Date: 05/22/2025 TO:HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM:CHRISTIAN HORVATH, CITY CLERK / EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO CITY MANAGER THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING REPUBLIC SERVICES FIELD OPERATION EXPANSION OF MOTHER TRUCK STAGING SITE LOCATIONS DATE:May 22, 2025 BACKGROUND: While staff handles calls and emails daily and coordinates with Republic Services for response and correction, service issues had grown over a five-month period in 2023. As a result, staff held a virtual meeting on Friday, August 25, 2023, with the Operations Supervisor and the Operations Manager to discuss ongoing complaints and operational issues from residents. At the August 28, 2023, City Council meeting, then Mayor Pro Tem Mirsch requested an agenda item to discuss the many resident complaints. On September 11, 2023, staff presented a similar report to the City Council. A room full of residents showed up, with a handful speaking on behalf of the greater number, outlining ongoing and repetitive issues that had been reported to staff or Councilmembers and, in turn, forwarded to Republic staff. One resident opined that the current routes and staging locations appeared extremely inefficient and offered to have their family business route logistics consultant meet with Republic Services to help re-examine their existing routes and staging procedures. The City Council decided to have the Solid Waste and Recycling Committee continue a more robust discussion of these issues with Republic Services. On October 3, 2023, the Solid Waste and Recycling Committee met to discuss this same topic. Then Mayor Wilson was absent; however, Mayor Pro Tem Mirsch led a discussion with Republic Services representatives and City Staff regarding concerns and complaints, as well as the desire to expand the Mother Truck sites throughout the city and improve the logistical aspects of trash collection. No action was taken. From October 2023 to January 2024, City staff worked with the Operations Supervisor(s) and started holding monthly meetings to address ongoing concerns. Staff requested the utilization of existing approved Mother Truck staging locations and/or find new locations that would be 23 acceptable to Republic Services. Staff requested that Republic provide feedback on locations and shift existing sites to test staging sites that have already been approved. Staff also included input from Arty Beckler and Kristen Raig of the Rolling Hills Community Association. With this strategy in mind, the staff's intent was to ultimately bring new locations to the Traffic Engineer, the Traffic Commission, and the City Council for approval. Staff's goal was to have 8-10 (or more) locations that could be used for Mother Truck staging, thereby minimizing the amount of time a truck spends at any given location during the week. Assuming an eight- location strategy, Republic would stage the Mother Truck at one location during the morning and another during the afternoon. Each location would only be used for a maximum of 4 hours, once a week. DISCUSSION: The Rolling Hills City Council approved 14 Mother Truck staging locations on February 22, 2010 with waste hauler Allied Waste. In 2018, the new waste hauler, Republic Services, and staff communicated about staging locations, and the City Manager noted only three locations primarily being utilized throughout the week - Georgeff Road, Southfield Drive/Packsaddle Road East, and Portuguese Bend Road (Attachments A and B). The 2010 approved thirteen staging locations are as follows by area: Area 1 Area 2 Area 3 Saddleback Rd. / Roadrunner Rd. Wagon Lane Georgeff Rd. Saddleback Rd. (Between 36 and 42) Caballeros Rd./Crest Rd. E Crest Road E / Eastfield Dr. Chuckwagon Rd./ Eastfield Dr. Outrider Rd. / Eastfield Dr. Southfield Dr./ Packsaddle Dr. E Southfield Dr. / Packsaddle Dr. E Portuguese Bend Rd. S / Ranchero Rd. Quailridge Rd. N Buggy Whip Dr. Johns Canyon Rd. Considering resident concerns, ongoing operation issues, and the length of time since the previous evaluation of staging sites, City staff, in collaboration with Republic Services' Operations Supervisor, reviewed existing approved staging locations and potential new locations over the past 15 months, in an attempt to minimize the impacts to residents in any one area. Testing was done at a variety of sites to determine whether the Mother Trucks and scooters could properly maneuver safely while attempting to avoid causing issues with traveling vehicles. Staff even worked with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District to use the Rancho Del Mar site as a potential staging location. Ultimately, after utilizing all locations (old and potential new sites), Republic operations have determined the following are now consistently working for weekly servicing at no more than a 4-hour window for any one location, once a week. New locations are highlighted: Service Day Time Location Mixed Service Waste Monday (AM) 7 am-11 am Roadrunner Rd. 24 Green Waste Monday (PM)12pm-4pm Poppy Trail (at Saddleback/PBR) Mixed Service Waste Tuesday (AM) 7am-11am 52 Portuguese Bend Rd.

Green Waste Thursday (PM) 12pm-4pm Caballeros / Crest Rd. E Mixed Service Waste Friday (AM)7am-10am Buggy Whip Dr. / Crest Rd. W Green Waste Friday (PM) 10am-4:30pm Southfield Dr. / Packsaddle Rd. E Mixed Service / Green Waste Saturday Open for Recovery Only Open Staff has received only one recent complaint from a resident at 4 Roadrunner Road (Attachment D) regarding the Roadrunner location. The Traffic Engineer has evaluated the new locations. Her report can be found as Attachment C. CONCLUSION Staff, along with the Solid Waste & Recycling Ad Hoc Committee, have worked to address resident concerns about Republic Services’ field operations by collaborating with the service provider, engaging the community, and exploring opportunities to expand and optimize Mother Truck staging site locations. The proposed strategy aims to increase the number of approved staging sites, thereby improving collection efficiency and minimizing neighborhood impacts. Today, staff seeks the Traffic Commission’s feedback and direction regarding the Mother Truck staging site locations. Based on the Commission’s input, staff will prepare a presentation for City Council consideration. Throughout this process, staff remain committed to keeping residents informed and involved, particularly those near any new proposed staging locations. FISCAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file. Provide direction to staff and recommendations to City Council. 25 ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A - CL_AGN_100222_CC_Item3H_FrontLoaderStaging_Request&Recs.pdf Attachment B - PW_REF_181003_RepublicServices_MotherTruck_StagingLocations.pdf Attachment C - CL_AGN_250522_TC_Republic_MotherTruckStaging_EngineersReport.pdf Attachment D - CL_AGN_250522_TC_Item11A_PublicComment_Tun.pdf 26 City of Rolling Hills INCORPORATED JANUARY 24, 1957 NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS, CA 90274 (310) 377-1521 FAX (310) 377-7288 - 1 - Agenda Item No.: 3-H Mtg. Date: 02-22-10 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: ANTON DAHLERBRUCH, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A TRAFFIC COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION OF STAGING LOCATIONS FOR THE REFUSE HAULER’S “MOTHER TRUCK”. DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 2010 ATTACHMENTS: 07-07-09 Memo from Traffic Engineer concerning staging locations 03-05-09 Memo from Traffic Engineer concerning staging locations Summary List of Recommended Staging Locations Notice Data for Addresses Adjacent to Proposed Staging Locations RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the Traffic Commission’s recommendation of 14 locations for Allied Waste to stage its “mother truck” (front loader) for the collection and transport of solid waste. BACKGROUND The City’s refuse hauler, Allied Waste, operates through “scouts” that collect refuse at each residence and transports it to a “mother truck” at a central location. The “mother truck” moves throughout each day to different locations in the City that are central to the collection efforts in a particular area the “scouts” are working. Allied Waste states that the “scouts,” for optimal operations, should cover an area consisting of 27 to 65 residences. As such, on each day refuse is collected, Allied Waste desires 7 to 8 locations where the “mother truck” can be strategically stationed. The “mother truck” would be (is) in each location for approximately 2 hours. 27 -2- Over the years, residents have complained about the staging location of the “mother truck” citing issues of noise, emissions, visual impact, leftover debris and leakage with the vehicles. To address the complaints, Allied Waste has reduced and relocated the “mother truck” staging locations to a point where, according to Allied Waste, operations have been impacted. Allied Waste reports that the reduction of staging locations has caused the “scouts” to cover 86 to 126 residences, drive longer from residences to the “mother truck” and, for the “mother truck” to be stationed in one location for extended periods of time. As such, Allied Waste has requested the formal designation of staging locations. In response to Allied Waste’s request, the City’s Traffic Engineer and City Manager, on multiple occasions toured the City with Allied Waste representatives to identify locations that served Allied Waste operationally while also addressing the Traffic Engineer’s concerns for traffic safety. Fourteen (14) locations were identified that met both parties’ interests. Thereafter, at its meetings of March 26, July 23 and September 24, 2009, and its meeting of January 28, 2010, the Traffic Commission considered Allied Waste’s request for approval of the 14 locations to stage the “mother truck.” For Traffic Commission meeting on March 26, 2009, notice of the agenda item was mailed to all residents adjacent to proposed staging locations and information about the meeting was included in the City Newsletter. In response, the Traffic Commission received input from residents about the locations at Portuguese Bend Road/Ranchero Road (for visibility); Crest Road East, east of Eastfield Drive (for noise and traffic); and Saddleback Road near Hillside Lane (for impact on horses). As a result, the Allied Waste representative and City Traffic Engineer re-evaluated the three locations for functionality, safety and alternatives. For the July 23, 2009 Traffic Commission meeting, notice of the agenda item was mailed to the resident from Portuguese Bend Road/Ranchero Road; the residents closest to the proposed staging location at Crest Road East; and the residents from 26 Saddleback Road to Hillside Lane. At the meeting, the Traffic Commission concluded that there was no alternative for the staging locations at Portuguese Bend Road/Ranchero Road and at Crest Road East and both represented the best functional location for Allied Waste, presented no traffic concern to the City Traffic Engineer and was not immediately adjacent to a residential structure (relative to noise). Additionally, it was noted without these staging locations, the impact of “scouts” traveling longer distances and the “mother truck” being stationed in one location longer is greater on the community. In regard to the Crest Road East site, Allied Waste proposed operating on the southside rather than the northside of the roadway. Also, in response to the residents of 76 Eastfield Drive, the Traffic Commission agreed to continue the discussion of this location to September 24. For the September 24, 2009 Traffic Commission meeting, notice of the agenda item was mailed to 76 Eastfield Drive, and two other residents who had expressed interest on the topic – a resident adjacent to Wagon Lane and a resident on Chuckwagon Road at 28 -3- Eastfield Drive. At the meeting, the Traffic Commission received input from the resident adjacent to Wagon Lane (32 Portuguese Bend Road) about the emissions generated from the “mother truck” when stationed on Wagon Lane, expressing concern about its health impacts. In response, Allied Waste reported that their vehicles meet the State’s emissions requirements and, replacement “mother trucks” would soon be employed that will reduce emissions further. Allied Waste and the Traffic Engineer also stated that there was no operational and safe alternative to this staging location. However, in recognition of the concern, staff was directed to re-consider locations. In regard to the Crest Road East staging location, the residents of 76 Eastfield Drive, who could not attend the meeting, asked that the matter be continued. For the January 28, 2010 Traffic Commission meeting, notice of the agenda item was mailed to 32 Portuguese Bend Road and 76 Eastfield Drive. With regard to the proposed staging location on Crest Road East, Allied Waste stated that it would be used on an as-needed basis and, when utilized, the “mother truck” would be stationed in a location to minimize the noise impact on the residence. Despite the resident’s desire to limit the number of days Allied Waste might use this area, the Traffic Commission supported this site as a staging location. DISCUSSION The Traffic Commission has reviewed and supports the 14 locations identified by Allied Waste and the City’s Traffic Engineer for staging the “mother truck” for the collection of solid waste. As such, the City Council is requested to consider and approve the Traffic Commission’s recommendation per Allied Waste’s request. NOTIFICATION Notice of this matter before the City Council has been provided to the community through the routine procedure of publishing the agenda in the citywide newsletter as well as through legal posting at City Hall. CONCLUSION Allied Waste is fully aware that they must keep their staging sites clear of debris and residue, contain refuse that falls out of their “scouts” and maintain their high quality service. Such conditions, in combination with the topography of the City and service levels desired by the community, leave few options for the method of refuse collection in the City. The “mother truck”/”scout” collection method of refuse collection appears the only functional means of collecting refuse at this time so designated staging locations are necessary. AD:hl 29 Page 1 Memorandum TO: Anton Dahlerbruch, City Manager FROM: Vanessa Munoz, City Traffic Engineer DATE: July 7, 2009 SUBJECT: Citywide Allied Waste “ Mother Truck” loading stationing areas This memo is in response to the Traffic Commissioner’s request to re-evaluate three (3) staging locations for the Allied Waste “Mother Truck.” The locations being re-evaluated are: • Area 1- Saddleback Road ( near Hillside) • Area 2 - Crest Road E. and Eastfield Drive • Area 3 - Portuguese Bend South and Ranchero Road On May 21, 2009, Sam Pena, from Allied Waste, and I went out and re-evaluated the three locations for: • Visibility for Allied Waste vehicles, other vehicles, pedestrians and equestrians; • Width of street; • Traffic volumes; • Driving distance for each Scout to the “Mother Truck” location; • Impact to passing traffic at each location. The Area 1 location of Saddleback Road (near Hillside) was re-evaluated. The main concern expressed by the resident of 3 Hillside Lane was that her horse would get easily scared when the “Mother Truck” parked between the Saddleback easement and the riding fence. The roadway characteristics along Saddleback Road in this particular area of the City allow for the truck to be stationed further north from this location. I recommend the “Mother Truck” be stationed between 36 and 42 Saddleback Road. This location provides visibility for vehicles, equestrian riders and the Allied Waste truck. The Area 2 location of Crest Road E. and Eastfield was re-evaluated. The main concern was noise and its proximity to the resident’s home. The parking of the truck on Eastfield Drive east of Crest Road is an acceptable location; the “Mother Truck” does not impede vehicle visibility and gives the Allied Waste vehicles easy access, the roadway has a low traffic volume and has the least impact to passing traffic. However, to accommodate the concerns of the residents, I recommend the truck be parked on the south side of Eastfield Drive. This should eliminate some of the noise and the truck would not be adjacent to the resident’s home. The Area 3 location of Portuguese Bend South and Ranchero Road was re-evaluated. The main concern was visibility for northbound traffic. The parking of the truck at the present location is an acceptable location. From my field observation the northbound traffic is able to see the truck 30 Page 2 Memorandum when driving up hill. Additionally, since drivers are traveling at low speeds due to the grade on the hill, most drivers have enough time to react and stop if needed. I also evaluated the recommendation of 52 Portuguese Bend Road south as a possible staging location, however the “Mother Truck” cannot park on dirt roads and unless this area gets asphalt it cannot serve as a staging area.

Date: 05/22/2025 TO:HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM:CHRISTIAN HORVATH, CITY CLERK / EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO CITY MANAGER THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING VEHICLES PARKED WITHIN ROADSIDE EASEMENTS AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC SAFETY IMPACTS ON MAJOR EVACUATION ROUTES AS WELL AS INGRESS/EGRESS ACCESS ON SMALLER ROADS DATE:May 22, 2025 BACKGROUND: In recent years, the topic of vehicular parking within roadside easements has been brought up by Commissioners under agenda item discussions or Matters from the Traffic Commission. At the March 27, 2025 Traffic Commission meeting, during the verbal report by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department (LASD), conversation ensued regarding parking within easements specific to potential issues or concerns on major evacuation routes (Portuguese Bend Road, Eastfield Drive and Crest Road) and questions as to whether the LASD issues citations for parked vehicles, per the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC), between 2am and 4am. As a result of the discussion between the LASD Deputy and Commissioners (Attachment A), LASD conducted proactive parking enforcement and issued parking citations along a variety of streets within Rolling Hills on April 9, 2025 between 2am and 4am. Staff was subsequently informed by residents expressing discontent with the ticketing and existing policy. DISCUSSION: Considering the expressed concerns specific to public safety, staff is bringing this item formally for discussion and/or direction as to whether the Traffic Commission would like to recommend potential changes to the existing Municipal Code (Attachment B) regarding: Parking within easements along major evacuation routes Parking within easements along narrow roads All-night parking Los Angeles County Fire and Sheriff Department representatives will be in attendance at the meeting to answer any potential questions. 60 FISCAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file. Provide direction to staff or continue the item to July when Vice Chair Bobit returns. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A - CL_AGN_250327_Item9A_DiscussionSummary.pdf RHMC_10.52_StoppingStanding&Parking.pdf 61 Summary of March 27, 2025 Traffic Commission discussion during the Presentation of Traffic Stats by Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department • Around the 7:40 mark – Vice Chair Bobit asked about whether parking citations were ever issued as he sees parking for extended periods of time along major routes and expressed concern about possible issues in the event of a potential evacuation. • Around the 8:34 mark – Deputy Lopez-Beltran noted that she could let the early morning shift know to give out citations during the 2am-4am window and maybe that would help out. • Around the 8:58 mark – Vice Chair Bobit reiterated his intent was “on the major routes… doesn’t mean going on every little street” that it might be helpful. • Around the 9:10 mark – Chair Wilson noted that he believed Deputies only responded if it was complaint driven, but he could be wrong. He assumed there was no reason a ticket could not be administered. • Around the 9:30 mark – Deputy Lopez-Beltran noted that in the past the LASD had received emails specific to overnight parking. But they had not received anything recently. She further stated that deputies could patrol. • Around the 9:59 mark – Vice Chair Bobit noted that it wouldn’t be high-priority, but if they were coming through to keep an eye out. • Around the 10:25 mark – Staff notes that previous conversations had been had by the commission related to overnight parking and that the Commission could have a broader discussion around parking at a future meeting with a safety nexus built in. 62 Title 10 - VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC Chapter 10.52 STOPPING, STANDING AND PARKING Rolling Hills, California, Code of Ordinances Created: 2025-02-10 14:50:15 [EST] (Supp. No. 29, Update 1) Page 1 of 8 Chapter 10.52 STOPPING, STANDING AND PARKING 1 Sections: 10.52.010 Applicability of regulations.

Date: 05/22/2025 TO:HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM:CHRISTIAN HORVATH, CITY CLERK / EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO CITY MANAGER THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: UPDATE ON EASTFIELD DRIVE SPEED LIMIT VARIANCE AND CURRENT SIGNAGE DATE:May 22, 2025 BACKGROUND: During the March 27, 2025 Traffic Commission meeting, Chair Wilson inquired about the disparity in speed limits signage along Eastfield Drive and requested an answer be brought back before the Commission. DISCUSSION: In March of 2018, Traffic Engineer Munoz presented an updated Engineering and Traffic Study (E&T) intended to be the basis for the establishment, revision, and enforcement of speed limits for selected streets within the City of Rolling Hills. The E&T survey presented speed limits for 8 street segments, one of which was Eastfield Drive. (Attachment B, pages 8- 10, Appendix A3-4, Appendix B3-4) The following is an excerpt specific to Eastfield Drive for Segments with Special Conditions: 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. Discussion and Action As noted above, the segment on Eastfield Drive from Chuckwagon Road to Palos Verdes Drive East was previously recommended to change from 25-mph to 30-mph. As a result, the street has two different speed limits, with Chuckwagon Road being the differentiating point. 71 After Chair Wilson's request to investigate, staff drove the length of Eastfield Drive to inspect all existing signage and noted that, when traveling southbound between Palos Verdes Drive East and Chuckwagon Road, there was one sign denoting the 30-mph speed limit, but it was too close to the end of that segment. There was no signage at Chuckwagon Road denoting the change in speed to 25 mph for the remainder of the southbound roadway until termination at Crest Road East. Traveling northbound, there was no 30-mph sign past Chuckwagon Road. Traffic Engineer Munoz has provided a report and recommendations (Attachment A). Staff recommends following the Engineer's Report recommendations. FISCAL IMPACT: The only fiscal impact would be the cost of purchasing and installing new signage. RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file. Direct staff to follow the Engineer's Report recommendations.

The 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey recommended posting a speed of 30 mph for this segment. However, Eastfield Drive has two speed segments. The 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey recommended posting speeds according to the table below: Street From To Recommended Speed Limit Eastfield Drive Crest Road East Chuckwagon Road 25 mph Eastfield Drive Chuckwagon Road Palos Verdes Drive East 30 mph The California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), Section 2B.13.03 and section 2B.13.04 titled Speed Limit Signs, states the following regarding sign placement “Speed Limit (R2-1) signs, indicating speed limits for which posting is required by law, shall be located at the points of change from one speed limit to another. At the downstream end of the section to which a speed limit applies, a Speed Limit sign showing the next speed limit shall be installed. Currently, there are three speed limit signs on Eastfield Drive between Crest Road and Palos Verdes Drive East, two 25 mph signs in the northbound direction and one 30 mph sign for the southbound direction. Based on field observations, the signs are not in the correct location and do not clearly indicate when the speed limit changes. To adhere to standard traffic engineering practices, I recommend doing the following installation, removal, and relocation of signs: Northbound Direction  Remove 25 mph sign at 54 Eastfield Drive  Install 30 mph sign north of Chuckwagon Road Southbound Direction  Relocate 30 mph sign at 33 Eastfield Drive to North of Hummingbird Lane  Install 25 mph sign south of Chuckwagon Road 73 Memorandum The recommendation for relocation, removal and installation of signs will clearly define the speed limit changes and inform drivers of the speed limits, in compliance with CA MUTCD standards. 74 Engineering and Traffic Survey March 2018 Prepared by: FOR THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS 75 March 14, 2018 Mr. Raymond R. 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. 78 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). 79 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. 80 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. 81 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. 82 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 83 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. 84 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 85 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. 87 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. 88 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. 89 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. 90 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. 91 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. 92 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 93 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. 94 2018 Engineering and Traffic Survey City of Rolling Hills APPENDIX A Street Segment Data 95 ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEYCITY 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.

The calibration of the units was checked before each series of measurements were taken. Tests of the unit were conducted in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. The K-55 Traffic Radar was last calibrated on March 14, 2016 by PB Electronics Inc. 123 124 125 126 127 Agenda Item No.: 12.B Mtg. Date: 05/22/2025 TO:HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM:CHRISTIAN HORVATH, CITY CLERK / EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO CITY MANAGER THRU:KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: UPDATE ON CREST ROAD WEST SPEED LIMIT BETWEEN CRENSHAW BLVD. AND GATE WITHIN THE RANCHO PALOS VERDES CITY LIMITS DATE:May 22, 2025 BACKGROUND: During the March 2025 Traffic Commission meeting, Chair Wilson inquired about the speed limit beyond the Crest Road West gate up to Crenshaw Blvd. Staff responded that they would inquire with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes (RPV). DISCUSSION: Staff contacted Ms. Deanna Fraley, PE, the new Principal / City Engineer for RPV. She shared the following information after performing field inspections. There is currently no signage on the RPV section of Crest Rd, east of Crenshaw. Technically, the last speed sign on Crest, travelling east, is 45 mph. At this time, RPV City Engineer Fraley would not advise adding additional signage east of Crenshaw from RPV to Rolling Hills for the following reasons: There is a school speed sign in front of the church. Around 550 east of that is a 25-mph curve warning sign. Around 850 feet east of the curve warning sign, there is the guardhouse. There is a 45-mph speed sign a couple of hundred feet west of Crenshaw, so RPV City Engineer Fraley does not believe another sign is necessary for vehicles travelling west. If the hope is to post a speed lower than 45mph, a speed study would need to be conducted. However, for the reasons listed above, RPV City Engineer Fraley is not sure new signage will help. FISCAL IMPACT: None. 128 RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file. ATTACHMENTS: 129
