RE: Proposal - Update of City of Ukiah's Speed Zone Surveys
Dear Mr. Seanor:
OMNI -MEANS is very pleased to provide this proposal to update the City of Ukiah's speed zone
surveys. The project team for this project has extensive experience completing similar speed zone
surveys. Russ Wenham, P.E, T.E., P.T.O.E., will serve as Project Manager. Russ was responsible for
managing similar speed zone surveys studies on Caltrans facilities for seven Counties over a 10 year
period of time.
In addition, three of the key team members assisted the City in completing the Citywide Circulation
Study and are very familiar with the City's roadway system. The Project Manager and Project Engineer
for this project are both registered Traffic Engineers in California.
Our approach to this project is "hands on"! First, our experience team of experts will personally review
each and every roadway segment to determine existing field conditions. Based upon this first hand
knowledge the exact location of the speed survey will be determined and reviewed with City staff
before the survey is conducted. As identified in Section 2B.13 Speed Limit Sign (R2-1) - Engineering
and Traffic Survey (EATS) - Guidance, of the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD), a location (for speed survey) should be selected where prevailing speeds are representative
of the entire speed zone and if the speeds vary on a given route more than one speed zone section may
be required with separate measurements for each section. Each survey will be conducted with a
recently calibrated hand held radar gun from an inconspicuously parked vehicle. Every effort will be
made to ensure that the presence of the vehicle in no way affects the speed of the surveyed traffic. Raw
field data will be recorded on forms and then input electronically for computer analysis. Only free
flowing vehicles will be surveyed. New daily roadway traffic volume counts will be conducted for each
segment.
Based upon the methodologies discussed above, individual Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS)
reports will be completed for each of the fifty-one study roadway segments. These reports will include
the observed parameters of a radar speed study including the location of the spot speed survey, the
direction of travel, the date and day of week, time of the survey, posted speed limit, along with weather
and roadway classification. Calculated parameters will include the 50th percentile (average) speed , the
85th percentile (critical) speed, the 10 mph pace and the percent of vehicles observed within the 10 mph

pace, the range of speeds observed and the total number of vehicles observed. Based upon this
information a recommended speed limit for the roadway (or zone) will be provided in a draft then final
report.
Finally, OMNI -MEANS will attend a City Council meeting to assist in presentation of the speed zone
report. Additionally, we will provide the City with a compatible GIS layer file containing all of the
speed zone data for each roadway section represented in color coding or other forms. Daily roadway
data for each segment will also be provided as a separate GIS layer as required.
We look forward to being selected to provide these services and working with the City of Ukiah on this
important engineering project.

Project Approach
Radar speed measurements will be conducted by a
trained observer using a hand held radar unit along each
of these roadway segments. The results of the speed
measurements will be considered along with other fac-
tors, including; collision records, roadway characteris-
tics, adjacent land uses, side street traffic, on -street
parking and sight distances in the determination of ap-
propriate speed limits. Roadway speed limits are estab-
lished based upon a combination of these factors along
with the measured "critical vehicle speed." The critical
vehicle speed is the 85th percentile speed which is the
speed at which 85 percent of the motorists are traveling
at or below.
Speed zoning or the application of designated vehicle
speed limits on public streets is regulated by the Cali-
fornia Vehicle Code (CVC) and the California Manual
of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Typi-
cally, speed zoning is warranted on streets and thor-
oughfares where there are "appreciable" amounts of
traffic volumes and where speed zones would help con-
tribute to the "orderly movement" of traffic by increas-
ing driver awareness of a reasonable speed. The basic
goal of speed zoning is to prevent motorists from oper-
ating at a wide range of speeds along a thoroughfare
that could create vehicle conflicts. Speed zoning allows
motorists to travel at or near the same speeds.
Speed zone surveys will be conducted at the locations
listed in Table 1. A Phantom Radar gun, serial #1608,
will be used for these surveys. The radar gun was cali-
brated on 7/13/10. For each speed survey, a Vehicle
Speed Data Sheet will be prepared summarizing the
measured vehicle speed characteristics, such as average
speed, critical speed (85th percentile speed), pace speed
and the posted speed limit. A chart displaying the vehi-
cle speeds versus the percent of cars will also be cre-
ated. In addition, a map illustrating the roadway loca-
tion, existing posted speed limit, speed survey location,
and recommended speed limit will also be prepared.
Field data will be collected by OMNI -MEANS for all
fifty-one (5 1) survey locations. Each of the radar speed
surveys will be made from an inconspicuously parked
vehicle. Every effort will be made to ensure that the
presence of the vehicle in no way affected the speed of
the surveyed traffic. Raw field data will be recorded on
forms and then input electronically for computer analy-
sis. Only free flowing vehicles will be surveyed. The
results derived from this technique will accurately dem-
onstrate a balance among the speed, capacity, and gen-
eral use of a segment.
e; Proposal - Update of City of Ukiah's
Speed Zone Surveys
Project Approach
Overview of Speed Limit Laws
Section 40802(b) of the California Vehicle Code pro-
vides that prima facie speed limits established under
Sections 22352(b)(1), 22354, 22357, 22358 and
22358.3 may not be enforced by radar unless the speed
limit has been justified by an engineering and traffic
survey within the last five years. Under Section 40802
(b) an engineering and traffic survey (E&TS) is re-
quired where enforcement involves the use of radar or
other electronic speed measuring devices. Local streets
and roads, as defined in Section 40802(b), primarily
serving abutting residential property, are exempt from
this requirement.
The California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control De-
vices (MUTCD) requires that a E&TS include consid-
eration of all the following:
Prevailing speeds as de-
termined by traffic engi-
neering measurements.
Collision records.
Highway, traffic, and
roadside conditions not
readily apparent to the
driver.
Traffic engineering measurements are typically accom-
plished through radar speed studies. The observed pa-
rameters of a radar speed study include the location of
the spot speed survey, the direction of travel, the date
and day of week, time of the survey, posted speed limit,
weather and roadway classification. Calculated parame-
ters include the 50t11 percentile (average) speed, the 85th
percentile (critical) speed, the 10 mph pace and the per-
cent of vehicles observed within the 10 mph pace, the
range of speeds observed and the total number of vehi-
cles observed. A brief explanation of some of these
parameters follows.
50TH PERCENTILE SPEED
The 50th percentile speed is that speed above and
below which 50 percent of the sample speeds lie.
This is also known as the median or average speed.
85TH PERCENTILE SPEED
The 85th percentile speed is that speed at or below
which 85 percent of the observed vehicles are trav-
eling. The 85th percentile (critical) speed of a spot
speed survey is the primary indicator of a speed
limit that might be imposed. For City / County
PROJECT APPROACH & SCHEDULE ■■■ 7
Project Approach
roadways, the speed limit normally should be estab-
lished at the first five mile per hour increment clos-
est to the 856' percentile speed. However, in match-
ing existing conditions with the traffic safety needs
of the community, engineering judgment may indi-
cate the need for further reduction of five miles per
hour. Factors affecting the decision to further de-
crease the speed limit include accident experience,
traffic volumes, road features, or other special situa-
tions.
10 MPH PACE
The 10 mph pace is the 10 mile per hour increment
of observed speeds that contains the greatest num-
ber of vehicles. In most of the cases, the 85th per-
centile speed and the recommended speed limit lie
somewhere within the pace, frequently in the mid-
dle to upper ranges. This is another indicator used
to determine appropriate speed limits. The percent
of vehicles in pace is an indication of the
"bunching" of vehicular speeds. The higher the per-
cent of vehicles within the pace speed the better the
speed distribution. The percent in the pace is often
between 63% and 78%.
Besides measuring the 85th percentile speed, other
physical or demographic factors regarding a road-
way segment can be involved in determining the
optimal vehicle speeds, including type of adjacent
land use, presence of on -street parking, geometric
limitations (horizontal / vertical alignment, narrow
cross-section, limited shoulder widths, etc.), and/or
proximity to schools. Change in current California
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(California MUTCD) regarding policy and proce-
dure for setting speed limits in California was re-
cently updated in June 29, 2009 with an effective
date of July 1, 2009.
UTS Reports
Based upon the methodologies discuss above, individ-
ual Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) reports will
be completed for each of the roadway segment listed in
Table 1 within the City of Ukiah. The roadways listed
include fifty-one (5 1) segments. As identified in Section
2B. 13 Speed Limit Sign (R2-1) - Engineering and Traf-
fic Survey (E&TS) - Guidance, of the California Manual
of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), a loca-
tion (for speed survey) should be selected where pre-
vailing speeds are representative of the entire speed
zone and if the speeds vary on a given route more than
one speed zone section may be required with separate
measurements for each section. Field review would be
conducted to determine the appropriate homogenous
speed zone locations. These field reviews will then de-
termine the appropriate number of speed surveys that
will be conducted.
{Note: For budgetary purposes a total of sixty (60)
speed survey locations have been estimated. The actual
number ofsurvey locations will be determined following
field reviews and the project budget adjusted accord-
ingly. j

Task 1 - Initiate Study.
OMNI -MEANS will verify with City staff the relevant
data collection needs, including the required number of
radar survey locations, ADT volumes, and collision his-
tory information. At a minimum the locations listed in
Task 2 will be included in the study. Additional loca-
tions or multiple speed survey locations within each
segment will be discussed with City staff. All of the
roadway segments will be field inspected to determine
geometrics and other conditions prior to commencing
surveys.
Task 2 - Radar Speed Survey and Data
Collection.
OMNI -MEANS will conduct radar speed surveys on the
fifty-one (5 1) roadway segments (refer to Table 1 be-
low) that the City has identified for analysis. Due to the
length of several of the study streets, radar surveys may
be required at more than one location in order to prop-
erly assess the conditions of the entire street segment.
Our budget for radar surveys is estimated to be a maxi-
mum of sixty (60) locations. At each location, a mini-
mum of 100 vehicle speed observations will be re-
corded.

Work Tasks
(Note: If extremely low volume segments are present, a
smaller sample size may be necessary, but these excep-
tions would be established in Task I in concurrence
with the City.) In accordance with standard practice,
the radar surveys will reflect the following:
Vehicles not impeded by congestion problems;
♦ Vehicles in free flow operation;
♦ Random inclusion of lower and higher speed
vehicles; and
• Relative proportion of truck observations.
In addition to recording vehicle speeds, we will note
other characteristics (adjacent land uses, alignment, side
street traffic, etc.). This road condition data will assist
in the final identification of appropriate speed limits.
Task 3 - Daily Traffic Volume Counts.
Metro Traffic Data (MTD) will conduct roadway seg-
ment daily traffic counts for each of the fifty-one (5 1)

listed in Table 1. These counts will be summarized into
a report that includes volumes by directions, summa-
rized by 15 minute time periods.
Task 4 - Data Reduction/Analysis.
OMNI -MEANS will enter the roadway speed survey
data into a software program that will provide a sum-
mary sheet for each roadway segment that graphs the
85"' percentile speed (or "critical speed"), average
speed, pace, and other relevant information regarding
the survey.
OMNI -MEANS will collect accident data from the City
(and other sources as appropriate) and accidents will be
identified for each roadway segment. Based on daily
traffic count data conducted in Task 3 accident rates
(per million vehicle miles) will be calculated and com-
pared with statewide averages for similar roadway
types.
For each study location, OMNI -MEANS will review
the data relevant to identifying preliminary recom-
mended speed limits. These preliminary findings will be
discussed with City staff and, if appropriate, adjusted to
reflect additional input.
Task 5 - Prepare Draft Report.
OMNI -MEANS will prepare a report with attached ap-
pendices that summarizes the data collection, analyses,
and recommendations for speed limits at each of the
fifty-one (5 1) study locations. The report will include

Task 7 - Prepare GIS Layer.
OMNI -MEANS will prepare a GIS layer compatible
with the City's existing GIS software that contains the
final posted speed attribute for each roadway segment
link within the GIS system. In addition, the link attrib-
utes will be modified to correspond to the posted speed
limit to allow a graphical color representation of this
data. In addition, OMNI -MEANS will work with the
City to update GIS daily traffic data based upon the new
counts conducted for this study.
Task 8 - Meetings.
OMNI -MEANS will attend a total of three (3) meetings.
These will include two meetings with staff; an initial
start-up meeting and a subsequent meeting to discuss
preliminary results (which could occur with completion

Mono County Speed Zone Engineering &Traffic Surveys
OMNI -MEANS was retained by Mono County in June of 2011 to perform a
Speed Zone Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) for ninety miles of the
counties various very rural roadways. The basic goal of speed zoning is to
prevent motorists from operating at a wide range of speeds along a thorough-
fare that could create vehicle conflicts. Speed zoning allows motorists to
travel at or near the same speeds.
OMNI -MEANS performed radar surveys; the radar speed measurements were
conducted on twenty-one (2 1) separate roadway sections throughout Mono
County by a trained observer using a hand help radar unit along each of these
roadway segments. The results of the speed measurements were considered
along with other factors including; collision records, roadway characteristics,
adjacent land uses, side street traffic, on -street parking, accident reviews, and
sight distances. Final reports were presented to the Board of Supervisors in
December of 2011.
All of these factors were use in the determination of appropriate speed limits.
For each speed survey, OMNI -MEANS prepared Vehicle Speed Data Sheets,
charts displaying vehicle speeds versus the percent of cars, and a map illus-
trating the roadway location, existing posted speed limit, speed survey loca-
tion, and recommended speed limit has also been prepared. Many of these
facilities have very low traffic volumes and required many ours of speed sur-
vey collection to meet all Ca1MUTCD standards.

City of American Canyon Speed Survey Updates
OMNI -MEANS was retained by the City of American Canyon as the City
Traffic Engineer. Under this contract, OMNI -MEANS has conducted over
thirty-five (35) different speed surveys on City streets. In order to remain in
compliance with the State of California Vehicle Code requirements, cities are
required to update their speed zone surveys every five (5) years to ensure
proper speed limits and radar enforcement. OMNI -MEANS analyzed the
speed survey data to determine the 85`h percentile speeds for each of the road-
way segments. This data was considered along with other factors, including
roadway characteristics, adjacent land uses, side street traffic, and sight dis-
tances to determine the appropriate speed limit.
City of Paso Robles Speed Zone Study
OMNI -MEANS was retained by the City to conduct speed zone surveys for
52 locations along 35 roadways. The survey was conducted to assist the City
in setting appropriate and safe speed limits for these key City streets. Field
data was collected during November 2002 thru the first two weeks of January
2003 along the indicated roadway segments and survey locations. Each of the
radar speed surveys was made from an inconspicuously parked vehicle. An
effort was made to ensure that the presence of the vehicle in no way affected
the speed of the traffic being surveyed. Field information was recorded on
forms and later electronically coded for computer analysis. Along sections of
roadways where traffic flows more freely, only the lead vehicle of bunches or
vehicles alone were recorded. Traffic accident data and traffic volumes were
obtained to assist the engineer's decision-making process pertaining to speed
limits. The calculations derived from this technique accurately demonstrate a
balance among the speed, capacity, and general use of a segment.
City of Paso Robles Union Road Speed Survey Study
In February 2007, OMNI -MEANS assisted the City in conducting a post con-
struction speed survey study for the Union Road corridor between River Road
and Kleck Road. Radar speed surveys were conducted at three separate loca-
tions along the newly improved Union Road. Metro Traffic Data, assisted
OMNI -MEANS in conducting the speed surveys. Union Road was widened
and a raised median was installed. The post construction speed survey was
conducted in order to set appropriate speed limits for the newly improved cor-
ridor. Based upon the results of the surveys, it was recommended that all three
(3) of the posted speed limits be raised by 10 mph from 35 to 45 mph.
City of San Pablo Traffic Calming Analyses
The City has an extensive citywide program of traffic calming with the pri-
mary calming measures being speed humps. The City review process for these
devices requires comprehensive engineering and traffic surveys, including
radar surveys, an assessment of speed limits and accident reviews. OMNI -
MEANS has conducted these engineering surveys on 26 streets with 32 sur-
vey locations throughout the City. The E&TS have been used in presentations
to City commissions relative to making decisions regarding potential traffic
calming installations.

Town of Loomis Speed Survey Update
OMNI -MEANS was retained by the Town of Loomis to conduct a Speed
Zone Survey. The Town of Loomis had last updated their speed zones on spe-
cific town streets in 1994. In order to remain in compliance with the State of
California Vehicle Code requirements, cities are required to update their
speed zone surveys every 5 years to ensure proper speed limits and radar en-
forcement. For each of the 28 street segments surveyed, two-way radar speed
measurements were recorded. This data was considered along with other fac-
tors, including roadway characteristics, adjacent land uses, side street traffic,
and sight distances. Typically, roadway speed limits are established based
upon a combination of these factors along with the measured "critical vehicle
speed", usually at/about the 85th percentile speed. The Town Council subse-
quently adopted the recommended speed zones
Bankhead Road Speed Surveys and Traffic Calming Measures
An engineering study was conducted by OMNI -MEANS for the Town of
Loomis. The survey was conducted to evaluate current traffic conditions and
recommend potential traffic calming/speed reduction measures for Bankhead
Road between Sierra College Boulevard and King Road. OMNI -MEANS
conducted a speed survey at two locations along Bankhead Road; between
Saunders Avenue and King Road; and between Saunders Avenue and Sierra
College Boulevard. The pace speed was found to be 33-37 mph while the
posted speed limit is 25 mph. Daily traffic counts were also collected over a
7 -day period with the average daily count of 662. OMNI -MEANS recom-
mended two strategies, the implementation of either Speed Humps or Speed
Cushions to both discourage pass through traffic and result in reduced vehicle
speeds.

work and engineering surveys have been required to establish the initial speed
limits. A number of streets have changed character as development has ma-
tured, and speed limit analyses have reflected these changes. Each location
has had a detailed survey form completed, providing a consistent and easily
understood format for considering speed limit findings. OMNI -MEANS has

Madera County Roads Speed Surveys
In August of 2008, OMNI -MEANS was retained by Madera County RMA to
conduct two-way radar speed surveys along five county roads in Oakhurst.
Residents near these roads where complaining that the posted speed limits in
town were too high. At one location, the existing speed limit on Road 426
from Hwy 41 to Highview Drive was set at 45 mph. After we surveyed this
road segment, the critical speed was recorded at 34 mph. After reviewing this
data, along with other factors, including roadway characteristics, adjacent
land uses, side street traffic, traffic accidents, and sight distances, OMNI -
MEANS recommended a posted speed limit of 30 mph. Another concern was
that some areas around Bass Lake did not have any posted speed limits. So
the survey recommended a proper speed limit. In other areas OMNI -MEANS
was verifying that the existing speed limits were still adequate. OMNI -
MEANS provided the coded data sheets with the results of the survey for each
location with any location specific comments and/or recommendations.
City of Farmersville Speed Survey Study
In November 2009, OMNI -MEANS was retained by the City of Farmersville
to conduct a Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) at 12 locations
throughout the City. Field data was collected for all twelve survey locations.
Each of the radar speed surveys was made from an inconspicuously parked
vehicle. An effort was made to ensure that the presence of the vehicle in no
way affected the speed of the traffic being surveyed. The data includes the
location of the spot speed survey, the direction of travel, the date and the time
of the survey. The existing speed limit, if posted, was also noted. Calculated
values include the average speed, the 85th percentile (critical) speed, the 10
mph pace speed, the range of speeds observed and the total number of vehi-
cles observed. Based on the results of the survey it was recommended that one
(1) of the posted speed limits be raised, four (4) of the limits be reduced and
seven (7) to remain unchanged.
City of Avenal Speed Survey Study
The City of Avenal retained OMNI -MEANS in November of 2005, to assist
in setting appropriate and safe speed limits for four (4) key City streets. In
January 2010, the City hired OMNI -MEANS to prepared a Engineering and
Traffic Surveys to analyze three locations along Skyline Boulevard. For each
street segment surveyed, radar speed measurements were conducted. This
data was considered along with other factors, including roadway characteris-
tics, adjacent land uses, side street traffic, traffic accidents, and sight dis-
tances. For each survey a "radar speed survey" worksheet was prepared sum-
marizing the measured vehicle characteristics, such as average speed, the
critical speed, the pace speed and the posted speed limit. Based upon the re-
sults of the surveys, it was recommended that all four of the posted speed lim-
its be raised by 5 mph above the posted speed limit of 30 mph.
