Date: 09/26/2024 TO:HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM:JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 24-073: REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO ENLARGE AND MOVE A DRIVEWAY APRON APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET ON A PROPERTY LOCATED AT 10 CREST ROAD WEST (LOT 2-CH), ROLLING HILLS, CA 90274 (FRYKMAN), AND DETERMINING THE PROJECT EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DATE:September 26, 2024 BACKGROUND: Zoning, Location, and Lot Description The property is zoned RAS-1 and the gross lot area is 49,658 square feet (SF) (1.14 acres). For development purposes, the net lot area is 40,914 SF (0.94 acres ), which excludes the roadway easement and 10 feet around the property. The lot is developed with a 4,385 SF main residence, 750 SF attached garage, 1,104 SF swimming pool, 100 SF pool equipment area, 735 SF stable, 234 SF attached covered porches, 450 SF attached trellises, and other improvements. The total structural coverage excluding exempt structures is 7,848 SF or 19.18% of the lot (Attachment 3). The existing driveway is 3,340 SF with an additional 480 SF for a motor court and parking. The area of the driveway in the front setback area is 11%. The area of the driveway in the side setback area is 38.4% and the area of the motor court in the side setback is 9.4%, for a total of 48%. Applicant Request On September 3, 2024, the applicant, Dan Bolton, on behalf of the property owner, Karl Frykman, submitted an application to repave and move the driveway approximately 10 feet east (8'-7" according to site measurement; see Attachment 2). The maximum width of the 15 driveway will be 20 feet. According to site measurements, the driveway apron will be approximately 29'-5"; the existing driveway is approximately 24' wide based on aerial photo measurements. The existing asphalt will be removed and replaced with permeable pavers. An increase of 30 SF will be added to the driveway bringing the total to 3,370 SF (Attachment 4 and 5). Pursuant to Section 17.16.150 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC), the driveway may not cover more than 20% of the setback area in which it is located, and uncovered parking areas and motor courts may not cover more than 10%. The project will increase the front yard setback coverage from 11.0% to 11.3%, which is under the 20% maximum. No change will be made to the side yard setback coverage for the driveway and motor court, which are legal nonconforming at 38.4% and 9.4%, respectively. The project will eliminate 3,820 SF of impervious area and replace it with 4,113 SF of pervious surface. Approximately 4 cubic yards (CY) of balanced grading is required to level the site. No dirt will be exported or imported to the site and no retaining walls are proposed. The maximum drainage allowed for a driveway is 12%, and the first 20 feet of the driveway cannot exceed 7%. The existing driveway is steeper than 12%, however, the project will improve this condition by being slightly less steep. DISCUSSION: Traffic Commission Review Pursuant to Section 10.08.020(A) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC), the Traffic Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council regarding driveway curb cuts (aprons). Section 15.04.100 of the RHMC states "all new and relocated driveways require approval of the City of Rolling Hills Traffic Commission prior to construction." The driveway is existing, but the applicant is requesting moving it approximately 10 feet east to improve access as the existing driveway is slightly angled. The existing driveway already encroaches into the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) easement and the proposed project has been forwarded to RHCA for review. The City's traffic engineer has reviewed the proposal and visited the site and finds the proposal acceptable (Attachment 1). Other Approvals The project is subject to Traffic Commission review because it moves and widens the driveway apron. Typically, driveway improvements are approved administratively provided code requirements are met. Approval by RHCA is still required. Environmental Review The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 3, Section 15303. The project is for new construction for accessory structures to a single-family residence. 16 FISCAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of the driveway and apron to the City Council.

The project is realigning the existing driveway and shifting it to the east approximately 10 feet, the proposed driveway aisle width is 20-feet and permeable pavers will be used for the surface. A field review of the existing conditions was performed, and the proposed driveway was staked for visual inspection. Based on review of the plans, visual field observations and engineering judgement, the proposed driveway location and width is acceptable. 18 10 CREST ROAD WEST – DRIVEWAY RELOCATION      TOP: Driveway at 10 Crest Road West viewed from across street    BOTTOM LEFT: Width of driveway apron (approx. 29’‐5”)  BOTTOM RIGHT: Movement of eastern edge (approx. 8’7”)                         19 10 CREST ROAD WEST – DRIVEWAY RELOCATION        TOP: View looking eastward.    BOTTOM: View looking westward.        20 DATE: 8/30/2024 0 TOTAL NET LOT AREA 40,914 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 40,914 RESIDENCE 4,385 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 4,385 sq.ft GARAGE 750 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 750 sq.ft SWIMMING POOL/SPA 1,104 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 1,104 sq.ft POOL EQUIPMENT 100 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 100 sq.ft GUEST HOUSE 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft CABANA 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 735 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 735 sq.ft RECREATION COURT 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft ATTACHED COVERED PORCHES 234 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 234 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft ATTACHED TRELLISES 450 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 450 sq.ft *DETACHED STRUCTURES: (circle all that applies) 32 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 32 sq.ft 227 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 227 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 72 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 72 sq.ft SERVICE YARD 90 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 90 sq.ft OTHER:0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft BASEMENT AREA:0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft (Volume to be included in grading quantities) DEPTH OF BASEMENT 0 sq.ft 0 ft 0 ft TOTAL STRUCTURE 8,179 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 8,179 sq.ft %STRUCTURAL COVERAGE 19.99% sq.ft 0.00% sq.ft 19.99% sq.ft TOTAL STRUCTURES 7,848 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 7,848 sq.ft % STRUCTURAL COVERAGE 19.18% sq.ft 0.00% sq.ft 19.18% sq.ft 10 Crest Road West EXCLUDING UP TO 5 AND UP TO 800 sq.ft. detached structures that are not higher than 12 ft.

Date: 09/26/2024 TO:HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM:JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 24-074: REQUEST FOR APPROVAL FOR A NEW DRIVEWAY THAT LEADS TO A NEW BARN AND CORRAL AT 2 POSSUM RIDGE ROAD (LOT 123-RH), ROLLING HILLS, CA 90274 (WHITCOMBE), AND DETERMINING THE PROJECT EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DATE:September 26, 2024 BACKGROUND: Zoning, Location, and Lot Description The property is located in the southern portion of the City at the northwestern intersection of Portuguese Bend Road and Crest Road West. The property is traversed by Possum Ridge Road and is zoned RAS-2. The lot area excluding the roadway easement is 4.2 acres (181,429 square feet (SF)). For development purposes the net lot area is 3.5 acres (151,990 SF). The net lot area is used for calculations throughout this report. Applicant Request On September 4, 2024, the applicant, Megan Campbell, on behalf of the property owner, John D. Whitcombe, submitted an application for a new stable with driveway access and other improvements (Zoning Case (ZC) No. 24-074). The new driveway will be located on the eastern side of Possum Ridge Road and made of decomposed granite (DG). The driveway width will be approximately 16' and the apron width will be 23'-2". There is an existing driveway on the western portion of the lot which will not be affected. The new driveway will be across the existing driveway (Attachment 2 and 4). Pursuant to Section 17.18.030 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC), "No less than a six-foot wide roughened surface or dirt vehicular accessway to the stable and corral area for delivery of feed and removal of waste shall be provided. Such accessway shall not exceed a 29 slope of twenty-five percent. This accessway shall not be entirely paved." Further, the vehicular approach "shall be subject to approval by the Traffic Commission and shall not be considered a second driveway within the meaning of Section 17.16.040(A)(1) if it provides access exclusively to a stable or corral. For stables of one thousand square feet or larger, access shall comply with the Fire Department requirements." DISCUSSION: Traffic Commission Review Pursuant to Section 10.08.020(A) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC), the Traffic Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council regarding driveway curb cuts (aprons). Section 15.04.100 of the RHMC states "all new and relocated driveways require approval of the City of Rolling Hills Traffic Commission prior to construction." There is an existing driveway on the western portion of the lot which will not be affected. The proposed driveway will be located on the western portion of the lot for access to a new stable and corral. The new driveway is part of a larger project to redevelop the site. Approval was already granted for an addition to the residence and other improvements on the western portion of the site. Improvements include redoing the existing driveway on the western portion and replacing much of it with permeable pavers. In total, the applicant will add 2,425 square feet of paver driveway and remove 225 square feet of previously approved paver driveway, for a net increase of 2,200 square feet of permeable pavers. The total pervious surface will be 10,124 square feet and the total impervious surface will be 750 square feet. Driveway area in the front setback covers 4.7% (Attachment 3). The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed the proposal for a new driveway and finds it acceptable (Attachment 1). Additional Review The new driveway is part of a larger project under ZC No. 24-074 that must be approved by the Planning Commission. Approval from the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) is also required prior to submittal for building plan check. Information on the larger project is found in the calculation sheets (Attachment 3). Environmental Review The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 3, Section 15303. The project is for new construction for accessory structures to a single-family residence. FISCAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: 30 Recommend approval of the driveway and apron to the City Council.

The project is proposing a barn on the undeveloped side of the lot east of Possum Ridge with a decomposed granite (DG) driveway with a proposed driveway aisle width that is 15’-11” and a proposed driveway apron that is 23’-2” wide. A field review of the existing conditions was performed, and the proposed driveway was staked for visual inspection. Based on review of the plans, visual field observations and engineering judgement, the proposed driveway location and width is acceptable. 32 2 POSSUM RIDGE ROAD– DRIVEWAY FOR STABLE/CORRAL      TOP: Proposed driveway looking across road from existing driveway.    BOTTOM: Aerial of Possum Ridge Road    33 2 POSSUM RIDGE ROAD– DRIVEWAY FOR STABLE/CORRAL      TOP: Looking south on Possum Ridge Road.    BOTTOM: Looking north on Possum Ridge Road.    34 DATE: 8/26/2024 0 TOTAL NET LOT AREA 151,990 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 151,990 RESIDENCE 6,230 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 6,230 sq.ft GARAGE 890 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 890 sq.ft SWIMMING POOL/SPA 1,200 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 1,200 sq.ft POOL EQUIPMENT 80 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 80 sq.ft GUEST HOUSE 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft CABANA 217 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 217 sq.ft 1,075 sq.ft 2,305 sq.ft 3,380 sq.ft RECREATION COURT 0 sq.ft 6,000 sq.ft 6,000 sq.ft ATTACHED COVERED PORCHES 980 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 980 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft ATTACHED TRELLISES 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 0 sq.ft *DETACHED STRUCTURES: (circle all that applies) SHED 1+2 524 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 524 sq.ft MIXED USE 0 sq.ft 1,075 sq.ft 1,075 sq.ft 170 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 170 sq.ft 372 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 372 sq.ft SHED 3 880 sq.ft -880 sq.ft 0 sq.ft SERVICE YARD 90 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 90 sq.ft OTHER: Remodeled Stable to mixed use 0 sq.ft 1,075 sq.ft 1,075 sq.ft BASEMENT AREA:3,580 sq.ft 0 sq.ft 3,580 sq.ft (Volume to be included in grading quantities) DEPTH OF BASEMENT 0 sq.ft 10 ft 10 ft TOTAL STRUCTURE 16,288 sq.ft 9,575 sq.ft 25,863 sq.ft %STRUCTURAL COVERAGE 10.72% sq.ft 6.30% sq.ft 17.02% sq.ft TOTAL STRUCTURES 10,762 sq.ft 8,500 sq.ft 19,262 sq.ft % STRUCTURAL COVERAGE 7.08% sq.ft 5.59% sq.ft 12.67% sq.ft 2 Possum Ridge EXCLUDING UP TO 5 AND UP TO 800 sq.ft. detached structures that are not higher than 12 ft.

Date: 09/26/2024 TO:HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM:JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT:RE-DISCUSS SIGNAGE AT CREST ROAD EAST AND EASTFIELD DRIVE LEADING TO CREST ROAD EAST GATE AND FINDING THE ACTION CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DATE:September 26, 2024 BACKGROUND: This item was put on the agenda at the request of Commission Raine at the July 25, 2024, Traffic Commission meeting. The item was previously discussed on May 30, 2024, in which the Traffic Commission unanimously received and filed the item making no changes to signage and keeping the status quo. Previous Discussions This item was discussed at the September 28, 2023, Traffic Commission meeting. City Traffic Engineer Vanessa Munoz investigated the issue and recommended signage be replaced with taller signs (see Attachment A). Photos of the existing signs are included as Attachment B. The Commission took no action but indicated the issue involved more than just the City. On December 11, 2023, the Traffic Commission voted to recommend signage prior to the Crest Road East gate at Eastfield Drive that directs vehicular egress during an emergency. The Traffic Commission also requested the Traffic Engineer to recommend combining existing traffic signs with emergency egress signs. History At the September 11, 2023 City Council meeting, the Mayor directed staff to include an item on the Traffic Commission's agenda regarding emergency signage posted on Crest Road East near the egress gate. The direction was given after Alfred Visco provided public comment that the sign at the intersection of Crest Road East and Eastfield Drive that leads to the locked gate at the end of Crest Road East be changed to indicate "emergency evacuation only when green lights flashing" or similar. During an emergency, the gate can be opened and the flashing lights can direct people toward the exit. During non-emergencies, drivers have been known to drive to the end of Crest Road East only to find out the gate is locked and there is no exit. Mr. 46 Visco brought the issue to the attention of RHCA, but they referred him to the City. He indicated the existing signs were reviewed and approved by the Traffic Commission. DISCUSSION: Staff discussed this issue with Kristen Raig of the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) and she indicated no change should be made. Staff contacted Ms. Raig prior to preparing this staff report, and her position has not changed. RHCA already has remote access to the gate and can open it in an emergency. During an emergency, the emergency operations center (EOC) or command center will be able to direct residents to appropriate exits. The Fire Department and Sheriff's Department will also assist with evacuation. On March 15, 2024, staff met with Mr. Visco at the Crest Road Gate to discuss signage. Mr. Visco recommended to City Manager Banales and Director Signo a sign with lights that lets residents know the Crest Road Gate is open for egress. The lighting should have remote access that can be activated without the need for an attendant. Sample signage and lighting is included as Attachment C. Staff and the City Traffic Engineer discussed the item and believe new signage is unnecessary. As mentioned by Kristen, emergency personnel will be able to direct residents to appropriate exits. However, to improve visibility the signs could be replaced in kind at a height of seven feet. Any action has been determined to not have a significant effect on the environment and is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15301(g) (Existing Facilities; signs) and 15311(a) (Accessory Structures, on-premise signs) of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts new copy on existing on and off-premise signs and on-premise signs. FISCAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Discuss and provide direction.

Based on my review of the signage in the field, there is no need to supplement the existing signage. However, the signs are not at the recommended height per the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and are worn out. Placing the signs at the correct height allows drivers to view the signs at a greater distance and make the necessary decisions prior to reaching the intersection of Crest Road and Eastfield Drive. When signs are lower than recommended, drivers’ line of sight may take longer to read the information, therefore, require greater time to react and decide what next steps to take. Furthermore, the signs in the field should be replaced once the retro reflectivity of the sign has worn down since this makes it difficult to see but particularly at night. Since this requires greater analysis and it can be costly, it is a common practice by cities to replace the signs with roadway resurfacing projects or have a sign replacement program. To improve the compliance with the signs, I recommend the signs be replaced in kind but installed at a height of 7-feet. 48 CREST ROAD EAST SIGNS  1    TOP: From intersection of Crest Rd. E. & Eastfield Dr.   BOTTOM: View of signs.   49 CREST ROAD EAST SIGNS  2      50 CREST ROAD EAST SIGNS  3    TOP: Looking east toward locked gate.   BOTTOM: Looking west in opposite direction.  51 SAMPLE EMERGENCY SIGNS AND LIGHTS                        52 Agenda Item No.: 13.A Mtg. Date: 09/26/2024 TO:HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM:JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT:UPDATE ON REQUIREMENTS FOR ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY DATE:September 26, 2024 BACKGROUND: At the May 30, 2024, Traffic Commission meeting, Traffic Engineer Munoz indicated that the City is due for an Engineering and Traffic (E&T) Survey. These surveys are conducted every seven years and are used to justify and update the posted speed limits along eight street segments in the City of Rolling Hills. The last two E&T surveys were conducted in 2011 and 2018, respectively, with the latter attached. The E&T Survey is carried out in accordance with applicable provisions of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and follows procedures outlined in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The E&T Survey is intended to satisfy CVC requirements to enable the continued use of radar for traffic speed enforcement. The Traffic Commission directed staff and the City Traffic Engineer to research the topic and provide a report at the next meeting. Based on the research, staff would seek direction from the Traffic Commission on whether the City should continue using the 2018 E&T Survey or consider conducting a new survey. Prior to the July 25th Traffic Commission meeting, Traffic Engineer Munoz contacted the LA County Sheriff's Department regarding the CVC the station uses to enforce the speed limit in the City. She asked about enforcement on private streets and the use of radar to issue citations. In her conversation with the Sheriff's Department, she indicated that an E&T Survey is needed for enforcement. Staff also reached out to the City Attorney's office about the issue and were advised that the city does not need an E&T Survey because of the private roads. 53 Setting speed limits . Speed limits on private roads are generally not set or enforced by government authorities like they are on public roads. Private roads are typically owned and maintained by individuals, homeowners' associations, businesses, or other private entities. The speed limits on private roads are usually determined by the owner of the road or the organization that manages it. In most cases, the property's owner or governing body will set the speed limit on a private road. Local street exemption for E&T Survey. The speed limit for local streets is exempt from the radar study and, therefore, does not require an E&T Survey (CVC § 40802(b)(1)). Local streets primarily provide access to abutting residential property that meets the following three conditions: (1) roadway width of not more than 40 feet, (2) not more than one-half mile of un-interrupted length, and (3) not more than one traffic lane in each direction. Speed limit enforcement. Law enforcement officers can enforce speed limits on private roads that primarily provide access to non-commercial buildings in unincorporated areas of the City if certain procedures are followed by the road owners and the City. CVC § 21107.5 addresses the necessary procedures setting up enforcement on private roads open for public use which connect with highways such that the public cannot determine that the roads are not highways. CVC § 21107.7 discusses the required procedures for enactment of enforcement on privately-owned and maintained roads not generally held open for public vehicular travel (which by reason of their proximity to or connection with highways are best served by enforcement of the CVC). CVC enforcement in the unincorporated areas of the City is the responsibility of the California Highway Patrol (“CHP”). Approval of the resolution by the City Council does not constitute a commitment by the CHP or Sheriff’s Department to provide enforcement patrols on a regular basis. At the July 25, 2024, Traffic Commission meeting, staff was directed to do further research and report back. DISCUSSION: Since the July 25th Traffic Commission meeting, staff has done additional research and found the following: LA County Sheriff's indicated they do not need current speed surveys to issue citations behind the gates. Speed surveys are needed for any road that isn't a "local road." All roads behind the gates are "local roads" per California law. LA County Traffic Court indicated they would enforce traffic tickets in the City of Rolling Hills in the same way as any other community. Traffic Engineer indicated local streets are 25 miles per hour (MPH) per prima facie. 54 Crest Road and Portuguese Bend Road have speed limits above 25 MPH. While an E&T Survey is not necessary for private roads, speed limits cannot be reduced or set, and the Sheriff's Department cannot enforce speeds without support from an E&T Survey. If the current speed limits remain unchanged and the Sheriff agrees to enforce them without the survey, then it is not needed. However, it is advisable for cities to review speed limits every seven years. Since the City already has the 2018 E&T Survey on file, it will continue being used for enforcement purposes. Updated Engineering and Traffic Survey If the Traffic Commission considers recommending an updated E&T Survey, Willdan can conduct the survey at a cost of $6,400. Conclusion Based on the provided information, the City has the current 2018 E&T Survey and does not require a new study if the current one is still valid and enforced by the Sheriffs. However, if the Traffic Commission decides to change speed limits in the future, it is recommended that these changes align with a new E&T survey. Therefore, staff seeks direction from the Traffic Commission on whether to continue using the 2018 E&T Survey or recommend that the City Council conduct a new E&T Survey. FISCAL IMPACT: Willdan can conduct a survey at a cost of $6,400. This survey is not part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 adopted budget. A budget amendment is necessary to cover additional costs. RECOMMENDATION: Provide direction to staff.

Cruz City Manager City of Rolling Hills No. 2 Portuguese Bend Road Rolling Hills, CA 90274 Subject: 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey Dear Mr. Cruz: As requested, Willdan has completed an Engineering and Traffic (E&T) Survey to justify and update the posted speed limits along 8 street segments in the City of Rolling Hills. These segments were last surveyed in 2011, and require an update to comply with the 7- year limitation set forth in the California Vehicle Code (CVC). We are pleased to submit the enclosed Report that describes the E&T survey procedures and contains recommendations for posted speed limits on the City’s arterial and collector street system. A summary of these recommendations is included in the Analysis. Supporting documentation for each speed zone recommendation is provided in the Appendices. The Report was conducted in accordance with app licable provisions of the CVC, following procedures outlined in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (California MUTCD) dated April 2017, and as required by Section 627 of the CVC. The Report is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 40802 of the CVC to enable the continued use of radar for traffic speed enforcement. We appreciate the opportunity to serve the City of Rolling Hills and the assistance and cooperation afforded to us during the course of this study. Very truly yours, WILLDAN Vanessa Munoz, P.E., T.E.

This E&T Survey presents recommended speed limits for 8 street segments in the City of Rolling Hills. E&T Surveys are required by the State of California to establish intermediate speed limits on local streets and to enforce those limits using radar or other speed measuring devices. These surveys must be updated e very 5 or 7 years to ensure the speeds reflect current conditions as dictated by the California Vehicle Code (CVC). The CVC also requires that the surveys be conducted based on the methodology required by The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control D evices (California MUTCD) dated April 2017. The survey was requested by the City for the proper posting of speed limits and to enable the Sheriff’s Department to utilize radar or other electronic speed measuring devices for speed enforcement. CVC Sections 40801 and 40802 require E&T Surveys that verify the prima facie speed limit before enforcement by such a device is legal. The law further specifies that these surveys be conducted every 5 years. The surveys can be extended to 7 years provided the City’s police officer(s) have completed a 24 -hour radar operator course [CVC 40802(c)(2)(B)(i)(I)]. Additionally, some surveys may be extended to 10 years if a traffic engineer certifies that no changes in roadway or traffic conditions have occurred [CVC 40802 (c)(2)(B)(i)(II)]. These provisions assure that posted speed limits are kept reasonably current. The E&T Surveys for the City were conducted in accordance with procedures outlined in the California MUTCD dated April 2017 and as required by Section 627 of the CVC. The Code further describes three elements of an engineering and traffic survey: 1. Measurement of prevailing speed; 2. Accident history; and 3. Roadway characteristics not readily apparent to the motorist. Posted speed limits are established primarily to protect the general public from the reckless and unpredictable behavior of dangerous drivers. They provide law enforcement with a clearly understood method to identify and apprehend violators of the basic speed law (CVC Section 22350). This law states that "No person shall drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property." The posted speed limit gives motorists a clear warning of the basic speed that is reasonable and prudent under typical driving conditions. 65 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 2 City of Rolling Hills The basic fundamentals for establishing speed limits recognize that the majority o f drivers behave in a safe and reasonable manner, and therefore, the normally careful and competent actions of a reasonable driver should be considered legal. Speed limits established on these fundamentals conform to the consensus that those who drive the highway determine what speed is reasonable and safe, not on the judgment of one or a few individuals. A radar speed study is usually used to record the prevailing speed of reasonable drivers. Speed limits are also established to advise drivers of condi tions which may not be readily apparent to a reasonable driver. For this reason, accident history, roadway conditions, traffic characteristics, and land use must also be analyzed before determining speed limits. Speed limit changes are usually made in coordination with physical changes in roadway conditions or roadside developments. Unusually short zones of less than one -half mile in length should be avoided to reduce driver confusion. Additionally, it is generally accepted that speed limits cannot be s uccessfully enforced without voluntary compliance by a majority of drivers. Consequently, only the driver whose behavior is clearly out of line with the normal flow of traffic is usually targeted for enforcement. ELEMENTS OF THE ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY The California MUTCD dated April 2017 specifies the methodology to be used for completing E&T Surveys. This methodology includes an evaluation of current vehicle speeds, accident history and conditions not readily apparent to motorists. The basic elements of the Engineering and Traffic Survey are discussed in more detail as follows: Speed Sampling Existing vehicle speeds are surveyed by a certified radar operator with a calibrated radar unit in an unmarked vehicle. Speed samples are taken for ea ch segment representing a statistically significant sample of current traffic. This data is then evaluated to identify the distribution of speeds. A key element in the evaluation is the identification of the 85th percentile speed. The 85th percentile speed is the speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic travels. This threshold represents what is historically found to be a safe and reasonable speed for most drivers based on common roadway conditions. Therefore, a speed limit is established at the nearest 5-mile per hour (mph) increment to the 85th percentile speed, except as shown in the two options below. Options: 1. The posted speed may be reduced by 5 mph from the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th-percentile speed, in compliance with CVC Section 627 and 22358.5. 2. For cases in which the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85 th-percentile speed would require a rounding up, then the speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5 mph increment below the 85th percentile speed, if no further reduction is used. Refer to CVC Section 21400(b). 66 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 3 City of Rolling Hills If the speed limit to be posted has had the 5 mph reduction applied, then an E&T Survey shall document in writing the conditions and justification for the lower speed limit. The reasons for the lower speed limit shall be in compliance with CVC Section 627 and 22358.5 The following examples are provided to explain the application of these speed limit criteria: A. Using Option 1 above and first step is to round down: If the 85th percentile speed in a speed survey for a location was 37 mph, then the speed limit would be established at 35 mph since it is the closest 5 mph increment to the 37 mph speed. As indicated by the option, this 35 mph established speed limit could be reduced by 5 mph to 30 mph if conditions and justification for using this lower speed limit are documented in the E&T Survey. B. Using Option 1 above and first step is to round up: If the 85 th percentile speed in a speed survey for a location was 33 mph, then the speed limit would be established at 35 mph since it is the closest 5 mph increment to the 33 mph speed. As indicated by the option, this 35 mph speed limit could be reduced by 5 mph to 30 mph if the conditions and justification for using this lower speed limit are documented in the E&T Survey. C. Using Option 2 above and first step is to round up: If the 85 th percentile speed in a speed survey for a location was 33 mph, instead of rounding up to 35 mph, the speed limit can be established at 30 mph, but no further reduction can be applied. Collision History Reported collisions are reviewed for each street segment to determine if there is a higher than average rate of collisions. A segment that has an above -average collision rate typically suggests conditions that are not readily apparent to moto rists. A summary of the collision rates for the 8 surveyed street segments is provided in Table 2. Conditions Not Readily Apparent To Motorists Each street segment is field inspected to identify roadway conditions that may not be readily apparent to motorists. A determination is made whether any conditions are significant and warrant the recommendation of the speed limit 5 mph or more below the basic speed limit. It is important to note that the California MUTCD dated April 2017 recommends exercising great care when establishing speed limits 5 mph or more below the basic speed limit. 67 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 4 City of Rolling Hills SURVEY CONDITIONS SURVEY LOCATIONS The procedures described below describe the criteria and methods used to survey selected streets within the City of Rolling Hills. The specific location of the radar speed survey for each street segment was selected after considering the following: 1. Minimum stop sign and traffic signal influence. 2. Minimum visibility restrictions. 3. Non-congested traffic flow away from intersections and driveways. 4. Minimum influence from curves or other roadway conditions that would affect the normal operation of a vehicle. DATA COLLECTION Data of existing conditions was obtained including prevailing speed of vehicles, traffic collisions, visibility restrictions, and roadway conditions within the community. Speed data and field reviews were conducted at 8 locations during the month of November 2017. Speed Data Radar speed measurements were conducted at 8 locations during the month of November 2017. The radar speed distribution forms are in Appendix B. All surveys were conducted in good weather conditions, during off -peak hours on weekdays. The radar unit was operated from an unmarked vehicle to minimize any influence on driver behavior . Typically, a minimum sample size of 100 vehicles or the total samples during a maximum period of 2 hours were obtained for each segment. Traffic speeds in both directions were recorded for individual segments. 68 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 5 City of Rolling Hills Collision Data Collision data was obtained from Los Angeles County’s Sheriff’s Department’s Collision Summary Report. For this study, collision data was used from the latest 4 years of reported accidents from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2016. The collision rates for the 8 segments are expressed in accidents per million vehicle miles (A/MVM). To calculate these rates, 24-hour traffic volumes were collected for each street segment. This information was then entered into the following formula to determine the collision rate: xlxvyear daystx AxR 365 000,000,1 A = Number of midblock collisions over time period R = Collision Rate (accidents/million vehicle miles) t = Time Period Covered (in years) l = Length of Segment (miles) v = Traffic Volume (average daily traffic) The segment collision rate was then compared to the average statewide collision rate. The average statewide collision rates were obtained from 2014 Collision Data on California State Highways published by Caltrans. Field Review Data A field review was conducted for each of the selected street segments in the City with consideration for the following factors: 1. Street width and alignment (design speed); 2. Pedestrian activity and traffic flow characteristics; 3. Number of lanes and other channelization and striping patterns; 4. Frequency of intersections, driveways, and on -street parking; 5. Location of stop signs and other regulatory traffic control devices; 6. Visibility obstructions; 7. Land use and proximity to schools; 8. Pedestrian and bicycle usage; 9. Uniformity with existing speed zones and those in adjacent jurisdictions; and 10. Any other unusual condition not readily apparent to the driver. 69 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 6 City of Rolling Hills ANALYSIS CRITERIA Survey data was compiled and analyzed to determine the recommended speed limit in accordance with several criteria contained in the California MUTCD dated April 2017. Some of the criteria used are: A. The critical speed or 85th percentile speed is that speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is moving. This speed is the baseline value in determining what the majority of drivers believe is safe and reasonable. Speed limits set higher than the critical speed are not considered reasonable and safe. Speed limits set lower than the critical speed make a large number of reasonable drivers "unlawful," and do not facilitate the orderly flow of traffic. The “basic speed limit” is the nearest 5 mph increment to the 85th percentile speed. B. The 10 mile per hour (mph) pace speed is the 10 mph increment that contains the highest percentage of vehicles. It is a measure of the dispersion of speeds across the range of the samples surveyed. An accepted practice is to keep the speed limit within the 10 mph pace while considering the critical speed and other factors that might require a speed lower than the critical speed. C. The collision rate for each street segment is compared to average collision rates that can be reasonably expected to occur on streets and highways in other jurisdictions, in proportion to the volume of traffic per lane mile. These average collision rates have been developed by the State of California and are considered reasonable for use in the City of Rolling Hills. RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The E&T Survey Forms, presented in Appendix A, illustrate results of a thorough evaluation of the available data and recommend a speed limit for each street segment surveyed. A complete summary of all recommendations is shown in Table 2 . In each case, the recommended speed limit was consistent with the prevailing behavior as demonstrated by the radar speed measurements. Typically, a speed limit in the upper range of the 10-mile pace was selected unless a collision rate significantly higher than expected was discovered or roadway conditions not readily apparent to the driver were identified. Any segments with recommended speed limits 5 mph or more below the basic speed limit are fully explained later in this report. The Legislature, in adopting Section 22358.5 of the CVC, has made it clear that physical conditions, such as width, curvature, grade and surface conditions, or any other condition readily apparent to a driver, in the absence of other factors, would not be the basis for special downward speed zoning. In these cases, the basic speed law (CVC Section 22350) is sufficient to regulate such conditions. The recommendations contained in this Report are intended to establish prima facie speed limits. They are not intended to be absolute for all prevailing conditions. All prima facie 70 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 7 City of Rolling Hills speed violations are actually violations of the basic speed law (CVC Section 22350). This statute states that a person shall not drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is safe having regard for traffic, roadway, and weather conditions. A prima facie limit is intended to establish a maximum safe speed under normal co nditions. Table 1 identifies the street segments with recommended changes in posted speed limits and Table 2 summarizes the recommendations for all surveyed segments. 71 TABLE 1 STREET SEGMENTS WITH RECOMMENDED SPEED CHANGES Street From To Existing New ChangeNo. Eastfield Drive Chuckwagon Road Palos Verdes Drive East 530254+ Saddleback Road Poppy Trail Portuguese Bend Road 530257+ 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey City of Rolling Hills NP= Not Posted PL= Post Limit 8 72 TABLE 2 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS Street From To ADT Dist.

Each segment is discussed below. Segment #1 – Crest Road West – West City Limit to Portuguese Bend Road This segment is currently posted at 30 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction with an ADT of 1,938 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is rural residential and equestrian nature in a flat to rolling terrain. The critical speed is 37 mph and would normally justify a 35 mph posted speed limit. However, due to vertical and horizontal curves, various hidden driveways, and equestrian traffic that may not be apparent to unfamiliar drivers, a lower speed limit is prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 30 mph for the above reasons. Segment #2 – Crest Road East –Portuguese Bend Road to Eastfield Drive This segment is currently posted at 30 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction with an ADT of 1,825 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is rural residential and equestrian nature in a flat to rolling terrain. The critical speed is 37 mph and would normally justify a 35 mph posted speed limit. However, due to vertical and horizontal curves, various hidden driveways, and equestrian traffic that may not be apparent to unfamiliar drivers, a lower speed limit is prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 30 mph for the above reasons. Segment #3 – Eastfield Drive – Crest Road to Chuckwagon Road This segment is currently posted at 25 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction with an ADT of 1,008 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is rural residential and equestrian in a mountainous terrain. The critical speed is 32 mph and would normally justify a 30 mph posted speed limit. However, due to vertical and horizontal curves, various hidden driveways, and equestrian traffic that may not be apparent to unfamiliar drivers, a lower speed limit is prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 25 mph for the above reasons. Segment #5 – Portuguese Bend Road – Crest Road E/W to Poppy Trail This segment is currently posted at 30 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction with an ADT of 1,728 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is rural residential and equestrian nature in a mountainous terrain. The critical speed is 35 mph and would normally justify a 35 mph posted speed limit. However, due to vertical and horizontal curves, various hidden driveways, and equestrian traffic that may not be apparent to unfamiliar drivers, a lower speed limit is prudent. It is recommended that the speed lim it remain at 30 mph for the above reasons. 74 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 11 City of Rolling Hills 10 Segment #6 – Portuguese Bend Road – Poppy Trail to Saddleback Road This segment is currently posted at 30 mph and has 1 through lane in each direction with an ADT of 1,978 vehicles per day. The adjacent land use is rural residential and equestrian nature in a mountainous terrain. The critical speed is 36 mph and would normally justify a 35 mph posted speed limit. However, due to vertical and horizontal curves, various hidden driveways, and equestrian traffic that may not be apparent to unfamiliar drivers, a lower speed limit is prudent. It is recommended that the speed limit remain at 30 mph for the above reasons. 75 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 12 City of Rolling Hills 10 LEGISLATIVE REFERENCES APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE SECTION 1. Section 627 of the Vehicle Code: Section 627. (a) “Engineering and traffic survey,” as used in this code, means a survey of highway and traffic conditions in accordance with methods determined by the Department of Transportation for use by state and local authorities. (b) An engineering and traffic survey shall include, among other requirements deemed necessary by the department, consideration of all of the following: (1) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements. (2) Accident records. (3) Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver. (c) When conducting an engineering and traffic survey, loca l authorities, in addition to the factors set forth in paragraphs (1) to (3), inclusive, of subdivision (b) may consider all of the following: (1) Residential density, if any of the following conditions exist on the particular portion of highway and the property contiguous thereto, other than a business district: a. Upon one side of the highway, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 13 or more separate dwelling houses of business structures. b. Upon both sides of the highway, collectively, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 16 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures. c. The portion of highway is longer than one-quarter of a mile but has the ratio of separate dwelling houses or business structures to the length of the highway described in either subparagraph (A) or (B). (2) Pedestrian and bicyclist safety. Section 21400. (b) The Department of Transportation shall revise the California M anual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, as it read on January 1, 2012, to require the Department of Transportation or a local authority to round speed limits to the nearest five miles per hour of the 85th percentile of the free-flowing traffic. However, in cases in which the speed limit needs to be rounded up to the nearest five miles per hour increment of the 85th -percentile speed, the Department of Transportation or a local authority may decide to instead round down the speed limit to the lower five miles per hour increment, but then the Department of Transportation or a local authority shall not reduce the speed limit any further for any reason. Basic Speed Law 22350. No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonabl e or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property. 76 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 13 City of Rolling Hills 10 Speed Law Violations Section 22351. (a) The speed of any vehicle upon a highway not in excess of the limits specified in Section 22352 or established as authorized in this code is lawful unless clearly proved to be in violation of the basic speed law. (b) The speed of any vehicle upon a highway in excess of the p rima facie speed limits in Section 22352 or established as authorized in this code is prima facie unlawful unless the defendant establishes by competent evidence that the speed in excess of said limits did not constitute a violation of the basic speed law at the time, place and under the conditions then existing. Prima Facie Speed Limits Section 22352. The prima facie limits are as follows and shall be applicable unles s changed as authorized in this code and, if so changed, only when signs have been er ected giving notice thereof: (a) Fifteen miles per hour: (1) When traversing a railway grade crossing, if during the last 100 feet of the approach to the crossing the driver does not have a clear and unobstructed view of the crossing and of any traffic on the railway for a distance of 400 feet in both directions along such railway. This subdivi sion does not apply in the case of any railway grade crossing where a human flagman is on duty or a clearly visible electrical or mechanical railway crossing s ignal device is installed but does not then indicate the immediate approach of a railway train or car. (2) When traversing any intersection of highways, if during the last 100 feet of the driver’s approach to the intersection, the driver does not have a clear and unobstructed view of the intersection and of any traffic upon all of the highways entering the intersection for a distance of 100 feet along all those highways, except at an intersection protected by stop signs or yield right-of-way signs or controlled by official traffic control signals. (3) On any alley. (b) Twenty-five miles per hour: (1) On any highway other than a state highway, in any business or residence district unless a different speed is determined by local authority under procedures set forth in this code. (2) When approaching or passing a school building or the grounds thereof, contiguous to a highway and posted with a standard "SCHOOL" warning sign, while children are going to or leaving the school either during school hours or during the noon recess period. The prima facie limit shall also apply when approaching or passing any school grounds which are not separated from the highway by a fence, gate or other physical barrier while the grounds are in use by children and the highway is posted with a standard "SCHOOL" warning sign. For purposes of this subparagraph, standard "SCHOOL" warning signs may be placed at any distance up to 500 feet away from school grounds. 77 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 14 City of Rolling Hills 10 (3) When passing a senior center or other facility prim arily used by senior citizens, contiguous to a street other than a state highway and posted with a standard "SENIOR" warning sign. A local authority may erect a sign pursuant to this paragraph when the local agency makes a determination that the proposed s igning should be implemented. A local authority may request grant funding from the Pedestrian Safety Account pursuant to Section 894.7 of the Streets and Highways Code, or any other grant funding available to it, and use that grant funding to pay for the e rection of those signs, or may utilize any other funds available to it to pay for the erection of those signs, including, but not limited to, donations from private sources. Increase of Local Speed Limits to 65 Miles Per Hour Section 22357. (a) Whenever a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineer ing and traffic survey that a speed greater than 25 miles per hour would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe upon any street other than a state highway otherwise subject to a prima facie limit of 25 miles per hour, the local authority may by ordinance determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 or 60 miles per hour or a maximum speed limit of 65 miles per hour, whicheve r is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe. The declared prima facie or maximum speed limit shall be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street and shall not thereafter be revised except upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey. This section does not apply to any 25 mile per hour prima facie limit, which is applicable when passing a school building or the grounds thereof or when passing a senior ce nter or other facility primarily used by senior citizens. (b) This section shall become operative on the date specified in subdivision (c) of Section 22366. Downward Speed Zoning Section 22358.5. It is the intent of the Legislature that physical conditions such as width, curvature, grade and surface conditions, or any other condition readily apparent to a driver, in the absence of other factors, would not require special downward speed zoning, as the basic rule of Section 22350 is sufficient regulation as to such conditions. Boundary Line Streets Section 22359. With respect to boundary line streets and highways where portions thereof are within different jurisdictions, no ordinance adopted under Sections 22357 and 22358 shall be effective as to any such portion until all authorities having jurisdiction of the portions of the street concerned have approved the same. This section shall not apply in the case of boundary line streets consisting of separate roadways within different jurisdictions. Speed Trap Prohibition Section 40801. 78 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 15 City of Rolling Hills 10 No peace officer or other person shall use a speedtrap in arresting, or participating or assisting in the arrest of, any person for any alleged violation of this code nor shall any speed trap be used in securing evidence as to the speed of any vehicle for the purpose of an arrest or prosecution under this code. Speed Trap Section 40802. (a) A "speed trap" is either of the following: (1) A particular section of a highway measured as to distance and with boundaries marked, designated, or otherwise determined in order that the speed of a vehicle may be calculated by securing the time it takes the vehicle to travel the known distance. (2) A particular section of a highway with a prima facie speed limit that is provided b y this code or by local ordinance under subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 22352, or established under Section 22354, 22357, 22358, or 22358.3, if that prima facie speed limit is not justified by an engineering and traffic surv ey conducted within five years prior to the date of the alleged violation, and enforcement of the speed limit involves the use of radar or any other electronic device that measures the speed of moving object. This paragraph does not apply to a local street, road, or school zone. (b)(1) For purposes of this section, a local street or road is one that is functionally classified as “local” on the “California Road System Maps,” that are approved by the Federal Highway Administration and maintained by the Department of Transportation. When a street or road does not appear on the “California Road System Maps,” it may be defined as a “local street or road” if it primarily provides access to abutting residential property and meets the following three conditions: (A) Roadway width of not more than 40 feet. (B) Not more than one-half of a mile of uninterrupted length. Interruptions shall include official traffic control signals as defined in Section 445. (C) Not more than one traffic lane in each direction. (2) For purposes of this section “school zone” means that area approaching or passing a school building or the grounds thereof that is contiguous to a highway and on which is posted a standard “SCHOOL” warning sign, while children are going to or leaving the school either during school hours or during the noon recess period. “School zone” also includes the area approaching or passing any school grounds that are not separated from the highway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier while the grounds are i n use by children if that highway is posted with a standard “SCHOOL” warning sign. (c)(1) When all the following criteria are met, paragraph (2) of this subdivision shall be applicable and subdivision (a) shall not be applicable: (A) When radar is used, the arresting officer has successfully completed a radar operator course of not less than 24 hours on the use of police traffic radar, and the course was approved and certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. 79 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 16 City of Rolling Hills 10 (B) When laser or any other electronic device is used to measure the speed of moving objects, the arresting officer has successfully completed the training required in subparagraph (A) and an additional training course of not less than two hours approved and certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. (C)(i) The prosecution proved that the arresting officer complied with subparagraphs (A) and (B) and that an engineering and traffic survey has been conducted in accordance with subparagraph (B) of para graph (2). The prosecution proved that, prior to the officer issuing the notice to appear, the arresting officer established that the radar, laser, or other electronic device conformed to the requirements of subparagraph (D). (ii) The prosecution proved the speed of the accused was unsafe for the conditions present at the time of alleged violation unless the citation was for a violation of Section 22349, 22356, or 22406. (D) The radar, laser, or other electronic device used to measure the speed of the accused meets or exceeds the minimal operational standards of the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration, and has been calibrated within the three years prior to the date of the alleged violation by an independent certified laser or radar repai r and testing or calibration facility. (2) A “speed trap” is either of the following: (A) A particular section of a highway measured as to distance and with boundaries marked, designated, or otherwise determined in order that the speed of a vehicle may be calculated by securing the time it takes the vehicle to travel the known distance. (B)(i) A particular section of a highway or state highway with a prima facie speed limit that is provided by this code or by local ordinance under subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 22352, or established under Section 22354, 22357, 22358, or 22358.3, if that prima facie speed limit is not justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted within one of the following time periods, prior to the date of the alleged violation, and enforcement of speed limit involves the use of radar or any other electronic device that measures the speed of moving objects: (I) Except as specified in subclause (II), seven years. (II) If an engineering and traffic survey was conducted more than seven years prior to the date of the alleged violation, and a registered engineer evaluates the section of the highway and determines that no significant changes in roadway or traffic conditions have occurred including, but not limited to, changes in adjoining property or land use, roadway width, or traffic volume, 10 years. (ii) This subparagraph does not apply to a local street, road, or school zone. Speed Trap Evidence Section 40803. (a) No evidence as to the speed of a vehicle upon a highway shall be admitted in any court upon the trial of any person in any prosecution under this code upon a charge involving the speed 80 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey 17 City of Rolling Hills 10 of a vehicle when the evidence is based upon or obtained from or by the maintenance or use of a speed trap. (b) In any prosecution under this code of a charge involving the speed of a vehicle, where enforcement involves the use of radar or other electronic devices which measure the speed of moving objects, the prosecution shall establish, a s part of its prima facie case, that the evidence or testimony presented is not based upon a speed trap as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 40802. (c) When a traffic and engineering survey is required pursuant to paragraph (2) of sub division (a) of Section 40802, evidence that a traffic and engineering survey has been conducted within five years of the date of the alleged violation or evidence that the offense was committed on a local street or road as defined in paragraph (2) of subd ivision (a) of Section 40802 shall constitute a prima facie case that the evidence or testimony is not based upon a speed trap as defined in paragraph (2) subdivision (a) of Section 40802. 81 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey City of Rolling Hills APPENDIX A Street Segment Data 82 ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY CITY OF ROLLING HILLS 1 STREET Crest Road West FROM West City Limit TO Portuguese Bend Road Average Daily Traffic 1,938 Date Counted 11/8/2017 Date of Speed Survey 11/8/2017 Time of Speed Survey 10:25AM 50th Percentile Speed (Mean Speed)32 85th Percentile Speed 37 10 mph Pace Speed 27-36 Percentage of Vehicles in Pace 74 Posted Speed Limit 30 Number of Years Studied 3 Total Collisions 0 Statewide Average Collision Rate 1.14 Collisions per Million Vehicle Miles 0.00 Number of Lanes 2, DYCL, BROKEN YCL Type of Traffic Control STOP @ WEST CITY LIMIT, PORTUGUESE BEND RD Crosswalks?NONE Pedestrian Traffic OCCASIONAL, EQUINE Truck Traffic LIGHT On-Street Parking OFF-STREET ON SHOULDERS Length of Segment 1.030 Vertical Curve?SLIGHTLY ROLLING Horizontal Curve?SLIGHTLY WINDING CURVE Visibility LIMITED AT CURVES Roadway Conditions GOOD Sidewalks?DIRT SHOULDERS, ROLLED CURB Driveways?YES, SOME HIDDEN Lighting NONE Width 21 Adjacent Land Use RURAL RESIDENTIAL, EQUESTRIAN Field Study By NS Checked By VM CERTIFICATION DATE Number of Survey Samples 215 SPEED FACTORS mph mph COLLISION HISTORY TRAFFIC FACTORS ROADWAY FACTORS CERTIFICATION: I, Vanessa Munoz, do hereby certify that this Engineering and Traffic Survey within the City of Rolling Hills was performed under my supervision and is accurate and complete.
