Agenda Item No: 6-B
Mtg. Date: 07/26/18
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC
COMMISSION
FROM: YOLANTA SCHWARTZ, INTERIM CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM COMMISSIONER ROGER
HAWKINS TO AMEND CHAPTER 10.36 - RIGHT OF WAY OF THE
ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING RIGHT OF WAY
OF HORSEBACK RIDERS AND SAFETY OF ANIMALS.
DATE: JULY 26, 2018
ATTACHMENTS:
Current Sec. 10.36.050 of the RHMC
Proposed Amendment (Hawkins)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that members of the Traffic Commission review and consider the
proposal from Commissioner Hawkins to amend the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
(RHMC) regarding yielding to horseback riders and animals, including livestock, and
for animal safety and provide direction to staff.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Commissioner Hawkins feels that the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC) is
inconsistent with the California Vehicle Code (CVC) in regards to yielding to horseback
riders and to other equestrian vehicles and livestock. He has also expressed concern that
there is no provision in the RHMC requiring that vehicles exercise proper measures
when animals are in the road. Attached to this report is the existing provision of Section
10.36.050, and Commissioner Hawkins' proposed additional language. Commissioner
Hawkins recommends that two new paragraphs (D & E) be added to Section 10.36.050.
He states that paragraph "D" would be consistent with the CVC, but that paragraph
"E" does not have an equivalent provision in the CVC. However, given the City's rural
and equestrian nature it is a desirable provision.
The City Traffic Engineer reviewed the proposed provisions and has no objections to
this proposed language regarding equestrian and animal right of way. Commissioner
Hawkins' proposal is almost the same as the CVC Section 21759 but with minor word
changes. The City's existing ordinance requires vehicles to yield to horseback riders in
designated crossings, (designated with signs), but does not include other animals and
animals not in designated crossings. Commissioner Hawkins' proposal would .address
vehicles yielding to animals not in designated crossings and include all animals, not just
horses. Should the Traffic Commission recommend the changes, the title of Section
10.36.050 of the RHMC would also need to be changed from "Equestrian crossings" to
possibly "Animal crossings"; or a new section added addressing .other, animals when
not in designated crossings. Staff would need to study the existing and proposed
language in more detail and prepare appropriate amendments.
NOTIFICATION
President of Caballeros and the Rolling Hills Community Association have been
notified that the Traffic Commission will be considering this matter by being sent a
copy of this staff report.
CONCLUSION
Should the Traffic Commission members concur with Commissioner Hawkins and
recommend to the City Council that the RHMC be amended, this matter would be
agendized at a future date for a public hearing before the City Council.

EXCERPT FROM THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE (RHMC)
CHAPTER 10.36 RIGHT OF WAY
Section 10.36.050 Equestrian crossings.
A. The City Manager may designate any intersection of a road as a bridle path or equestrian
crossing by erecting appropriate signs. The signs shall be erected on the road at or near the
approach to the intersection, and shall be of a type approved by the State Department of
Transportation. The signs shall indicate the crossing and any crossmarks, safety devices, or
signals the City Manager deem necessary to safeguard vehicular and equestrian traffic at
the intersection.
B. The driver of any vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to any horseback rider who is crossing
the road at any designated equestrian crossing which is marked by signs as prescribed in
subsection A of this section.
C. Subsection B of this section does not relieve any horseback rider from the duty of using due
care for his orher own safety. No horseback rider shall leave a curb or other place of safety
and proceed suddenly into the path of a vehicle which is close enough to constitute an
immediate hazard.

OLD BUSINESS
2018 CITY OF ROLLING HILLS ENGINEERING & TRAFFIC SURVEY UPDATE.
Traffic Engineer Munoz presented a summary of the 2018 Engineering and Traffic (E&T) Survey and
staff report. She stated that at the previous TC meeting, the TC directed staff to research whether the
two street segments of Eastfield Drive and Saddleback Road could be maintained at 25 MPH and be
-1-
1
supported by the California Vehicle Code (CVC). She stated that the justification would be that these
streets qualify as residential segments and that is the reason for the 25 MPH speed limit.
Discussion ensued concerning warning signs on curved streets, passing of vehicles, tailgating and the
use of radar.
Discussion ensued concerning maintaining the speed limit at 25 MPH on Eastfield Drive and
Saddleback Road.
Commissioner Raine moved that the Traffic Commission recommend that the City Council not accept
the increase in speed limits as recommended by Traffic Engineer Munoz, based on the 2018 E&T
Survey, as follows: 1) Eastfield Drive from Chuckwagon Road to Palos Verdes Drive East - posted
speed limit: 25 MPH, recommended speed limit: 30 MPH; and 2) Saddleback Road from Poppy Trail
to Portuguese Bend Road - posted speed limit: 25 MPH, recommended speed limit: 30 MPH; and
maintain the speed limits as currently posted on Eastfield Drive from Chuckwagon Road to Palos
Verdes Drive East and Saddleback Road from Poppy Trail to Portuguese Bend Road; and recommend
that the City Council adopt the remainder of the 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey's recommended
speed limits along the following six specified segments of roadway to remain the same: 1) Crest Road
West from west City limit to Portuguese Bend Road, posted speed limit: 30 miles per hour (MPH),
recommended speed limit: 30 MPH; 2) Crest Road East from Portuguese Bend Road to Eastfield
Drive, posted speed limit: 30 MPH, recommended speed limit: 30 MPH; 3) Eastfield Drive from Crest .
Road East to Chuckwagon Road, posted speed limit: 25 MPH, recommended speed limit: 25 MPH; 4)
Portuguese Bend Road from Crest Road East/West to Poppy Trail, posted speed limit: 30 MPH,
recommended speed limit: 30 MPH; 5) Portuguese Bend Road from Poppy Trail to Saddleback Road,
posted speed limit: 30 MPH, recommended speed limit: 30 MPH; and 6) Southfield Drive from Crest
Road East to Packsaddle Road, posted speed limit: 25 MPH; recommended speed limit: 25 MPH.
Commissioner Margeta seconded the motion, which carried without objection.
Commissioner Hawkins questioned the calibration data of the device used on the last page of the E&T
Survey report. Traffic Engineer Munoz stated that she would verify the calibration of the device and
whether it was a tuning fork or gun device.
Commissioner Hawkins commented that the speed limit for commercial trucks should be lowered.
Chair Wilson indicated that there is a cost to conduct a study and that the results may not be favorable
to the City.
NEW BUSINESS
DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF FY 2018-19 SUPPLEMENTAL TRAFFIC
ENFORCEMENT PROPOSAL.
Acting Planning Director Stewart presented the staff report.
