MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 16, 2016
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Bryan Cook, City Manager
Via: Michael D. Forbes, AICP, Community Development Director
By: Andrew J. Coyne, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES FOR GIDLEY STREET
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council is requested to adopt Resolution 16-5195 (Attachment "A") approving
the following traffic calming measures for Gidley Street and directing staff to include a
budget allocation for these improvements as part of the first quarter budget adjustments
for Fiscal Year 2016-17:
a) Installation of a yellow dashed thermoplastic centerline striping along Gidley
Street;
b) Installation of speed limit signs with thermoplastic speed pavement legends;
c) Repainting of the existing thermoplastic stop pavement legend and stop bar at the
intersection of Gidley Street and Cloverly Avenue;
d) Installation of a "cross traffic does not stop" plaque underneath the southbound
stop sign on Cloverly Avenue approaching Gidley Street; and
e) Replacement of the existing stop sign on Cloverly Avenue approaching Gidley
Street with a larger 48" stop sign .
BACKGROUND:
1. In March 2016, staff received a request from a business owner on Gidley Street
that the City consider installing traffic calming measures on Gidley Street to
address vehicles speeding on the street.
2. In March 2016, the City's contract traffic engineer (Transtech) conducted a radar
speed survey, obtained average daily traffic (ADT) data, and collected accident
data for Gidley Street, west of Temple City Boulevard. Transtech used this data to
----------·

analyze the traffic along Gidley Street and determine what traffic calming
measures might be warranted.
3. On April 20, 2016, Transtech prepared a memo presenting the resu lts of their
study (Attachment "B").
4. On June 22, 2016, at its regularly held meeting, the Transportation and Public
Safety Commission reviewed the traffic study prepared by Transtech and
recommended that it be brought before the City Council for review and approval.
ANALYSIS:
The following is a summary of the traffic study for Gidley Street that was reviewed by
the Transportation and Public Safety Commission at its meeting on June 22, 2016. Per
Section 2-6E-7 of the Temple City Municipal Code, the Transportation and Public
Safety Commission "shall receive and investigate citizen complaints pertaining to
vehicular traffic and pedestrian safety concerns, and when deemed necessary by the
commission, report the commission's findings and recommendations to the City
Council." The Commission is recommending that the City Council approve the
recommended measures, which are described in a memo prepared by Transtech.
Below are the details about the data collected and their find ings and recommendations:
• Land use along Gidley is mostly heavy and light manufacturing with some single
family residential. Parking is permitted on both sides of the street with 2 hour
parking restrictions from 7:00am-6:00pm;
• There are no posted speed limit signs along Gidley Street;
• A radar speed survey found that the 851h percentile speed of vehicles is 26.5
mph; the prima facie speed limit is 25 mph;
• Accident data showed that no accidents had occurred on Gidley Street in the
past 5 years, which is below the expected accident rate compared to similar
roadways; and
• The traffic engineers determined that the conditions on Gidley Street and
Cloverly Avenue did not meet the criteria for installation of all-way stop control.
However, they did conclude that traffic calming devices would be effective in
slowing down traffic on the street.
After considering the existing roadway conditions and operations, Transtech
recommends that the following traffic calming measures be implemented:
• Targeted police enforcement;
City Council

Page 3 of 3
• Installation of a yellow dashed thermoplastic centerline striping along Gidley
Street;
• Installation of speed limit signs with thermoplastic speed pavement legends;
• Repainting of the existing thermoplastic stop pavement legend and stop bar at
the intersection of Gidley Street and Cloverly Avenue; and
• Installation of a "cross traffic does not stop" plaque underneath the southbound
stop sign on Cloverly Avenue approaching Gidley Street.
Since the current posted speed limit on Gidley Street west of Temple City Boulevard is
consistent with the 851h percentile speed and the collision rate is lower than the
expected rate for a street carrying this volume of traffic, the recommended traffic
calming measures should serve to slow traffic and make drivers more aware of the
speed limit. In addition, the Transportation and Public Safety Commission is also
recommending that the stop sign on Cloverly Avenue approaching Gidley Street be
replaced with a larger 48" stop sign that would be more visible to drivers than the
current sign.
CITY STRATEGIC GOALS:
Implementation of the traffic calming measures for Gidley Street furthers the City's
Strategic Goal of Public Health and Safety.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Transtech estimates that the cost to install the striping, signs, and pavement markings
is about $7,500. Funding for these improvements is not identified in the Fiscal Year
2016-17 City Budget. If approved, staff will include a budget allocation for these
improvements as part of the first quarter budget adjustments for Fiscal Year 2016-17.

BOULEVARD
INTRODUCTION
On behalf of the City of Temple City, Transtech staff has complet ed a traffic analysis to evaluate
a request for traffic calming measures on Gidley Street west of Temple City Boulevard. This
segment of roa dway is comprised of mostly commercial use and some residential use with
eastbound stop co ntrol at Gidley Street and Temple City Boulevard, and southbound stop control
at Gidley Street and Cloverly Avenue. A business owner at 9620 Gidley Street has indicated that
vehicles are trave ling at high speeds and street racing along Gidley Street. The business owner
has requested the City to consider the installation of speed humps/cushions or other traffic
ca lming measures along this segment of Gidley Street. Currently the City does not have a speed
hump/speed cushion policy in place so alternate traffic calming measures have been assessed .
Please refer to Figure 1: Vicinity Map for the request location.

RADAR SPEED SURVEY
To determine actual speeds along Gid ley Street, a radar speed survey was conducted on Gidley
Street west of Temple City Boulevard during 8:00 am to 9:00 am on a typical weekday. Radar
speed measurements were co nducted during the month of March 2016. In addition, field data
was also collected, including visibility restrictions, roadway conditions, pedestrian activities, on-
st reet parking and land use adjacent to t he roadways. The radar measurements followed
guidelines and procedures outlined in the eve Sections 627, 21400, 22358 and t he CAMUTCD
28.13. Speed sa mples w ere taken from an unmarked vehicl e so as not to alter or impede the
free flow of traffic. A total of at least 80 sa mples were obtained for the time period surveyed.

ACCIDENT RATE FOR GIDLEY STREET
As seen below t he actual mid block collision rate for this roadway is 0, which is below the expected
accident rate compared to similar roadways. This is based on the number of collisions Rer million
vehicle miles, the average daily traffic and length of the roadway.
Actual Collision Rate = #Co llision x 106
ADT X (Years) X 365 X (Miles)
0 X 1,000,000
595 X 5 X 365 X .30 = 0
0 X 1,000,000
501 X 5 X 365 X .08 = 0
Expected Collision Rate for an urban local Roadway is 2.611
ALL-WAY STOP CONTROL WARRANTS AT GIDLEY STREET AND CLOVERLY AVENUE
To determine if any additional stop control on Gidley Street is warranted, all-way stop warrants
were run for the intersection of Gidley Street and Cloverly Avenue. The criteria for placement of
all-way stop control is set by the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(CAMUTCD).
The placement of All-Way stop control is warranted when2:
• Traffic control signals are justified
• A crash problem exists as indicated by 5 or more accidents in a 12-month period
• Minimum Vol umes are met:
• Volume entering the intersections from the major approach (total of both approaches)
averages 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day. And
• Th e combined veh icle, pedestrian and bicycle volumes entering the intersection from the
minor street approaches averages at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hours.
• If the 85th percentile approach speed of the major-street exceeds 40 mph, the minimum
volumes are 70 percent of the above values.
Other criteria that may be considered in an engineering study include:

• The need to control left turn conflict
• The need to co ntrol vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations generating high
pedestrian volumes
• Locations where a road user, after stopping ca nnot see conflicting traffic and is not able
to safely negotiate the intersection unless conflicting traffic is also required to stop.
• An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar
design and operating cha racteristics where multiway stop control would improve traffic
operational characteristics of the intersection.
The City of Temple City follows State policies including the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and the
Ca lifornia Manuel of Uniform Traffic Co ntrol Devices (CAM UTCD), which cover all aspects of the
placement, construction and maintenance of official traffic control devices.
The following information was used in determining if the intersection met warrants for all-way

TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES AND STRATEGIES
Traffic ca lming is the process of reducing vehicle speeds through the use of both passive devices,
such as signs and striping, and physical devices such as changes in road elevation or path. As pa rt
of this study, traffic speeds, accident rates, and traffic volumes were used to assess existing
conditions along this segment. There are a number of ways to address traffic speeds. The type,
design and place ment of traff ic calming devices depend upon the road class ification, desired
traffic speed and types of traffic issues along the corridor.
A single traffic calming device placed along a long stretch of road will be margina lly effective at
slowing down speeds at that isolated location. Implementation of a series of tra ffic calming
devices that work toget her will effective ly slow down traffic speeds along the length of the
CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
Transtech Engineers, Inc. I Page 12 of 19
Review of Traffic Conditions Along Gidley Street West of Temple City Boulevard
corridor. There are various traffic calming measures that can reduce the flow and speed of traffic
on a street. Some of these are:
1} Signage and Pavement Legends: Modifying the signage along the road or changing the
striping to narrow travel lanes effectively slow speeds by changing the travel environment.
Narrower lanes create "friction" and thereby cause Drivers to travel at a slower pa ce. Signs
alert the Driver to their speed, such as larger speed limit signs or a speed feedback sign. Too
many signs can have an opposite effect on traffic. Therefore, usage of signs should be subject
to careful consideration and compliance with local and regional standards. Speed and stop
ahead legends alert the drivers of a change in traffic cond itions. Speed limit signs and striped
speed limit pavement "messages," either used separately or as a combination, are one of the
most cost effective measures in increasing awareness of motorists t raveling through a
neighborhood street. These two devices do not have glaring negative impacts as far as air
quality, emergency response time, maintenance, and liability exposure.
2} Larger Dimension Sign s: Installation of larger dimensioned signage are recommended as
treatments to increase the motorist's awareness and other Driver conditions by highlighting
various areas of the roadway. All sign dimensions should comply with the dimensions
specified in the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD} Table 2B-1
Regulatory Sign and Plaque Sizes. The larger sizes are shown in the multi-lane column as
36"x36" for stop signs and 30"x36" for speed limits.

3) Targeted Police Enforcement: The police department deploys officers to perform
enforcement on residential streets for at least an hour a day. The goal is to make Drivers
aware of the speed limits and reduce speeds. This requires the cooperation and dedication
of police enforcement. This ha s been shown to be a good spot enforcement technique.

RECOMMENDATIONS
After careful review of existing roadway conditions and operations, staff has determined that the
segment of Gidley Street west of Temple City Boulevard should include the following traffic
ca lming measures to address speed concerns along the seg ment:
1) Targeted Police Enforcement: The police department should be made aware of speeding
conce rns along this segment of roadway and se nd officers to perform spot enforcement
to aid and increase drivers' awareness of the speed limits.
2} Yellow Dashed Centerline St riping along Gidley Street (Thermoplastic): There is no
existing centerline stripe along Gid ley Street, striping will help give the perception of a
narrower roadway width and will add more visibility for the driver.
3} Inst all Speed Limit Signs with Speed Pave ment Legends (Thermoplastic): There are no
existing speed limit signs nor speed limit pavement legends on Gidley Street and Clove rly
Avenue. Speed limit signs with speed limit pavement legends should be instal led on the
north side of Gidley Street entering from Temple City Boulevard for westbound traffic, on
t he south side of Gidley Street east of Cloverly Avenue for eastbound traffic, and on west
side of Cloverly Avenue entering from Lower Azusa Rd for s.outhbound traffic. This is
recommende d as a treatment to increase motorist's awareness of traveling through a
neighborhood st reet.
4} Repaint STOP Pavement Legend and STOP Bar in (Thermoplastic):
• Repaint existing STOP pavement legend and STOP bar at Gidley Street and Cloverly
Avenue intersection. The existing STOP pavement legend and STOP bar are faded.
5} "Cross Traffic Does Not Stop" Plaque (W4-4P):
• "Cross Traffic Does Not Stop" plaque shoul d be installed underneath the stop sign
for the southbound direction on Cloverly Avenue approaching Gidley Street.
