ENGINEERING, TRAFFIC AND SPEED SURVEY
HTGHWAY UNDER SURVEY: Sunnyside Avenue
AREA OF: Between Fern Ave. and Smiley Heights Dr.
DATE OF SURVEY: July 28, 1981 13 17 17�
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the facts of this survey, it is recommended that Sunnyside
Avenue between Fern Avenue and Cypress Avenue remain posted for
20 MPH. Because of the physical alignment of Sunnyside Avenue, a
ball bank indicator was used to determine the maximum safe speed.
The above testing showed the maximum safe speed to be 22 to 23 MPH.
Two vehicles were also driven at various rates of speed, passing each
other at various locations. This method of testing showed the maxi-
mum safe speed to be 20 MPH.
Taking- the above facts into consideration, a speed limit of
20 MPH would be appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of
traffic in a safe and reasonable manner.
The area between Cypress Avenue and Smiley Heights Drive should
remain posted for 25 MPH. This area meets the requirements of Cali-
fornia Vehicle Code Section 22352-b-1 (residence district) for a
25 MPH zone. A ball bank indicator test was made of the roadway and
the maximum safe speed was found to be 25 MPH for most of the area
with one curve showing a 15 MPH maximum safe speed.
Taking the above facts into consideration, a speed limit of
25 MPH would be appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of
traffic in a safe and reasonable manner.
It is recommended that the area be posted as follows:
1. Post 20 MPH speed sign for south bound traffic south
of Fern Avenue.
2. Post 20 MPH speed sign for north bound traffic north
of Cypress Avenue.
3 . Post 25 MPH speed sign for south bound traffic south
of Cypress Avenue.
4. Post 25 MPH speed sign for north bound traffic just
north of Edgehill Lane.
5 . Post 15 MPH advisory signs with curve warning signs for:
a) N/Bound traffic just north of Edgehill Lane.
b) S/Bound traffic between Clifton Ave. and Edgehill Ln.
