EXHIBIT "A"
ENGINEERING, TRAFFIC AND SPEED SURVEY
HIGHWAY UNDER SURVEY: GROVE STREET
AREA OF: BETWEEN CITRUS AVENUE AND HIGHLAND
AVENUE
DATE OF SURVEY: SEPTEMBER 10, 1999
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the facts of this survey it is recommended that Grove Street between Citrus Avenue and
Highland Avenue be posted as a 30 m.p.h. zone.
In the area between Citrus Avenue and Highland Avenue a speed survey was conducted near Palm
Avenue intersection. The result is as follows:
Critical Speed - 32 m.p.h.
Average Speed - 28 m.p.h.
Pace Speed - 22-32 m.p.h.
The last speed survey conducted on this section of Grove Street was on May 22, 1980. According
to the State of California Vehicle Code Section 40802 and its amendment, the speed surveys are
to be conducted every seven years. For this reason, the speed survey on this portion of Grove
Street was required to be conducted.
This section of Grove Street is located within a single family residential area. The curve section
of Grove Street just south of Morrison Drive should be posted with 20 m.p.h. speed limit.
Based on the speed survey and the reasons stated above, we recommend that the speed zone for
Grove Street between Citrus Avenue and Highland Avenue be maintained as a 30 m.p.h. speed
zone.
It is recommended that the Grove Street be posted as follows:
1. Post 30 m.p.h. sign for northbound traffic:
