1. SCOPE OF WORK
Garland Associates proposes the following scope of work for conducting the 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 1— Review Existing Documentation
The previous "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.
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. The survey locations will generally represent the street
segments designated in the City of El Segundo General Plan Circulation 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 guideline will be to survey approximately 100
vehicles at each location (or at least 50 vehicles if the traffic volumes are low).
1
3 5
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 (SWITRS) 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, 2004 to December 31, 2005) will be used to determine the number
of accidents along each street segment. The accident data will be provided to the consultant by City
of El Segundo staff. The accident rates (accidents per million vehicle -miles of travel) will be
calculated for each street segment in the study area.
Task 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, 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 citywide 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 objective of this analysis will be to identify traffic conflicts
and unusual conditions which are not readily apparent to the driver. If such unexpected conditions
are present, then speed limits below the critical speed may be warranted.
2
358,5...E
Task 6 — Determine Appropriate Speed Limits
The information developed in Tasks 1 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 85th percentile speed (or the upper
limit of the pace speed) then determine if there should be a reduction 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."
Task 7 — Prepare Report
The data collected, the methodology used, 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.

a model ordinance was drafted to set up the program.
