RECOi�LMEN DAT ION:
Based on the facts of this survey, it is recommended that Elizabeth
Sgreet between Crescent Avenue and Garden Street remain posted as a
30 MPH zone. The area between Crescent Avenue and Fountain Avenue
qualifies under California Vehicle Code Section 22352-b-1 (residence
district) for a 25 MPH zone. Due to the curves in the roadway, a
ballbank indicator test was used to determine the safe maximum speed.
It was found that a speed of 30 MPH could be used to negotiate the
roadway safely. The observed critical speeds for the roadway were
32 MPH between Deight Street and Henrietta Street (Pace 26 to 36,
averag3 30) and 32 MPH between Crescent Ave. and Fountain Ave. (Pace
26 to 36, average 29) . The roadway between Myra Street and Henrietta
Street borders the Kimberly Elementary School. The school is not
readily visable to passing drivers due to its set-back location and
the hilly terrain.
There are only two short sections of sidewalk along Elizabeth Street,
both sections located on the west side of the street. Most of the
roadway is bordered by a stone wall with no place for pedestrians
to walk except for on the roadway.
Taking all 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.
It is recommended that the roadway be posted as follows:
1. 30 MPH for north bound traffic
a) Just north of Garden Street
b) Just north of Henrietta Street
c) Just north of Fountain Avenue
2. 30 MPH for south bound traffic
a) Just south of Crescent Avenue
b) Just south of Elizabeth Crest
3 . 25 IMPH when children are present
a) For north bound traffic between Dwight St. and Henrietta St .
b) For south bound traffic just south of Myra St.
