DATE OF SURVEY: August 3, 1981 -1 Ct

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the facts of this survey, it is recommended that Alabama Street
between Lugonia Avenue and a point midway between Redlands Boulevard
and Park Avenue be posted for 30 MPH. The area meets the requirements
of 22352b-1 (business district) for a 25 MPH speed limit. There are
six intersections in this area with three being controlled by automated
traffic control signals. Two additional intersections (IS 10 on-ramps
and off-ramps) are being equipped with automatic traffic control signals .
Alabama Street is offset 21 feet at Redlands Boulevard. This offset
was checked with a ball bank indicator and the maximum speed for safe
driving is 30 MPH. The observed critical speeds in the area were :
34 MPH between Lugonia and IS 10 (Average 30 Pace 26-36)
24 MPH between Industrial Park and
Redlands Boulevard (Average 24 Pace 20-30)
32 MPH between Redlands Boulevard
and Park Avenue (Average 26 Pace 22-32)
During 1980 there were twenty-two (22) traffic collisions in this area.
Taking the above facts into consideration, a speed Limit
of 30 MPH would be appropriate to facilitate the orderly
movement of traffic in a safe and reasonable manner.
The area between a point midway between Redlands Boulevard and Park
Avenue and Citrus Avenue should be posted 45 MPH. The area includes
two intersections, both of which are controlled by stop signs for
traffic crossing Alabama Street. The area is mostly open area and
orange groves with one small industrial complex on the east side of
the roadway. The critical speed for the area was observed to be
46 MPH (Pace speed 38 to 48 -- Average speed 39 MPH)
Taking the above facts into consideration, a speed limit of
45 MPH would be appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of
traffic in a safe and reasonable manner.
