Traffic Commission 12-14-90MEMORANDUM - LXreA two*. IJbr Plant Ep To: Sam Wise Assistant City Manager From: Tom Sorrentino Deputy Traffic Engineer Date: November 5, 1990 Subject: SIGNAL TIMING ANALYSIS FOR PALOS VERDES DRIVE NORTH AND ROLLING HILLS ROAD In response to your request, we have performed a traffic signal timing analysis for the above- mentioned traffic signal location. The request was predicated on the observation of long queues of traffic on Palos Verdes Drive North during peak periods. The traffic signal is currently programmed to operate on a background cycle of 130 seconds from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 150 seconds from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. For the remainder of the time, the traffic signal operates "Free," using street detection of vehicles to operate responsive to traffic demand. Current turning movement counts were used to simulate traffic demand. This data and current traffic signal timing was loaded into the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) computer software for signalized intersections. The calculated Level of Service (LOS) for the intersection based on existing timing was LOS "D" for the AM peak period and LOS "F" for the PM peak period. (The outputs for the LOS calculations are attached.) Using the Signal Operations Analysis Package (SOAP) computer software, current traffic volumes were entered and optimum timing parameters were calculated for both the AM and PM peak traffic periods. The calculations were based on a 120 -second cycle. Cycle lengths over 120 seconds usually result in long queues and excessive delay. The results of the SOAP runs are attached. These timings are based on the traffic signal operating in the "Free" mode utilizing detection to be fully responsive to trgffic demand. The optimised timing was then loaded into the HCM program to determine if any improvement could be expected. The outputs show that the LOS improved to LOS "C' for the AM peak period and LOS "D" for the PM peak period (see the attached computer outputs). Field observations of the intersection showed that, during periods when the traffic signal was operating on a background cycle of either 130 or 150 seconds, time was being wasted. We observed several signal cycles where no traffic entered the intersection for a period of five to ten seconds or more. This occurred even when traffic was present for opposing November 5, 1990 Page 2 movements. A check of the traffic signal hardware revealed that all of the detection was operational. Based on the above analysis, we recommend letting the traffic signal run "Free" at all times. (See attached timing sheet.) The maximum green times for each movement are set to allow for the greatest traffic volume peak. For example, the AM pealc requires 81 seconds of green for the east/west movement, while the PM peak requires only 75 seconds of green for the same movement. In this case, we are using 81 seconds for the maximum green time setting. As you can see, the maximum green time (MAX I) is less than the walk time (WALK), plus the pedestrian clearance time (PED CLEAR) for the northbound movement. This will not affect the operation of the traffic signal or cause the pedestrian crossing time to be shortened. When the button is pushed for a pedestrian to cross the street, the walk and ped clearance times will override the maximum green time for the phase.

Rolling Hills, CA 90274 Dear Commissioner Leeuwenburg, As you probably know, the Palos Verdes Art Center at Crenshaw and Crestridge Road provides facilities and many services that add to the value and enjoyment of living on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. It provides exhibitions,classes, guest lecturers, artists and social functions. The Center enjoys ' the reputation of maintaining the highest standards for its activities. Many of the residences of Rolling Hills are mem- bers, Patrons and volunteers of the Art Center. The prime source of funds to maintain and operate the Art Center come from fund raisers conducted by committees consist- ing of volunteers. One of the important fund raising support groups is the Circle and one of its feature fund raisers is the a tour of distinctive kitchens. This event takes place about every two or three years. The theme of the tour this year is "The Year of the Remodel- ed Kitchen". Selection of the homes was made by a special committee who visited eachhome and the selection was influ- enced by the following: * Kitchen remodeling, its design, work done when and by whom * Homes selected are located in the cluster area easily accessable to the Art Center where food and beverages will be served * Homes located so that traffic movement and parking would least effect normal traffic flow * Located in a peninsula city that supports and co- operates with the Art Center and its fund-raising efforts; Rolling Hills residents have historically done this * The home owners cooperation and agreement to use their homes This year's tour will feature only four (4) homes, two of which are located in Rolling Hills. They are the homes of: 5504 West Crestridge Road, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90274 213-541-2479 * Geraldine and Philip Belleville 8 East Crest Road * Tinka and Peyton Cramer 11 Georgeff Rd. The date of the tour is Wednesday, February 27, 1991. Hours are from 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM. Tickets are $25.00. There will be no busses used. The neighbors near the homes have been contacted or are in the process. Joan Saffo has gra- ciously agreed for people to park in front of her house, in her driveway and on her Portuguese Bend property. Hours have been scheduled to spread out the flow of visi- tors and provide more parking convenience. Your continued cooperation with the Art Center and your concurrence to the above tour will greatly aid our fund- raising efforts.
