Engineering and traffic survey for speed zoning in El Segundo. The objective of the survey is to
measure and document the prevailing highway and traffic conditions in accordance with the
methodology prescribed by the California Department of 'Transportation (Caltrans) for local
.jurisdictions.
Task I —Review Existing; Documentation
The 2006 "Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Zoning" will be reviewed to gain a thorough
understanding of the data collected and the analyses conducted for the previous speed study, In
addition, the applicable sections of the El Segundo Municipal Code will be reviewed to verify the
existing speed limits on each street segment included in the survey in addition to five (5) new street
segments added since the last survey was completed. These include:
® Douglas Street, between Alaska Ave. and Rosecrans Ave,
® Park Place, between Sepulveda Blvd. and Hughes Way
® Maple Ave, between Nash St. and Douglas St.
® Parkview Dr., between Mariposa Ave. and Campus Dr.
® Campus Dr., between Parkview Dr. and Nash St.
Task 2 — Conduct Speed Surveys
Vehicle speed data will be collected at all of the locations within the City of El Segundo that were
surveyed in the previous speed study in addition to the new streets listed in Task 1. The survey
4t
PR
locations will generally represent the street segments designated in the City of El Segundo General
Plan Circulations Element. The speed measurements will be taken with a radar speed meter. It is
assumed that Sepulveda Boulevard (State Route 1) will not be included in this survey because it is a
State of California highway and has previously been surveyed by Caltrans.
To conduct the surveys, the technician will be positioned on straight street segments as far away as
possible from a stop sign or signal. The surveys will be conducted in an inconspicuous manner so that
driver behavior will not be affected and the data will represent both directions of travel. Periods of
peak traffic congestion will be avoided as well as unusual conditions such as rainy weather, fog,
accidents, or heavy school -related activities. The guidelines will be to survey approximately 100
vehicles at each location (or at least 50 vehicles if the traffic volumes are low).
Task 3 — Review Accident Statistics
As recommended in the Caltrans "Traffic Manual," a two-year history of accidents will be reviewed
as input for determining the appropriate speed limits. Either the California Statewide Integrated
Traffic Records System (SWIT.RS) reports for the City of El Segundo or data from the El Segundo
Police Department will be used as the source for accident data. Statistics for the most recent two-year
period (e.g., from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2011) will be used to determine the number of
accidents along each street segment. The accident rates (accidents per million vehicle -miles of travel)
will be calculated for each street segment in the study area.
'cask 4 — Collect Traffic Volume Data
Automatic machine counts will be taken at each of the speed survey locations to quantify the hourly
and daily traffic volumes. The 24-hour traffic counts will be taken on a typical Tuesday, Wednesday,
2
or Thursday on a non -holiday when schools are in session. This traffic volume data will be used to
calculate the accident rates on each study area street segment.
Task 5 — Monitor the Existing Highway, Traffic, and Roadside Conditions
Another component of the engineering and traffic survey is an analysis of highway, traffic, and
roadside conditions. The information in this category includes traffic volumes, geometric features,
roadway alignment, parking conditions, driveway activity, school activity, pedestrian concentrations,
parks and visibility deficiencies. The sources for this information are the city wide traffic counts
described in Task 4, maps and plans on file at the City's Public Works Department, and field
reconnaissance by the consultant. The object of this analysis will be to identify traffic conflicts and
unusual conditions with are not readily apparent to the driver. If such unexpected conditions are
present, then speed Iimits below the critical speed may be warranted.
Task G — Determine Appropriate Speed Limits
The information developed in Tasks I through 5 will be used to determine the appropriate action to
take regarding the speed limits on each street segment; i.e., whether to increase, decrease, or maintain
the current speed limits. The approach for selecting the proper speed limit will be to start with the 5
mile per hour increment at or immediately below the 85'" percentile speed (or the upper limit of the
pace speed) then determine if there should be a reductions based on the accident records or the
presence of any unusual roadway. traffic, or roadside conditions not readily apparent to a motorist. A
higher than average accident rate and/or unique conditions are considered as justifications for
decreasing the speed limits from the level preliminarily indicated by the speed survey. The findings
will be consistent with the methodologies outlined in the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices" as well as the State of California "Vehicle Code."
4 3 6
Task 7 — Prepare Report
The data collected, the methodology rased, and the findings of the engineering and speed survey will
be documented in a report that will be suitable for use by the El Segundo Police Department and the
court system. A draft report will be prepared and submitted to City staff for review. A final report will
then be prepared in response to the comments received.

Mr. Garland developed a permit parking program for the City of Coronado in response to a
concern for parking intrusion in several residential neighborhoods. The parking problems arise
because the residential areas are located adjacent to a Naval Air Station, the beach, and the
popular Hotel del Coronado. Based on the findings of extensive data collection efforts and a
series of public meetings, a model ordinance was drafted to set up the program.
Malibu Colon opping Center
Mr. Garland conducted a study to determine the traffic impacts of a community shopping center
proposed near the Civic Center/ Malibu Colony area of Malibu. The effects of project -generated
traffic on the streets and intersections in this primarily residential and recreational area were
evaluated.

Mr. Garland prepared the ground transportation component of a study to evaluate the impacts of
homeporting three Nimitz-class nuclear -powered aircraft carriers at three west coast Navy bases.
