PURPOSE
To recommend that the City Council authorize a Speed Hump
Installation Pilot Procram on residential streets, authorize the
City Manager or his cesignee to make the necessary funds
appropriations and transfers to implement the Speed Hump Pilot
Program, and that after a six month review, staff report back to

BACKGROUND
I'ho pn d.l .nu ul vnhi. .. ..v ,.I �. n ny iu !'ouldonLlal OLreaLe Ilan
become more pronounce, as evidenced by complaints received by
staff. One of the strategies being tested by municipalities is
the installation o£ speed humps in an effort to discourage
speeding in resident_'.! streets
ANALYSIS
At the present time, the State of California vehicle Codes does
not list speed humps as an official "traffic control devices" or
'roadway features'. Te State nas not developed policies,
procedures or designs for the installation of speed hurls.
Currently they are an experimental device.
Staff proposes a Saee_ Hum; Pilot Program in order to determine
the effects of speed humps on local traffic and whether the
installation of speed humps on local streets vill reduce
speeding. A traffic study will be conducted before and after
speed humps are insta_ led For the Pilot Program, in the
interim, the City ca= 'follow a similar policy as set by the City
of Compton (see attac=ed policy) During the study period, staff
car. modify the policy and desic: standards to meet the specific
needs of the City of _✓nwood A_ the end of a six (6) aOnth
period, staff will re=u_rn to the City Council with a report on
the program and the atoption of a City Policy on the installation
of speed humps.
Since the majority of speeding vehicle complaints have come from
residents of Palm Ave, from Builis Road to Muriel Drive, staff
proposes to test the =`_lot program at this location.
The cost estimate for the Pilot Program is $20,000. The City's
FY 1995 -96 Budget doe= not provide funds to finance this program.
City Councii car, app_=oriate $20,000 to finance this program.
RECONn_zNDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize a Speed Hump
Installation Pilot Prcgram on residential streets, authorize the
City Manager or his designee tc make the necessary fund=_
appropriations and tr�sfers to implement the Speed Hum Pilot
Program, and that after a six month review, staff report back to

E7CHIBIT "A"
POLICY ON SPEED HUKPS
Speed humps are an appropriate mechanism f- 1 :red%:cing speeds on
-certain streets when properly installer urde= the right
circumstances.
Speed humps can be considered for installation when the
'benefits normally derived by residents fro= a local residential
street are significantly dininished by the speed of traffic
(even though there have been few or no reperted accidents), as
evidenced by a substantial- majority of abutting residences
signing a petition for the installation of speed humps.
Speed humps should only be used on local residential streets
(i.e., streets where the primary function is to provide access
to abutting residences). Experience has shown that the average
motorist reduces speed to approximately 16nph to traverse a 3-
inch speed hump. It would not be realistic to expect motorists
on streets intended to serve more than just abutting residences _
to reduce speeds to 16mph every 300 :eet or so. Such
installations would inevitably lead to extreme driver
frustration and substantial negative public reaction to the
concept of using speed humps for speed control, even at
locations where they - are clearly appropriate. Installation of
speed humps on streets other than local residential streets
could have potentially severe traffic safety consequences,
almost certainly affect emergency services and other service
delivery activities, and likely create the diversion of large
amounts of through traffic onto local residential streets which
were not intended for that purpose.
The majority of street mileage in Compton can clearly be
classified as local residential streets. Eowever, speed humps
will not normally be considered for streets which are
classified- as collector streets or higher in the City's General
Plan, or which are determined to provide a transportation
service to the community beyond that of si.sply providing access
to the immediate abutting residences. 7-here is no absolute
criteria that clearly distinguishes a purely local residential
-•- street from other relatively low - volume streets that provide
important services to residents in addition to those
immediately abutting the street in questicn. However, streets
carrying less than 1,000 vehicles per de?, are almost. always
local residential streets, and streets carrying over 3,000
vehicles per day almost always provide important services to
the larger community. In the final analysis, the suitability
of ra particular street for the installation of speed humps will
have to be determined on a case -by -case basis.
® •
Speed humps should be installed on logical segments of local
residential streets. They will not normally be installed in
isolated blocks along a continuous street, or on relatively
short (less than 800 feet) cul -de -sac streets. A substantial
majority of residents on logical continuous segments of a local
residential street must support the installation of speed
humps. Logical segments are considered to be segments between
arterial streets or between natural discontinuities, such as
jogs in the street. The cost of installing speed humps on
relatively short cul -de -sac streets, cannot normally be
justified.
Streets eligible for the installation of speed humps shall meet -
the following criteria:
1. Have a speed limit of 25mph as determined in accordance
with State Law. The need to reduce speed substantially at
speed humps would , not make these devices appropriate for
streets posted Higher than 25mph because of the severe
speed differential such an installation would create along
the street. Severe differentials between the speed of the
vehicles on a street are known to contribute to traffic
accidents.
2. The street shall be no more than one lane in each
direction. -
3. The street should not be a truck route or a transit route.
4. The street should not have grades greater than 5%.
Proposed policies 1 through 4 above are identical to
recommendations made by the California Traffic Control Devices
Committee on Pavement Undulations, and are based on the best
information currently available.
Speed humps will onlyibe considered for installation on local
residential streets determined by the Public Works Department
to have adequate vertical and horizontal alignment and sight
distances to safely accommodate the installation of speed
humps. The street should not -be a primary access route for
emergency vehicles. Factors to be considered are:
1. Whether the street is a primary route for 'emergency
vehicles;
I. Whether the installation of speed humps could cause a
significant delay in the response emergencies.
Speed humps are still an experimental roadway feature;
therefore, additions, alterations, or removal of any or all
speed humps may occur at any time.
INSTA A =ON OF SPEED E S
The council's adopted policies and r_oced:= es for the
installation of speed harps will be n_ =e avai:able to all
interested parties.
A representative of a local residentia: street who believes
the residents on his street will support the installation of speed
humps, will submit a request in writing to the Engineering Division
which will consult with tha Polica and Fira Dapartneata in making
a determination of whether the street in question is eligible for
further consideration for the installation of speed humps .(i.e.,
the street is consistent with the City Council's policies for the
installation of speed humps).
Upon determination that a street is rot eligible for speed
humps, the representatives) of the street will be notified in
writing giving the reason why the street is not eligible. The
representatives) of the street will be given fifteec (15) days to
appeal the decision in. writing to the City Engineer. A report of
those streets determined to be ineligible will be seat to the City
Manager for distribution to the City Council. Staff will review
the original determination of streets which are appealed. If staff
concludes their original decision is still valid, staff will
present the appeal to the City Council for final determination if
representatives of the street wish the matte= to be referred to the
City Council.
Upon determination that a street is eligible for further
consideration, the representative of the street will be advised to
submit a petition (forms provided by the C_ty) fro= the abutting
property owners or residents indicating that a clear majority (65t
or more) support the installation of speed h=ps on their street.
The petition forms provided by the City will state:
1. I£ there is subsequently a desire by residents to remove
the speed humps, the humps will cnly be considered for
removal after receipt of a petition fr= a substantial
majority (65% or more) asking for the re=cval; and,
2. Petition to be filed along with s funds for the
removal of the speed hump (up to a naximv- of $1,000 per
speed hump).
The sponsor of the petition is re " T ed -.to contact every
resident of the abutting properties on the subject street. If a

ponent to date of "Smog Check II;' which
shifts the focus of California's vehicle emis-
sions control program from biennial vehi-
cle testing to a year -round clean -air effort.
The devices also bring high - technology to
the war against air pollution. RSDs com-
bine infrared technology with high -speed
video photography to identify the highest-
emitting vehicles on the road.
When the RSD units begin their enforce.

Identifying polluters
K. Mal uu Kellen, chief of the Dep,u uncut
of Consumer Affans /Bureau of Automotive
Repair said, "RSDs will help us identify the
15 percent of the cars in the state which
produce the greatest amount of pollution.
It's vital that we identify the high - emitting
vehicles, and assist their owners in bringing
them up to emissions standards."
The RSDs currently deployed in
California's major metropolitan areas are
not yet engaged in identifying "gross pol-
luters" —the cars with the dirtiest exhausts.
Rather, they ,ue collecting data designed its
determine the best locations in which to
position the devices in order to most accu-
rately measure vehicle emissions
The sites are determined through a com-
plex formula which takes into account such
factors as the amount of traffic, whether
most vehicles passing the site tend to be
cruising, accelerating or Jcn•Icn allot;, and
the slope of the roadway.
The RSD units, housed inside hailers or
vans, have in recent weeks drawn the atten-
stay 13, 1996
lion of passing motorists and traffic re-
porters, and have sparked sonic concern
about Increased traffic congestion.
Keller urged motorists to show their sup-
port for the Smog Check ❑ program by
driving past the units without slowing to
inspect them.
