City of El Segundo 1 350 Main St. El Segundo, CA 90245 3
Main Issues
• The eye of the driver should be placed 10 feet behind the
Stop Bar; where in the Pilot Project analysis the eye of
driver was placed 7 feet behind of the front bumper of the
vehicle
• In the Pilot Project analysis, it was assumed the parked
vehicle is 6' wide; where a standard size vehicle requires 9'
width for parking from the face of the curb

Vehicle "Creep"
• In order to make a safe turn onto El Segundo Blvd, vehicles are
moving past Stop Bar for needed visibility
• Some vehicles are "creeping" into driving lane which is dangerous
• "Creeping" vehicles foul the pedestrian crosswalks

Recommendation
• Remove pylons and parallel parking stalls along El Segundo
Boulevard from Main Street to Sheldon Street
• Restripe El Segundo Boulevard to its original condition
• Develop an alternate pilot parking project (including the
conversion of some Smoky Hollow two-way streets to one-way
streets and the use of angled parking) and report back with an
implementation recommendation by October 5, 2021
