, 2008 Traffic Engineering Committee Dear Mr. Rick Seanor, RECEIVED by ~ynail SEP 2 2 2008 CITY OF UKIAH DEPT. OF PUBLIC WORKS ~~ ~/ Attachment # __~___ The Art Center Ukiah, Corner Gallery, 201 State Street at the corner of Cfiurcfi Street needs a loading zone. Church Street is where our back door is located. Our front door is a double door and easier for bringing in art works. My last letter went to Charlie Stump. We do hope your committee will help us to secure a loading zone.

REQUEST: The Traffic Engineering Committee (TEC) received a letter from Dottie Kauffman requesting posting of a STOP sign on North Pine Street at Grove Avenue /Snuffin Street. Please refer to Mrs. Kauffman's request, Attachment "A". A photomap, Attachment "B", has been provided for reference. DISCUSSION: Mrs. Kauffman has cited a recent traffic accident as well as vehicles travelling at high rates of speed as reasons to support the requested STOP sign. At this intersection there are existing STOP signs for all legs of the intersection with the exception of south leg (northbound Pine Street). COLLISION HISTORY: Staff reviewed the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) to determine if there were any collisions at the intersection of North Pine Street at Snuffin Street /Grove Avenue. During the period from January 1, 2004 through June 30, 2007 there were no reported collisions at the intersection. STOP SIGNS: Attached for reference are selected pages from the MUTCD and the MUTCD 2003 California Supplement regarding multi-way STOP sign applications (Attachment "C"). Also, please note Attachment "D", Section 7061 of the City Code which authorizes the city traffic engineer (TEC) to post STOP signs. This intersection is unusual in the fact that three directions of traffic are required to stop allowing free flow for northbound (westbound) traffic. As such, a driver unfamiliar with this intersection would likely expect that northbound traffic would stop. On several occasions staff has witnessed northbound traffic cutting the cornerwhile turning to travel westbound on Grove Avenue. In addition, staff has witnessed a northbound vehicle squealing its tires while turning leftto travel west on Grove Avenue. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is submitting this report for review and discussion by the TEC. Staff has provided the following options for consideration: Approve the request for a STOP sign on North Pine Street at its intersection with Snuffin Street /Grove Avenue. Refer to staff for further analysis. cc: file ,.A ,~ Attachment # Richard J. Seanor, PE Deputy Director of Public Works 300 Seminary Avenue RECEIVED Ukiah, CA 05482 October 13, 2008 OCT 1 6 2008 CITY OF UKIAH DEPT. OF PUBLIC WORKS Dear Mr. Seanor, I am requesting that your department seriously consider placing an additional stop sign on the comer of Pine Street and Snuffin St., thereby making that corner afour-way stop. It is a highly traveled corner leading to the city park for many community activities as well as to Pomolita School. Recently, a young woman rounded that corner at an excessive rate of speed, overcorrected and plowed through the fence on the northwest comer and due to her speed also demolished part of the adjoining neighbor's fence. My husband and I who live on the northeast corner, have sat on our porch and witnessed many near head on collisions from cars zooming around the comer from south pine onto Gove St. heading west. In addition we've witnessed cars traveling north on Pine at an extremely excessive rate of speed estimated at 60 plus miles per hour with nothing to slow them down. I have enclosed a diagram of the corner in question. There are currently 3 stop signs on that corner as indicated by a small round black circle. The red circle on the southwest corner indicates the proposed stop sign. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Larger signs may be used when appropriate. 2. Dimensions are shown in millimeters followed by inches in parentheses and are shown as width x height. Section 28.05 STOP Sign Applications Guidance: STOP signs should be used if engineering judgment indicates that one or more of the following conditions exist: A. Intersection of a Less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of-way rule would not be expected to provide reasonable compliance with the law; B. Street entering a through highway or street; C. Unsignalized intersection in a signalized azea; and/or D. High speeds, restricted view, or crash records indicate a need for control by the STOP sign. Standard: Because the potential for conflicting commands could create driver confusion, STOP signs shall not be installed at intersections where traffic control signals are installed and operating except as noted in Section 4D.01. Portable or part-time STOP signs shall not be used except for emergency and temporary traft;c control zone purposes. Guidance: STOP signs should not be used for speed control. STOP signs should be installed in a manner that minimizes the numbers of vehicles having to stop. At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times, consideration should be given to using less restrictive measures such as YIELD signs (see Section 28.08). Sect. 28.05 November 2003 2003 Edition Manua, 1 u-11Tf7fW~ rra'~t c- C>)7KLr-~ ~.~/t~Ge$ Page 2B-7 Once the decision has been made to install two-way stop control, the decision regarding [he appropriate street to stop should be based on engineering judgment. In most cases, the street carrying the lowest volume of traffic should be stopped. A STOP sign should not be installed on the major street unless justified by a traffic engineering study. Support: The following are considerations that might influence the decision regarding the appropriate street upon which to install a STOP sign where two streets with relatively equal volumes and/or characteristics intersect: A. Stopping the direction that conflicts the most with established pedestrian crossing activity or school walking routes; B. Stopping the direction that has obscured vision, dips, or bumps that already require drivers [o use lower operating speeds; C. Stopping [he direction that has the longest distance of uninterrupted flow approaching [he intersection; and D. Stopping the direction that has the best sight distance [o conflicting traffic. The use of the STOP sign at highway-railroad grade crossings is described in Section 8B.08. The use of the STOP sign at highway-light rail transit grade crossings is described in Section ]OC.04. Section 2B.06 STOP Sign Placement Standard: The STOP sign shall be installed on the right side of the approach to which it applies. When the STOP sign is installed at this required location and the sign visibility is restricted, a Stop Ahead sign (see Section 2C.29) shall be installed in advance of the STOP sign. The STOP sign shall be located as close as practical to the intersection it regulates, while optimizing its visibility to the road user it is intended to regulate. STOP signs and YIELD signs shall not be mounted on the same post. Guidance: Other than a DO NOT ENTER sign, no sign should be mounted back-[o-back with a STOP sign in a manner that obscures the shape of the STOP sign. Support: Section 7iA.16 contains additional information about separate and combined mounting of other signs with STOP signs. Guidance: Stop lines, when used to supplement a STOP sign, should be located at the point where the road user should stop (see Section 3B.16). If only one STOP sign is installed on an approach, the STOP sign should not be placed on the far side of the intersection. Where two roads intersect at an acute angle, the STOP sign should be positioned at an angle, or shielded, so that the legend is out of view of traffic to which it does not apply. Where there is a marked crosswalk at [he intersection, the STOP sign should be installed in advance of the crosswalk line nearest to the approaching traffic. Option: At wide-throat intersections or where two or more approach lanes of traffic exist on the signed approach, observance of the stop control may be improved by the installation of an additional STOP sign on the left side of the road and/or the use of a stop line. At channelized intersections, the additional STOP sign may be effectively placed on a channelizing island. Support: Figure 2A-2 shows examples of some typical placements of STOP signs. Section 2B.07 Multiwa~p Applications Support: Multiway stop control can be useful as a safety measure at intersections if certain traffic conditions exist. Safety concerns associated with multiway stops include pedestrians, bicyclists, and all road users expecting other road users to stop. Multiway stop control is used where the volume of traffic on the intersecting roads is approximately equal. The restrictions on the use of STOP signs described in Section 2B.05 also apply to multiway stop applications. November 2003 Sect. 2B.05 b 28.07 Page 2B-8 Guidance: 2003 Edition The decision to instatl multiway stop control should be based on an engineering study. The following criteria should be considered in the engineering study for a multiway STOP sign installation: A. Where traffic control signals aze justified, the multiway stop is an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements aze being made for the installation of the traffic control signal. B. A crash problem, as indicated by 5 or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that aze suscepfible to correcfion by a multiway stop installation. Such crashes include right- and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions. C. Minimum volumes: 1. The vehicular volume entering the intersecfion from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day, and 2. The combined vehiculaz, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehiculaz traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour, but 3. If the 85th-percentile approach speed of the major-street traffic exceeds 65 km/h or exceeds 40 mph, the minimum vehiculaz volume warrants aze 70 percent of the above values. D. Where no single criterion is satisfied, but where Criteria B, C.1, and C.2 aze all satisfied to 80 percent of the minimum values. Criterion C.3 is excluded from this condition. Option: Other criteria that may be considered in an engineering study include: A. The need to control left-tum conflicts; B. The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts neaz locations that generate high pedestrian volumes; C. Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to reasonably safely negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop; and D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of sirnilaz design and operating chazacteristics where multiway stop control would improve traffic operational chazacteristics of the intersection. Section 2B.08 YIELD Sigm(Rl-2) Standard: The YIELD (R1-2) sign (see Figure 2B-1) shall be adownward-pointing equilateral triangle with a wide red border and the legend YIELD in red on a white background. Support: The YIELD sigri assigns right-of-way to traffic on certain approaches to an intersection. Vehicles controlled by a YIELD sign need to slow down or stop when necessary to avoid interfering with conflicting traffic. Section 2B.09 YIELD Sign Applications Option: YIELD signs may be used instead of STOP signs if engineering judgment indicates that one or more of the following conditions exist: A. When the ability to see all potentially conflicting traffic is sufficient to allow a road user traveling at the posted speed, the 85th-percentile speed, or the statutory speed to pass through the intersection or to stop in a reasonably safe manner. B. If controlling ameage-type movement on the entering roadway where acceleration geometry and/or sight distance is not adequate for merging traffic operation. C. The second crossroad of a divided highway, where the median width at the intersection is 9 m (30 ft) or greater. In this case, a STOP sign may be installed at the entrance to the first roadway of a divided highway, and a YIELD sign may be installed at the entrance to the second roadway. D. An intersecfion where a special problem exists and where engineering judgment indicates the problem to be susceptible to correction by the use of the YIELD sign. Standard: A YIELD (Rl-2) sign shall be used to assign right-of-way at the entrance to a roundabout intersection. Sect 2B.07 tc 2B.08 November 2003 MUTCD 2003 California Supplement Page 2B-1 CHAPTER 2B. REGULATORY SIGNS Section 2B.01 Application of ReQUlatory Signs The following is added to this section: Standard: Orders, ordinances and resolutions by local authorities which affect Stale highways shall be approved by Department of Transportation. Support: Signs required for enforcement are normally placed by, and at the expense of, the authority establishing the regulation. Section ZB.02 Design of Regulatory Signs The following is added to this section: Support: Sign design details are contained in FHWA's "Standard Highway Signs" book and Department of Transportation's "Traffic Sign Specifications". See Section lA.l l for information regarding these publications. Table 2B-101 shows a list of California Regulatory Signs. Figure 2B-101 shows California Regulatory Signs. _ ~'~ Section 2B.05 STOP Sign Aoolications i~ The following is added to this section: Support: A STOP (Rl-])sign is not a "cure-all" and is not a substitute for other traffic control devices. Ofren, the '~ need for a STOP (Rl-1) sign can be eliminated if the sight distance is increased by removing obstructions. ~~ Through Highways Option: STOP (Rl-I) signs may be installed either at or near the entrance to a State highway, except at signalized intersections, or at any location so as to control traffic within an intersection. Refer to CVC 21352 and 21355. See Section lA.l 1 for information regarding this publication. Support: When STOP (Rl-i) signs or traffic control signals have been erected at all entrances, a highway constitutes a through highway. Refer to CVC 600. Authority to place STOP (R1-i) signs facing State highway traffic is delegated to the Department of Transportation's District Directors. Option: Local authorities may designate any highway under their jurisdiction as a through highway and install STOP (RL-1) signs in a like manner. Refer to CVC 21354. ` Standard: No local authority shall erect or maintain any STOP (R1-1) sign or other traffic control device requiring a stop, on any State highway, except by permission of the Department of Transportation. Refer to CVC 21353. Support: The Department of Transportation will grant such permission only when an investigation indicates that the STOP sign will benefit traffic. _-__ i ..__ ,., , i I i r /i d May 20, 2004 ~~~, ATTA~KME~~7 „D" 7060: AUTHORITY TO INSTALL OFFICIAL TRAFFIC-CONTROL DEVICES: The city traffic engineer shall have the power and duty to determine the location of and to place and maintain or cause to be placed and maintained official traffic-control devices52~~) when and as required to make effective the provisions of this chapter or when he may deem such official traffic-control devices necessary or proper to regulate traffic or to guide or warn traffic.
