Emphasis Areas
Emphasis areas were selected based on the “Challenge Areas” identified in 2020-2024 California SHSP and the results of the collision data review. The following 4 emphasis areas were identified, which support the SHSP high pri ority areas o f Active Transportation: Pedestrians & Bicyclists; Impaired Driving; Intersections; Lane Departures; Speed Management/Aggressive Driving as well as the SHSP focus areas for Distracted Driving; Emergency Response; Emerging Technologies, and Young Drivers (15-20):
1. Improper Turning
2. Unsafe Speed
3. Right-of-Way Violation / Failure to Yield
4. Driving Under the Influence / Distracted Driving
The following provides the strategies and goals for each of the four each of the four empha sis areas.
Improper Turning Collisions
Collisions involving improper turning typically involve failure to yield the right -of-way to either oncoming or crossing traffic. That failure to yield can be to other motorists, pedestrians, or bicyclists. These types of collisions can also result in roadway departures of vehicles for various reasons. Vehicles departing the roadway can become overturned, strike fixed objects along the roadway, or can include head‐on and sideswipe collisions with other vehicles. Intersections and street access, such as driveway s, may or may not always be a factor in improper turning collisions, though often improper turning at intersections can result in more severe collisions due to vehicle speeds and the presence of pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the street . A challenge for law enforcement is to determine if an improper turning collision was from distracted driving or other factor since narratives without any other neutral observer may not indicate cell phone or electronic device usage prior to collision.
Other notes from the collision data on improper turning collisions include:
• Nearly 30% of all crashes from 2016‐2020 were improper turning crashes • 63% of all crashes from 2016‐2020 occurred within 150’ of an intersection
City of Jurupa Valley
Local Roadway Safety Plan
May 2022
Strategies for Emphasis Area 1:
• Education
- Engagement with Sheriff, RUHS, JUSD, community groups, and Public Works to share materials and knowledge to increase public awareness of road safety. - Target the distractions created by cell phone or electronic device use while operating a motor vehicle, and the likelihood of anyone being involved in a collision due to cell phone/electronic device usage.
- Encourage the public to report incidents of failing to stop at stop sign and traffic signals to collect statistical data on high violation areas.
• Enforcement
- Saturated patrols to areas susceptible to distracted driving or where collision or traffic report data indicates regular incidents of failure to yield collisions, including failing to stop for stop signs and signals.
• Engineering
- Public Works add improved signage retroreflectivity, add left turn lane pockets, guardrail improvements, improved thermoplastic striping and markings, clearing of roadside obstacles, intersection improvements, provide appropriate width travel lanes to control speeds, and widening shoulders in an incremental systemic approach. Whenever possible widen shoulders at least 4‐6 feet to provide improved access to bicycles.
- Public Works provid e improved clear zone/sight distance, left tur n pockets, and/or roundabouts along high incidents streets including Limonite Avenue, Mission Boulevard, and Rubidoux Boulevard.
- Close the median opening at the Van Buren Boulevard and 56 th Street intersection to prohibit uncontrolled left turns and extend the southbound acceleration and deceleration lanes.
- Complete the five -lane cross -section of Rubidoux Boulevard between 20 th Street and 30th Street.
- Install larger mast arm left -turn signs at signalized interse ctions where collisions have been identified, especially for protected -permissive left turn locations.
- Review intersection lighting at high-incident locations.
• Emergency Services
- Ensure Opticom systems are updated and operating correctly at all signalized intersections.
- Review need for signals at fire station driveways.
City of Jurupa Valley
Local Roadway Safety Plan
May 2022
Goals for Emphasis Area 1:
• Reduce the percentage of all improper turning and failure-to-yield collisions by 15‐ 20% and reduce the number of collisions resulting in death or severe injury by 10% by 2027.
• Reduce property damage to city assets by 20% due to collisions by 2025. • Work with RCSD and community groups on promoting driver safety information and training/defensive driving courses for residents to increase safe driving habits.
Unsafe Speeds Collisions
Speeding is an issue that results in multiple collision types and is manifested on various types of streets. In low speed residential neighborhoods unsafe speed can result in sideswiping of parked cars, striking roadside objects, collisions with pedestrian s and bicyclists, and broadside collisions with vehicles entering and existing side streets and driveways. On higher speed arterials, collisions involving unsafe speeds with typically result in more severe injuries and fatalities. These collisions involve roadway departures with vehicle rollovers or collisions with fix objects. As traffic volumes increase in the region, congestion has resulted in diverting overflow traffic from congested Caltrans freeways during peak hours onto the connecting city streets. Drivers then attempt to make up lost time by speeding along city streets.
A national trend however is the increase in aggressive driving combined with excessive speed. This has contributed to more collisions with both increased severity and ancillary damages. As driving is a goal‐oriented activity, with the purpose of arriving at a destination quickly, when combined with technology making automobiles more comfortable and powerful than ever before this has contributed to increased collisions .
Traffic collisions that occur close to intersections also could indicate instances of excessive speeding and/or distracted driving and the increased likelihood of a roadway lane departure, rear‐end or head‐on collisions.
Strategies for Emphasis Area 2:
• Education
- All stakeholders have open discussions with targeted groups likely to exhibit forms of unnecessary risky driving (young drivers).
- Obtain safety materials published by Caltra ns, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and other organizations and post information on the city’s website and distribute to other organizations and community groups promoting slower vehicle speeds and the hazards of speeding , especially to targeted drivers (young drivers).
City of Jurupa Valley
Local Roadway Safety Plan
May 2022
- Work with RCSD and JUSD on promotion of responsible driving to school - aged drivers.
• Enforcement
- High Visibility Enforcement / Saturated Patrols
- Assist with identifying specific travel corridors with unsafe speeding and passing through citation history
• Engineering
- Identify corridors where excessive speeding and unsafe passing is likely to take place through RCSD citation history, roadway evidence (such as skid marks for rapid breaking, pavement rutting on the outside of curves, worn centerline markings, or high incidences of sign knockdowns or guardrail/fencing strikes), and concerned input through citizen/elected officials.
- Review high incident corridors, especially school areas, for implementation of traffic calming and traffic control devices for reducing speeds. - Prepare new street section standards that incorporate narrower streets and Local Street and intersection traffic calming.
- Identify locations for pilot project mini roundabouts, speed humps, and chicanes to reduce traffic speeds.
- Install sidewalks in areas where travel speeds are incompatible with pedestrian activity.
- Public Works to provide improved clear zone/sigh t distance, left turn pockets, reduce the number of roadside objects and hazards, improve/provide guardrails in areas with departure issues, and/or roundabouts along high incidents streets including Limonite Avenue, Mission Boulevard, and Rubidoux Boulevard.
- Work with Caltrans on expansion of ramp areas to provide necessary capacity to limit diversion of overflow traffic to city streets. - Public Works to review traffic management options, including traffic signal synchronization programs, and search for available funding to implement programs that allow for effective traffic flow yet reduce instances of aggressive driving.
- Incorporate traffic calming feature and Complete Streets designs into all new development activity.
- Review the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to identify priority locations based on collision and citation data.
• Emergency Services

City of Jurupa Valley
Local Roadway Safety Plan
May 2022
- Assist in identifying options for enforcement of speeds in residential neighborhoods.
Goals for Emphasis Area 2:
• Circulate informational material on distracted & aggressive driving to promote safe driving practices in Jurupa Valley by 2025.
• Observe a reduction of unsafe speed / right of way collisions resulting in death or severe injury by 15% by 2027.
• Increase awareness of aggressive driving habits through a collaborative public awareness campaign.
• Improve driver perceptions of safety through reviewing Yolo County Public Works capital improvement projects.
Right-of-Way / Failure to Yield Collisions
These types of collisions are similar to the improper turning collisions discussed above in Emphasis Area 1. These collisions, however, do not involve the violating vehicle turning or changing streets. They are most often the at -fault driver running a stop sign or traffic signal or failing to yield to another driver backing out of a driveway. These collisions are often exacerbated by excessive or unsafe speeds by the drivers and/or a lack of attention to their surroundings or distracted driving. Collison reduction strategies can include increasing the conspicuity of others at high collision locations and of roadside objects and hazards. Reducing driver overload is also important. When drivers have too much information to process they often can miss key information that would allow them to avoid a collision.
Strategies for Emphasis Area 3:
• Education
- Engage stakeholders in open discussions with targeted groups likely to exhibit forms of unnecessary risky driving (especially young drivers). - Provide materials prepared by FHWA, NHTSA, and other sources on the dangers of aggressive and distracted driving to community groups.
• Enforcement
- High Visibility Enforcement / Saturated Patrols
- Assist with identifying specific locations with a citation and/or collision history.
City of Jurupa Valley
Local Roadway Safety Plan
May 2022
• Engineering
- Identify corridors and intersections where excessive vehicle right-of-way collisions occur by annually reviewing the top collision locations in the city. - Identify and document unreported collision locations by identifying roadway evidence such as skid marks, damage on the outside of curves, worn centerline markings, or high incidences of sign and signal knockdowns or guardrail/fencing strikes.
- Public Works provide regular maintenance of vegetation blocking sight lines at intersection and signs or signals.
- Maintain and refresh signs and pavement markings at or approaching intersections.
- Review sight lines at intersections and restrict on-street parking near intersections that will restrict adequate visibility.
- Review development plans and construction and update development standards to ensure that driveways are not placed too close to intersections so as to limit sight distances.
- Use corner bumpouts at Collector and Local Street intersections to increase the visibility of pedestrians preparing to cross the street. - Use colored bike lane boxed near intersection to alert motorists that the travel paths of bicyclists may cross with turning vehicles. - Provide pedestrian-actuated crossing controls at uncontrolled high activity crossings. Use leading pedestrian intervals at signalized intersections where there is regular pedestrian activity.
- Use larger-than-standard mast arm signage at signalized intersections that have protected-permissive left-turn operations.
Goals for Emphasis Area 3:
• Circulate informational material on distracted & aggressive driving to promote safe driving practices in Jurupa Valley through Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, the city website, social and religious groups, businesses serving alcohol in the city, and social networks.
• Observe a reduction of unsafe speed/right-of-way collisions resulting in death or severe injury by 15% by 2025.
• Increase awareness of aggressive driving habits through a collaborative public awareness campaign.
• Reduce property damage to city assets by 20% due to collisions by 2025.

Driving Under the Influence and Distracted Driving Collisions
In multiple locations, driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, both recreational and prescription, has remained a challenge in traffic safety. As a primary collision factor, DUIs also will typically involve dangerous secondary collision factors. In reviewing DUI collision incidents in Jurupa Valley, the percentage of DUI collisions represents the amount of collisions involving DUI over the total number of collisions for each type for that year.
Of the DUI related collisions between 2016 and 2020:
• 26.9% (22/82) of all injury (KABC) collisions
• 15.9% of all fatal/severe injury collisions (22/138)
• Occur primarily on weekends (Friday‐Sunday)
• The number of DUI involved collisions has doubled in the last 5 years from a low of 46 in 2017 to 100 collisions in 2020.
Strategies for Emphasis Area 4:
• Education
- All stakeholders continued support of education, emergency, and enforcement efforts with the RCSD and the Office of Traffic Safety for grants to bring DUI and distracted driving education to local schools. - Support of mandatory treatment programs, peer group counseling for prior DUI offenders.

- Continued efforts to describe adverse effects of alcohol and drug abuse and its consequences on the roads.
- Circulate informational material on distracted & impaired driving to promote safe driving practices in Jurupa Valley through Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, the city website, social and religious groups, businesses serving alcohol in the city, and social networks.
- Work with RUHS and Jurupa Unified School District on the distribution of materials to teens on the effects and consequences of DUI and distracted driving and riding with impaired/distracted drivers.
• Enforcement
- Continue high-visibility enforcement.
- Support RCSD efforts to obtain OTS grants for DUI checkpoints.
• Engineering
- Increasing the clear recovery zones, when funding and right of way is available, could reduce the severity of collisions by providing an area clear of fixed objects if a vehicle leaves the roadway.
- Adding or upgrading guardrail and end treatments.
- Improved marking and signage especially on curves.
- Improved lighting at intersections or horizontal curves.
Goals for Emphasis Area 4:
• Reduce the number of persons killed and severely injured in alcohol/drug- involved collisions to less than 5% of all collisions by 2025. • Prepare and provide driver educational materials on the city website and via handouts for distribution to stakeholders to community groups. • Identify locations where concentrations of alcohol and/or drug-impaired drivers have been cited or involved in collisions.

Section 7.
Implementation of Countermeasures
This penultimate step of the safety plan is determining and implementing the identification of specific projects and their priority for implementation of each project, or subsequently additional or modified projects.
Prioritization Strategy
The prioritization of the projects and initiatives identified in this report will be developed through a multi-tasked approach. Some initiatives will be implemented through changes to policies and standards along with regular reporting mechanisms. Others will be through programmed cap ital projects and companion efforts with area development and redevelopment projects. Yet others will be via grant -funded opportunities and can be advanced as funding is provided. Development of the Jurupa Valley LRSP qualifies the city for eligibility to receive Caltrans Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funding for roadway safety infrastructure at signalized intersections, non -signalized intersections, and roadway segments. Up to 90% of project costs for preliminary engineering (PE), right-of-way (ROW), and construction (CON) phases would be awarded for BCR applications and between $250,000 and $1 million would be available for each set-aside funding category: guardrail upgrades, pedestrian crossing enhancements, installing edgelines, and bicycle safety improvements.
Through the collision data, and statistical evidence (e.g. RCSD incident reports, and an expectation of higher traffic volume locations) staff ca n identify where our safety stakeholders can focus implementation of safety countermeasures in engineering, enforcement, education, and emergency services.
Recommended Projects Incorporating Proven Countermeasures
Based on the strategies for the emphasis areas and the countermeasures listed in the previous sections, the projects/efforts listed in Table 10 are recommended to reduce collisions and provide for safer streets for all users.
The timing and priority of these projects will be determined based on the availability of implementation funding, opportunities to combine activities with new development and/or other capital projects, and the regular review of the plan’s effectiveness.

Capital Improvement Projects
The City of Jurupa Valley Capital Improvement Program (CIP) has many upcoming projects that aim to improve public safety on its road infrastructure network. Some of these projects either include or have the potential to include traffic safety devices and proven countermeasures to assist in addressing the issues identified in the previous report sections. A copy of the current CIP infrastructure program is included in the Appendix.
Key CIP and development -related projects that implement various street improvements and countermeasures include the following:
CIP Projects
Market Street Bridge Replacement
Replace the Santa Ana River bridge and widen Market Street to four lanes plus left turn lanes from north of Rivera Street in Riverside to north of 24 th Street/Via Cerro. Provide wider shoulders and a pedestrian walkway.
Mission Boulevard Bridge Replacement
Replace the bridge over the Santa Ana River east of Crestmore Road and add a Class IV cycle track to the south side of the bridge and provide raised median.
HSIP Citywide Fiber Optic and Reflective Border Signal Backing Plate Modification Project Develop citywide fiber optic interconnect between traffic signals to allow for adaptive traffic signal interconnect and add reflective border traffic signal backing plates on all traffic signals.
HSIP Citywide Guardrail Upgrade Project
Replace out-of-date existing guardrails in various locations within t he city with current Caltrans standard Midwest Guardrail Design sections and attenuators.
Development Projects
Rubidoux Boulevard and 20th Street/Market Street Intersection Modification Add second turn lanes, remove freeflow right-turn lane, and remove median -mounted traffic signal poles and setback corner poles to reduce roadside hazards.
High Visibility Crosswalk Installation
As a requirement for various development project significant impacts existing crosswalks will be replaced with ladder-type high visibility striping and pedestrian-actuated flashers at select locations.

PROGRAMS / STANDARDS
CATEGORY: SPEED MANAGEMENT
Appropriate Speed Limits for All Users – Identify locations where reduced speed limits may be warranted based on collision data or other appropriate metrics per AB 43.
Citywide
In 2014, the city reduced the speed limits on about 68% of surveyed (non-local) streets by 5 miles per hour. In 2021, AB 43 changed the rules for how speed limits are set in California. However, the rule changes do not take effect until June 2024 or until the Judicial Council completes additional steps.
Review residential neighborhood locations for radar speed feedback signs at selected locations. Citywide Prepare guidelines for analyzing the conditions suitable for the placement of speed feedback cameras to use in evaluating locations on the city street system to install speed feedback signs where speeding is an issue.
Install traffic calming measures on Local Streets in new development and on selected Neighborhood Collector streets. Residential neighborhoods In neighborhoods where there is curb and gutters installed, review options for installing traffic calming devices to slow traffic on selected neighborhood collector streets and those with a documented history of speeding problems.
Reduce the standard Local Street width from 40 feet to no more than 36 feet, unless there will be Class II bike lanes provided. Local Streets The city’s typical local street cross-section is a 40-foot wide street in a 60-foot right-of-way. The wider street cross- section encourages speeding even when there is on-street parking present. Local Street standard cross-sections should be reduced to no more than 36 feet wide regardless of the right-of-way width unless Class II bike lanes are being included. Develop design standards that incorporate Complete Streets criteria and components to accommodate all potential users of the right-of-way.
Reduce Collector and Arterial Street through lane widths to 11 feet wide.
Reduce select left-turn lanes to 10 feet if a raised median is installed and limited truck traffic is expected.
New development
Reducing lane widths will assist in reducing traffic speeds, will reduce crossing widths for pedestrians at intersections, and will reduce the amount of impermeable roadway surface and runoff. Narrower streets will also allow for wider runoff areas to create additional recovery area.
Reduce travel lanes by adding buffered bike lanes on Master Plan identified corridors.
Streets identified in the Citywide Master
Plan for Bicyclists and Pedestrians
Reduce travel lane widths and stripe bike lanes on streets identified in the Bicycle and pedestrian master plan. On Camino Real between Jurupa Road and Limonite Avenue study the option to install a road diet and reduce the 4-lane cross-section to a 3-lane cross-section with bike lanes.
CATEGORY: ROADWAY DEPARTURE
Wider Edge Lines Citywide
Develop citywide striping and marking standards using 6” lines for regular line work and 8” line for wide lines. Establish when to use thermoplastic materials and when to use water-based paint. Establish standard markings for bike lanes and crosswalks. Install wider lines with all new and maintenance restriping.
Enhanced Delineation for Horizontal Curves Citywide Add W8-1 chevron signs to curves where there is either demonstrated roadway departure incidents or engineer’s review of a documented design issue or roadside hazard. Add full-length pole reflective covers to all curve warning signs.
Longitudinal Rumble Strips and Stripes Citywide
Review rural streets with limited lighting for the application of edge line rumble strips. Apply to streets with a history of run off the road collisions. Priority application to those streets with a posted speed of 45 miles per hour or higher.
Install 6” edge lines on streets with a posted speed of over 40 miles per hour with limited street lighting.
Roadway SafetyEdge Citywide
On all streets with no curb and gutter and a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour and above install an FHWA SafetyEdge during all reconstruction and resurfacing projects and include with any new development where no curb and gutter, dike, or berm will be installed.
Roadside Design Improvements Citywide
Remove unnecessary roadside features (signs, furniture, fixed landscaping, etc.) and relocate others farther from the travel lanes to improve clear zones. Locate/relocate all new and replacement traffic signal, flasher, and street light poles farther from the travel lane when possible to limit the potential for vehicle strikes, especially by trucks.
Median Barriers Citywide Install raised medians on major and arterial streets to limit turning activity to select controlled locations, reduce left-turn conflicts, and limit mid-block pedestrian crossings.
CATEGORY: INTERSECTIONS
Traffic Signal Backplates with reflective borders Citywide Replace all traffic signal backing plates with reflective yellow perimeter plates to enhance signal visibility.
Corridor Access Management Citywide
Consolidate development driveways where possible and install raised medians with spaced left-turn/U-turn locations to reduce turning movement conflicts. Have developments access directly onto side streets instead of arterials to reduce turning movement conflicts at driveways.

Table 10 – Implementation Projects
Programs / Project / Countermeasure Location Discussion Roundabouts Citywide
Install mini roundabouts along neighborhood collector streets to reduce travel speeds and eliminate stop sign violations.
Identify locations along two-lane collector and secondary streets for the placement of roundabouts in lieu of traffic signals or all-way stop sign control.
Yellow Change and All-Red Intervals Signalized intersections Evaluate all traffic signals to ensure that appropriate yellow and all-red intervals are in place. Identify locations where the installation of yellow or red time extensions would reduce yellow and red light running.
CATEGORY: PEDESTRIANS / BICYCLES
Crosswalk Visibility Enhancements Intersections Prepare citywide standards for crosswalk design and placement. Prepare an annual plan for crosswalk replacement with high a visibility design.
Bicycle Lanes Locations identified in the Bicycle and
pedestrian master plan
Install bike lanes per the city’s bicycle and pedestrian master plan and allocate an annual budget to install new bike lanes. Develop standards for installing bicycle facilities as part of all development and CIP projects. Create a bicycle facilities capital fund for development impact contributions that will support bicycle facilities development.
Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons (RRFBs) Select uncontrolled crosswalks Identify locations that would be suitable for the installation of RRFBs and identify funding programs. Locations would concentrate on Safe Route to School corridors and access to parks and community facilities.
Leading Pedestrian Intervals Signalized intersections with regular pedestrian activity
At all traffic signals where there is regular pedestrian activity install leading pedestrian intervals to all pedestrians to begin crossing the street before the associated vehicle approach is released.
Medians and Pedestrian Refuge Islands Locations with regular pedestrian crossing activity
Identify locations with regular pedestrian activity where pedestrians must either cross more than four total lanes (through and turning) or at midblock locations where pedestrians may be crossing at a slower pace and review for the installation of median refuge islands to reduce the unprotected crossing distance for pedestrians.
Road Diets / Roadway Reconfiguration Select four-lane streets with traffic volumes not requiring four lanes
Road diets will reduce the street width without significantly the street capacity, especially when there are regular turning volumes at driveways or intersecting streets. Road diets will also reduce travel speeds, reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians, and can provide width needed to install bike lanes or buffers between travel lanes and parked vehicles.
Sidewalks / Walkways
Citywide per locations in the bicycle and
pedestrian master plan, all new
development, and safe route to school
corridors.
Develop an annual program for the installation of new sidewalk on streets, especially near schools, parks, and community facilities.
CATEGORY: CROSSCUTTING
Bi-Annual Road Safety Audit Citywide
Conduct a bi-annual safety audit of city streets to identify higher incident locations and potential in-fill locations for missing infrastructure. Coordinate with incoming and on-going development projects and identify public-private partnerships for to expedite safety improvements.
PROJECTS
CATEGORY: CORRIDORS
Install radar speed feedback signs
- Rubidoux Boulevard between: SR-60
and Mission Boulevard and between
24th Street and 30th Street
- Agate Street between Galena Street
and Mission Boulevard
- Tyrolite Street between Whitney Drive
and Mission Boulevard
Collision data, RCSD records, and Traffic Safety Committee proceedings have identified several corridors where excessive vehicle speeds are a regular issue. The installation of speed feedback signs along these corridors will assist in reminding drivers to watch their speed when traveling on these streets. In combination with other safety features and enforcement the signs will be part of a combined effort to improve safety and lower vehicle speeds.
Guardrails, edge line rumble strips, and wide edge line Rubidoux Boulevard between Production Circle and Castellano Road
This segment of Rubidoux Boulevard has had a regular history of run-off-the-road crashes over the years. As noted in the previous section, CalPortland Company has agreed to partner with the city on funding the installation of guardrail along this section of Rubidoux Boulevard. In addition to the guardrail, the city should install wide edge lines and install outside shoulder rumble strips to alert drivers that they are straying from travel lane.
Install Road Diet to reduce existing four-lane section to three lanes with median left-turn lane.
- San Sevaine Way between Etiwanda
Avenue and Mission Boulevard
San Sevaine Way has a history of drivers exceeding the speed limit and street racing. The installation of a road diet would eliminate the ability of drivers to drive side-by-side and provide a median left-turn lane for vehicles turning into the driveways and side streets along San Sevaine Way.

Local Roadway Safety Plan
May 2022
Table 10 – Implementation Projects
Programs / Project / Countermeasure Location Discussion - Camino Real between Whitney Drive
and Limonite Avenue
- Bellegrave Avenue between Etiwanda
Avenue and Bain Street
The section of Camino Real between Whitney Drive and limonite Avenue has four-lanes with no left-turn lane, but has residential driveways along its entire length. There are no sidewalks along much of Camino Real, even though it is regularly used by students waking to and from the area schools. The wide street regularly has speeding issues which creates a safety problem. The road diet would allow for the development of sidewalks along Camino Real and/or bike lanes to improve safety.
Bellegrave Avenue between Etiwanda Avenue and Bain Street has four lanes with no turn lanes. It also has a substantial volume of school-related traffic from Jurupa Valley High School. A road diet to reduce the street three lane along with the extension of Cantu-Galleano Ranch Road between Bellegrave Avenue and Etiwanda Avenue would divert most through traffic away from this segment of Bellegrave Avenue and improve both traffic and pedestrian safety.
Install traffic signals and restripe to a five-lane cross-section Rubidoux Boulevard between 20th Street and 30th Street
Rubidoux Boulevard between 20th Street and 28th Street is mostly striped as four lanes with side street stop control at 26th and 28th Streets. The installation of traffic signals at 24th and 26th Streets along with restriping the street to five lanes will allow for progressive traffic signal timings to be installed to control the speed and volume of traffic on the street and allow for turning traffic to not stop in the through lanes when waiting turn.
Install Bike Lanes Etiwanda Avenue between Limonite
Avenue and Bellegrave Avenue
Install the bike lanes on Etiwanda Avenue per the prepared engineered plan through lane width reductions and reductions in some on-street parking.
Prepare traffic signal coordination plans.
- Limonite Avenue between Camino Real
and Beach Street
- Rubidoux Boulevard between 20th
Street and Mission Boulevard
- Mission Boulevard between Crestmore
Road and Valley Way
Traffic signal progression can be used to control both corridor speeds and volumes by metering traffic through signalized intersections at a specific rate. These corridors have had various levels of traffic signal progression in the past. With the implementation of the citywide fiber optic project there will be more opportunity to implement adaptive traffic signal timings that can assist with moving traffic along streets at a safer and more efficient pace.
Install raised medians
- Mission Boulevard between Bellegrave
Avenue and San Sevaine Way
- Mission Boulevard between Valley Way
and Pedley Road
- Limonite Avenue between Pats Ranch
Road and Etiwanda Avenue
- Limonite Avenue between Etiwanda
Avenue and Corey Street
- Rubidoux Boulevard between El Rivino
Road and 24th Street
- Sierra Avenue from north of Karen
Lane to Woodbriar Drive
These corridors are all five-lane streets that would benefit from the provision of raised medians to both separate opposing flows of traffic, but also provide access control and limit turning movements to controlled locations reducing the potential for collisions. Some segments of these streets have existing raised medians and some sections are being improved as part of ongoing development projects. In intermediate segments where there is no project to install raised median, capital projects need to be identified to finalize the median infill. These median projects could be funded through development impact fees or partially through grant funding if combined with other safety elements.
CATEGORY: INTERSECTIONS
Install yellow reflective edge traffic signal backing plates All traffic signals Complete the HSIP Cycle 5 grant-funded project to install reflective yellow edge backing plates on all traffic signals heads.
Remove northbound left-turn lane at intersection. Van Buren Boulevard / 56th Street With the development of a new signal-controlled median opening on Van Buren Boulevard at 52nd Street there is no need to maintain the uncontrolled left-turn access at the Van Buren Boulevard and 56th Street intersection. The connection of 56th Street to Van Buren Boulevard can be retained as a right-in/right-out access with expanded deceleration and acceleration lanes, but the new 52nd Street intersection will provide a safer access location.
Install leading pedestrian interval at traffic signals. Mission Boulevard and Pedley Road and Mission Boulevard and Glen Street
To allow pedestrians to begin their crossing maneuver without vehicles beginning to start moving, install leading pedestrian intervals at signalized intersections that have regular pedestrian activity. The leading pedestrian interval will initiate a walk light for pedestrian a few moments before the adjacent through traffic is released. This will hold any conflicting turn traffic that would conflict with the pedestrian’s path until after the pedestrian has begun crossing.

Table 10 – Implementation Projects
Programs / Project / Countermeasure Location Discussion Install adaptive traffic signal controls with yellow and red light extensions, leading pedestrian intervals, and larger mast arm signage Mission Boulevard between Crestmore
Road and Valley Way
The signalized intersections in this segment of Mission Boulevard have regular pedestrian activity along with increasing vehicle volumes. The adaptive traffic signal timings along with leading pedestrian intervals will allow the traffic signals to adapt to changing traffic volumes during the day. The yellow and red light extensions are programming tools that allow the traffic signals to extend yellow and all-red light intervals if it appears that a driver may not get through an intersection before the conflicting traffic is released. The larger signage will provide a clearer and more prominent message to drivers, especially aging drivers and those with poorer eyesight.
Install traffic signals and left-turn lanes Intersections of Rubidoux Boulevard with 24th Street and 26th Street
The installation of traffic signals along with striping left-turn lanes will allow for safer controlled turns at these intersections and allow for the implementation of progressive traffic signal timings that can be used to control speeds and meter traffic volumes along Rubidoux Boulevard.
Install mini roundabouts
- Intersection of Tyrolite Street and
Halbrook Terrace
- Intersection of Skyview Road and
Sharon Way
These intersections have been used in the past as test cases for the effectiveness of lane striping on controlling vehicle speeds. Both have shown that additional traffic calming measures are required and the installation of all-way stop sign control has led to drivers just running the stop signs due to low off-peak traffic volumes. Mini roundabouts will provide speed control along the street without requiring vehicle to stop. As test locations, the successful implantation of these devices would support the installation of mini roundabouts at other problematic local and collector streets in the city.

Evaluation & Plan Updates
This final step of the safety plan is determining and implementing the process that will be used to evaluate the success of the plan, ensure implementation, and determine when an update is needed. Following the implementation of projects and application of countermeasures, the city will evaluate the success of the LRS P strategies based on Section 7 “Evaluation of Improvements” of the Cal trans LRSM v1.6. A database will be developed to track countermeasure installations, crash history, and field assessments on an annual basis. Feedback from the public, safety partners, and city maintenance crews will be included to provide a comprehensive evaluation.
The city will continue to host meetings with stakeholders at least once a year to discuss implementation of the plan and strategies for each emphasis area.
• The plan will be evaluated every three years starting in 2025 to see how many goals have been reached or need to be adjusted.
• The plan-initiated projects will be evaluated for effectiveness five years after their implementation to determine their effectiveness.
• Every two years on opposite years as the application ye ar for HSIP grant applications the plan will be reviewed to ensure it is current for locations where grant funding will be requested.
This LRSP is a living document that is recommended to be updated on a regular basis in order to utilize the latest data a nd detect trends. Collision data can be used to evaluate the success of the plan. The Jurupa Valley Department of Public Works will be the primary department responsible for updating this LRSP and will host stakeholder meetings to discuss implementation of the plan and strategies for each emphasis area.

Appendix C: List of FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures
FHWA-SA-21-029
Roadside Design
Improvements at Curves
Horizontal curves account for 27 percent of all fatal crashes and 80 percent of all fatal crashes at curves are roadway departure crashes. 1 Roadside design
improvements at curves is a strategy encompassing several treatments that target the high-risk roadside environment along the outside of horizontal curves.
These treatments can reduce roadway departure fatalities and serious injuries by giving vehicles the opportunity to recover safely and by reducing crash severity.
Roadside design improvements can be implemented alone or in combination, and are particularly recommended at horizontal curves—where data indicates a higher risk for roadway departure fatalities and serious injuries.
Roadside Design Improvements to
Provide for a Safe Recovery
In cases where a vehicle leaves
the roadway, having strategic
roadside design elements, including
an added or widened shoulder,
flattened sideslopes, or a widened
clear zone can provide drivers with
an opportunity to regain control and
re-enter the roadway in their lane or
come to a safe stop before rolling
over or encountering a fixed object.
• A clear zone is an unobstructed,
traversable roadside area that
allows a driver to stop safely or
regain control of a vehicle that has
left the roadway. Agencies should
avoid adding new fixed objects
such as trees and utility cabinets or
poles in the clear zone. AASHTO’s
Roadside Design Guide details the
clear zone width adjustment factors
to be applied at horizontal curves.
• Slope flattening reduces the
steepness of the sideslope to
increase drivers’ ability to keep the
vehicle stable, regain control of the
vehicle, and avoid obstacles. Slopes
of 1V:4H or flatter are considered
recoverable (i.e., drivers can retain
control of a vehicle by slowing or
stopping). Slopes between 1V:3H
and 1V:4H are generally considered
traversable, but non-recoverable
(i.e., errant vehicle will continue to
the bottom of the slope).
• Adding or widening shoulders
gives drivers more recovery area
to regain control in the event of a
roadway departure.
Roadside Design Improvements to
Reduce Crash Severity
Since not all roadside hazards can be
removed, relocated, or redesigned
at curves, installing roadside barriers
to shield unmovable objects or steep
embankments may be an appropriate
treatment. Three common types of
roadside barriers are:
• Cable barrier is a flexible barrier
made from steel cables mounted
on weak steel posts. Flexible barriers
are more forgiving and have the
most deflection.
• Metal-beam guardrail is a semi-
rigid barrier where a W-beam or
box-beam is mounted on steel
or timber posts. These deflect less
than cable barriers, so they can
be located closer to objects where
space is limited.
• Concrete barrier is a rigid barrier
that has little to no deflection.

Reduced Left-Turn
Conflict Intersections
Reduced left-turn conflict intersections are geometric designs that alter how left-turn movements occur. These intersections simplify decision-making for drivers and minimize the potential for higher severity crash types, such as head-on and angle. Two highly effective designs that rely on U-turns to complete certain left-turn movements are known as the Restricted Crossing U-turn (RCUT) and the Median U-turn (MUT).
Restricted Crossing U-turn
The RCUT intersection, also known
as a J-Turn, Superstreet, or Reduced
Conflict Intersection, modifies
the direct left-turn and through
movements from cross-street
approaches. Minor road traffic makes
a right turn followed by a U-turn at a
designated location—either signalized
or unsignalized—to continue in
the desired direction. The RCUT is
suitable for and adaptable to a wide
variety of circumstances, ranging
from isolated rural, high-speed
locations to urban and suburban
high-volume, multimodal corridors.
It is a competitive and less costly
alternative to constructing an
interchange. RCUTs work well
when consistently used along
a corridor, but also can be
used effectively at individual
intersections. Studies have
shown that installing an RCUT
can result in a 30-percent
increase in throughput and a
40-percent reduction in network
intersection travel time.1
Median U-turn
The MUT intersection modifies
direct left turns from the major
approaches. Vehicles proceed
through the main intersection,
make a U-turn a short distance
downstream, followed by a right
turn at the main intersection.
The U-turns can also be used for
modifying the cross-street left turns,
similar to the RCUT.
The MUT is an excellent choice for
intersections with heavy through
traffic and moderate left-turn
volumes. Studies have shown a
20- to 50-percent improvement in
intersection throughput for various
lane configurations as a result of
implementing the MUT design. When
implemented at multiple intersections
along a corridor, the efficient two-
phase signal operation of the MUT
can reduce delay, improve travel
times, and create more crossing
opportunities for pedestrians and
bicyclists.

This systemic approach to intersection safety involves deploying a package of multiple low-cost countermeasures, including enhanced signing and pavement markings, at a large number of stop-controlled intersections within a jurisdiction. These countermeasures increase driver awareness and recognition of the intersections and potential conflicts.
There are several benefits to
systemically applying multiple
low-cost countermeasures at stop-
controlled intersections, including,
• Resources are maximized because
the treatments are low cost.
• A high number of intersections can
receive treatment.
• Improvements are highly cost-
effective, with an average benefit-
cost ratio of 12:1, even assuming a
conservative 3-year service life.
The low-cost countermeasures
for stop-controlled intersections
generally consist of the following
treatments:
On the Through Approach
• Doubled-up (left and right),
oversized advance intersection
warning signs, with supplemental
street name plaques (can also
include flashing beacon).
• Retroreflective sheeting on sign
posts.
• Enhanced pavement markings that
delineate through lane edge lines.
On the Stop Approach
• Doubled-up (left and right),
oversized advance “Stop Ahead”
intersection warning signs (can also
include flashing beacon).
• Doubled-up (left and right),
oversized Stop signs.
• Retroreflective sheeting on sign
posts.
• Properly placed stop bar.
• Removal of vegetation, parking, or
obstructions that limit sight distance.
• Double arrow warning sign at stem
of T-intersections.

Leading Pedestrian
Interval
A leading pedestrian interval (LPI) gives pedestrians the opportunity to enter the crosswalk at an intersection 3-7 seconds before vehicles are given a green indication. Pedestrians can better establish their presence in the crosswalk before vehicles have priority to turn right or left.
LPIs provide the following benefits:
• Increased visibility of crossing
pedestrians.
• Reduced conflicts between
pedestrians and vehicles.
• Increased likelihood of motorists
yielding to pedestrians.
• Enhanced safety for pedestrians
who may be slower to start into the
intersection.
FHWA’s Handbook for Designing
Roadways for the Aging Population
recommends the use of the LPI at
intersections with high turning vehicle
volumes. Transportation agencies
should refer to the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices for guidance on
LPI timing and ensure that pedestrian
signals are accessible for all users.
Costs for implementing LPIs are very
low when only signal timing alteration
is required.

Local Road
Safety Plans
A local road safety plan (LRSP) provides a framework for identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing roadway safety improvements on local roads.
The LRSP development process and content are tailored to local issues and needs. The process results in a prioritized list of issues, risks, actions, and improvements that can be used to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on local roads. FHWA has developed several resources including an LRSP Do- It-Yourself website which further explains the process and includes resources local agencies and their partners need to create and implement an LRSP. 1 1 https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/LRSPDIY/
2 Anderson et al. Noteworthy Practices: Addressing Safety on Locally-Owned and Maintained Roads A Domestic Scan, FHWA-SA-09-019, (2010). 3 Developing Safety Plans: A Manual for Local Rural Road Owners, FHWA-SA-12-017, provides guidance on developing an LRSP.
Approximately 75 percent of rural
roads are owned by local agencies.
2 While local roads are less traveled
than State highways, they have a
much higher rate of fatal and serious
injury crashes.2 Developing an LRSP
is an effective strategy to improve
local road safety for all road users
and support the goals of a State’s
overall Strategic Highway Safety Plan
(SHSP).
Although the development process
and resulting plan can vary
depending on the local agency’s
needs, available resources, and
targeted crash types, aspects
common to LRSPs include:
• Stakeholder engagement
representing the 4E’s:
engineering,
enforcement,
education, and
emergency
medical services.
• Collaboration
among
municipal,
county, Tribal,
State, and/or
Federal entities
to leverage
expertise and
resources.
• Identification of target crash types
and crash risk with corresponding
recommended proven safety
countermeasures.
• Timeline and goals for
implementation and evaluation.
Local road agencies should consider
developing an LRSP to be used as a
tool for reducing roadway fatalities,
injuries, and crashes.
3 LRSPs can
help agencies create a prioritized
list of improvements. LRSPs are
also a proactive risk management
technique to demonstrate an
agency’s responsiveness. The
plan should be viewed as a living
document that can be updated to
reflect changing local needs and
priorities.

Enhanced Delineation
for Horizontal Curves
Enhanced delineation at horizontal curves includes a variety of potential strategies that can be implemented in advance of or within curves, in combination, or individually.
Potential Strategies In Advance of Curve Within Curve
Pavement markings (standard width
or wider)
In-lane curve warning pavement markings
Retroreflective strips on sign posts
Delineators
Chevron signs
Enhanced Conspicuity (larger, fluorescent,
and/or retroreflective signs)
Dynamic curve warning signs
(including speed radar feedback signs)
Sequential dynamic chevrons
Enhanced delineation treatments
can alert drivers to upcoming curves,
the direction and sharpness of the
curve, and appropriate operating
speed.
Agencies can take the following
steps to implement enhanced
delineation strategies:
1. Review signing practices and
policies to ensure they comply
with the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)
principles of traffic control devices.
Consistent practice for similar
curves sets the appropriate driver
expectancy.
2. Use the systemic approach to
identify and treat problem curves.
For example, Minnesota uses risk
factors that include curve radii
between 500 and 1,200 ft, traffic
volumes between 500 and 1,000
vehicles per day, intersection in
the curve, and presence of a
visual trap.1
3. Match the appropriate strategy
to the identified problem(s),
considering the full range of
enhanced delineation treatments.
Once the MUTCD requirements and
recommendations have been met,
an incremental approach is often
beneficial to avoid excessive cost.

Longitudinal Rumble
Strips and Stripes
Longitudinal rumble strips are milled or raised elements on the pavement intended to alert drivers through vibration and sound that their vehicle has left the travel lane. They can be installed on the shoulder, edge line, or at or near the center line of an undivided roadway.
Rumble stripes are edge line or center line rumble strips where the pavement marking is placed over the rumble strip. This can increase the visibility and durability of the pavement marking during wet, nighttime conditions, and can improve the durability of the marking on roads with snowplowing operations.

3 NCHRP Synthesis 339: Centerline Rumble Strips – A Synthesis of Highway Practices, (2005). 4 NCHRP Report 641: Guidance for the Design and Application of Shoulder and Centerline Rumble Strips, (2009).
With roadway departure crashes
accounting for more than half of
the fatal roadway crashes annually
in the United States, rumble strips
and stripes are designed to address
these crashes by alerting distracted,
drowsy, or otherwise inattentive
drivers who drift from their lane. They
are most effective when deployed
systemically.
Transportation agencies should
consider milled center line rumble
strips (including in passing zone
areas) and milled edge line
or shoulder rumble strips with
bicycle gaps for systemic safety
projects, location-specific corridor
safety improvements, as well as
reconstruction or resurfacing
projects.
Considerations
• Rumble strips are relatively low-
cost, and economic analyses have
indicated benefit/cost ratios that
exceed 100.
1 • Where rumble strips cannot be
placed due to noise concerns,
agencies may consider a design
using an oscillating sine wave
pattern (also known as “mumble
strips”) that reduces noise outside
of the vehicle. However, the safety
benefits of this design need more
study.
2 • Maintenance concerns:
• Where rumble strips are placed
along a pavement joint, there
are typically no issues with
joint stability if the pavement
structure and joint was already
in good condition.
• Studies have shown no
evidence of issues related to
snow, ice, or rain build-up in the
rumble strip.

Median Barriers
Median barriers are longitudinal barriers that separate opposing traffic on a divided highway and are designed to redirect vehicles striking either side of the barrier. Median barriers significantly reduce the number of cross-median crashes, which are attributed to the relatively high speeds that are typical on divided highways. AASHTO’s Roadside Design Guide (RDG) recommends guidelines for the use of median barriers on high-speed, fully controlled- access roadways for locations where the median is 30 ft in width or less and the average daily traffic (ADT) is greater than 20,000 vehicles per day (vpd).
For locations with median widths greater than 50 ft and where the ADT is less than 20,000 vpd, a median barrier is optional. For locations where the median is between 30 and 50 feet, the RDG suggests an analysis to determine the cost effectiveness of median barrier installation. Median barriers can be cable, metal-beam, or concrete.
• Cable barriers are flexible barriers,
made from steel cables mounted
on weak steel posts, resulting in
less occupant impact force as it
absorbs energy from the crash,
capturing or redirecting the vehicle.
Due to larger deflection, median
width is an important consideration.
These barriers are more adaptable
to slopes typically found in medians.
Cable barriers tend to require more
frequent maintenance and repair
than other barrier types.
• Metal-beam guardrails are
considered semi-rigid barriers,
where the W-beam or box-beam
is mounted to steel or timber
posts. When impacted, they are
designed to deform and deflect,
absorbing some of the crash
energy and redirecting the vehicle.
Metal-beam guardrails often do
not require maintenance after
minor impacts. They deflect less
than cable barriers, so they can
be located closer to objects where
space is limited.
• Concrete barriers are usually rigid
and result in little to no deflection.
They redirect rather than absorb
energy from the impact. Rigid
concrete barriers seldom require
repair or maintenance. Some
agencies have used portable
concrete barriers as median
barriers. These barriers require
repositioning after an impact but
are typically less maintenance than
a post mounted barrier.
To reduce cross-median crashes,
transportation agencies should
review their head-on crash history
on divided highways to identify hot
spots. Agencies should also consider
implementing a systemic approach
to median barrier placement based
on cross-median crash risk factors.
Potential risk factors include:
• Traffic volumes.
• Vehicle classifications.
• Median crossover history.
• Crash incidents.
• Vertical and horizontal alignment.
• Median terrain configurations.

SafetyEdgeSM
The SafetyEdgeSM technology shapes the edge of the pavement at approximately 30 degrees from the pavement cross slope during the paving process. This safety practice eliminates the potential for vertical drop-off at the pavement edge, has minimal effect on project cost, and can improve pavement durability by reducing edge raveling of asphalt.
Rural road crashes involving edge
drop-offs are 2-4 times more likely to
include a fatality than other crashes
on similar roads.
1 Vehicles may leave
the roadway for various reasons
ranging from distracted driver errors
to low visibility, or to the presence
of an animal on the road. Exposed
vertical pavement edges can cause
vehicles to become unstable and
prevent their safe return to the
roadway. The SafetyEdge
SM gives
drivers the opportunity to return to
their travel lane while maintaining
control of their vehicle.
The SafetyEdge
SM technology only
requires adding one of several
commercially available devices to
the screed or endgate when placing
hot-mix asphalt. Forms for shaping
the edge of concrete pavement are
simpler and can be made on site
by the contractor. Some agencies
allow the SafetyEdge
SM to remain
exposed while a segment is under
construction, unlike conventional
pavement edges. However, before
construction ends, agencies should
bring the adjacent roadside flush
with the top of the pavement
for both the SafetyEdge
SM and
traditional pavement edge. Over
time, regardless of the edge type,
the edge may become exposed
due to settling, erosion, and tire
wear. When this occurs, the gentle
slope provided by the SafetyEdge
SM
is preferred versus the traditional
vertical pavement edge.
Transportation agencies should
develop standards for implementing
the SafetyEdge
SM systemwide on all
new asphalt paving and resurfacing
projects where curbs and/or
guardrail are not present, while also
encouraging standard application
for concrete pavements.

Backplates with
Retroreflective Borders
Backplates added to a traffic signal head improve the visibility of the illuminated face of the signal by introducing a controlled-contrast background. The improved visibility of a signal head with a backplate is made even more conspicuous by framing it with a 1- to 3-inch yellow retroreflective border. Signal heads that have backplates equipped with retroreflective borders are more visible and conspicuous in both daytime and nighttime conditions.
This treatment is recognized as a
human factors enhancement of
traffic signal visibility, conspicuity,
and orientation for both older
and color vision deficient drivers.
This countermeasure is also
advantageous during periods of
power outages when the signals
would otherwise be dark, providing a
visible cue for motorists to stop at the
intersection ahead.
Considerations
Transportation agencies should
consider backplates with
retroreflective borders as part
of their efforts to systematically
improve safety performance at
signalized intersections. Adding a
retroreflective border to an existing
signal backplate is a very low-cost
safety treatment. This can be done
by either adding retroreflective
tape to an existing backplate or
purchasing a new backplate with
a retroreflective border already
incorporated. The most efficient
means of implementing this proven
safety countermeasure is to adopt
it as a standard treatment for
signalized intersections across a
jurisdiction or State.
Implementation challenges
include minimizing installation time,
accessing existing signal heads, and
structural limitations due to added
wind load in instances where an
entire backplate is added. Agencies
should consider the design of the
existing signal support structure to
determine if the design is sufficient to
support the added wind load.

Corridor Access
Management
Access management refers to the design, application, and control of entry and exit points along a roadway. This includes intersections with other roads and driveways that serve adjacent properties. Thoughtful access management along a corridor can simultaneously enhance safety for all modes, facilitate walking and biking, and reduce trip delay and congestion.
Every intersection, from a signalized
intersection to an unpaved driveway,
has the potential for conflicts
between vehicles, pedestrians, and
bicyclists. The number and types of
conflict points—locations where the
travel paths of two users intersect—
influence the safety performance of
the intersection or driveway. FHWA
developed corridor-level crash
prediction models to estimate and
analyze the safety effects of selected
access management techniques
for different area types, land uses,
roadway variables, and traffic
volumes.
1 The following access management
strategies can be used individually or
in combination with one another:
• Reduce density through driveway
closure, consolidation, or
relocation.
• Manage spacing of intersection
and access points.
• Limit allowable movements at
driveways (such as right-in/
right-out only).
• Place driveways on an intersection
approach corner rather than a
receiving corner, which is expected
to have fewer total crashes.
2 • Implement raised medians
that preclude across-roadway
movements.
• Utilize designs such as roundabouts
or reduced left-turn conflicts (such
as restricted crossing U-turn, median
U-turns, etc.).
• Provide turn lanes (i.e., left-only,
right-only, or interior two-way left).
• Use lower speed one-way or two-
way off-arterial circulation roads.
Successful corridor access
management involves balancing
overall safety and mobility for
all users along with the needs of
adjacent land uses.

Dedicated Left- and
Right-Turn Lanes at Intersections
Auxiliary turn lanes—either for left turns or right turns—provide physical separation between turning traffic that is slowing or stopped and adjacent through traffic at approaches to intersections. Turn lanes can be designed to provide for deceleration prior to a turn, as well as for storage of vehicles that are stopped and waiting for the opportunity to complete a turn.
While turn lanes provide measurable
safety and operational benefits at
many types of intersections, they
are particularly helpful at two-way
stop-controlled intersections. Crashes
occurring at these intersections are
often related to turning maneuvers.
Since the major route traffic is free
flowing and typically travels at higher
speeds, crashes that do occur are
often severe. The main crash types
include collisions of vehicles turning
left across opposing through traffic
and rear-end collisions of vehicles
turning left or right with other vehicles
following closely behind. Turn lanes
reduce the potential for these types
of crashes.
Installing left-turn lanes and/or right-
turn lanes should be considered
for the major road approaches
for improving safety at both three-
and four-leg intersections with stop
control on the minor road, where
significant turning volumes exist,
or where there is a history of turn-
related crashes. Pedestrian and
bicyclist safety and convenience
should also be considered when
adding turn lanes at an intersection.
Specifically, offset left- and right-turn
lanes will lengthen crossing distances
for pedestrians.
Offset Turn Lanes
Providing offset of left- and right-
turn lanes to increase visibility can
provide added safety benefits, and
is preferable in many situations,
particularly at locations with higher
speeds, or where free-flow or
permissive movements are possible.
At turn lanes with zero or negative
offset, turning vehicles can block
sightlines. For left-turn lanes, this
usually involves opposing left-turning
vehicles occupying the turn lanes
at the same time. For right-turn
lanes, this typically involves right-
turning vehicles from the major
road and vehicles entering the
intersection from the minor road.
In both scenarios, adding positive
offset to turn lanes enhances the
sight distance to approaching
vehicles that conflict with the turning
movement. Offset turn lanes should
be considered when there is a high
frequency of these types of conflicts
in order to reduce the likelihood of a
severe crash.

Roundabouts
The modern roundabout is an intersection with a circular configuration that safely and efficiently moves traffic. Roundabouts feature channelized, curved approaches that reduce vehicle speed, entry yield control that gives right-of- way to circulating traffic, and counterclockwise flow around a central island that minimizes conflict points. The net result of lower speeds and reduced conflicts at roundabouts is an environment where crashes that cause injury or fatality are substantially reduced.
Roundabouts are not only a safer
type of intersection; they are also
efficient in terms of keeping people
moving. Even while calming traffic,
they can reduce delay and queuing
when compared to other intersection
alternatives. Furthermore, the lower
vehicular speeds and reduced
conflict environment can create
a more suitable environment for
walking and bicycling.
Roundabouts can be implemented
in both urban and rural areas under
a wide range of traffic conditions.
They can replace signals, two-
way stop controls, and all-way
stop controls. Roundabouts are an
effective option for managing speed
and transitioning traffic from high-
speed to low-speed environments,
such as freeway interchange ramp
terminals, and rural intersections
along high-speed roads.

Yellow Change
Intervals
At a signalized intersection, the yellow change interval is the length of time that the yellow signal indication is displayed following a green signal indication. The yellow signal confirms to motorists that the green has ended and that a red will soon follow.
1 Federal Highway Administration. “Automated Traffic Signal Performance,” (2020). 2 NCHRP Report 731: Guidelines for Timing Yellow and All-Red Intervals at Signalized Intersections, (2011).
Since red-light running is a leading
cause of severe crashes at signalized
intersections, it is imperative that
the yellow change interval be
appropriately timed. Too brief an
interval may result in drivers being
unable to stop safely and cause
unintentional red-light running.
Too long of an interval may result
in drivers treating the yellow as
an extension of the green phase
and invite intentional red-light
running. Factors such as the speed
of approaching and turning
vehicles, driver perception-reaction
time, vehicle deceleration, and
intersection geometry should all be
considered in the timing calculation.
Transportation agencies can improve
signalized intersection safety and
reduce red-light running by reviewing
and updating their traffic signal
timing policies and procedures
concerning the yellow change
interval. Agencies should institute
regular evaluation and adjustment
protocols for existing traffic signal
timing. Refer to the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices for
basic requirements and further
recommendations about yellow
change interval timing. As part of
strategic signal system modernization
and updates, incorporating
automated traffic signal
performance measures (ATSPMs) is
a proven approach to improve on
traditional retiming processes. ATSPMs
provide continuous performance
monitoring capability and the ability
to modify timing based on actual
performance, without requiring
expensive modeling or data
collection.

Medians and
Pedestrian Refuge Islands in Urban
and Suburban Areas
A median is the area between opposing lanes of traffic, excluding turn lanes. Medians in urban and suburban areas can be defined by pavement markings, raised medians, or islands to separate motorized and non- motorized road users.
A pedestrian refuge island (or crossing area) is a median with a refuge area that is intended to help protect pedestrians who are crossing a road. 1 National Center for Statistics and Analysis. (2020, March). Pedestrians:
2018 data (Traffic Safety Facts. Report No. DOT HS 812 850).
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
2 Desktop Reference for Crash Reduction Factors, FHWA-SA-08-011, September 2008, Table 11.
Pedestrian crashes account for
approximately 17 percent of all traffic
fatalities annually, and 74 percent
of these occur at non-intersection
locations.
1 For pedestrians to
safely cross a roadway, they must
estimate vehicle speeds, determine
acceptable gaps in traffic based
on their walking speed, and predict
vehicle paths. Installing a median
or pedestrian refuge island can
help improve safety by allowing
pedestrians to cross one direction of
traffic at a time.
Transportation agencies should
consider medians or pedestrian
refuge islands in curbed sections of
urban and suburban multilane
roadways, particularly in areas with
a significant mix of pedestrian and
vehicle traffic, traffic volumes over
9,000 vehicles per day, and travel
speeds 35 mph or greater. Medians/
refuge islands should be at least
4-ft wide, but preferably 8 ft for
pedestrian comfort. Some example
locations that may benefit from
medians or pedestrian refuge islands
include:
• Mid-block crossings.
• Approaches to multilane
intersections.
• Areas near transit stops or other
pedestrian-focused sites.

Pedestrian Hybrid
Beacons
The pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB) is a traffic control device designed to help pedestrians safely cross higher-speed roadways at midblock crossings and uncontrolled intersections. The beacon head consists of two red lenses above a single yellow lens. The lenses remain “dark” until a pedestrian desiring to cross the street pushes the call button to activate the beacon, which then initiates a yellow to red lighting sequence consisting of flashing and steady lights that directs motorists to slow and come to a stop, and provides the right- of-way to the pedestrian to safely cross the roadway before going dark again. 1 National Center for Statistics and Analysis. (2020, March). Pedestrians:

Nearly 74 percent of pedestrian
fatalities occur at non-intersection
locations, and vehicle speeds are
often a major contributing factor.
1 As a safety strategy to address this
pedestrian crash risk, the PHB is an
intermediate option between a
flashing beacon and a full pedestrian
signal because it assigns right of way
and provides positive stop control. It
also allows motorists to proceed once
the pedestrian has cleared their side
of the travel lane(s), reducing vehicle
delay.
Transportation agencies should refer
to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) for information on
the application of PHBs.
In general, PHBs are used where it
is difficult for pedestrians to cross
a roadway, such as when gaps in
traffic are not sufficient or speed
limits exceed 35 miles per hour.
They are very effective at locations
where three or more lanes will
be crossed or traffic volumes are
above 9,000 annual average daily
traffic. Installation of a PHB must
also include a marked crosswalk
and pedestrian countdown signal.
If PHBs are not already familiar to a
community, agencies should conduct
appropriate education and outreach
as part of implementation.

Road Diets
(Roadway Reconfiguration)
A Road Diet, or roadway reconfiguration, can improve safety, calm traffic, provide better mobility and access for all road users, and enhance overall quality of life. A Road Diet typically involves converting an existing four-lane undivided roadway to a three-lane roadway consisting of two through lanes and a center two-way left-turn lane (TWLTL).
Benefits of Road Diet installations
may include:
• Reduction of rear-end and left-turn
crashes due to the dedicated
left-turn lane.
• Reduced right-angle crashes as
side street motorists cross three
versus four travel lanes.
• Fewer lanes for pedestrians to cross.
• Opportunity to install pedestrian
refuge islands, bicycle lanes,
on-street parking, or transit stops.
• Traffic calming and more consistent
speeds.
• A more community-focused,
Complete Streets environment that
better accommodates the needs
of all road users.
A Road Diet can be a low-cost
safety solution when planned in
conjunction with a simple pavement
overlay, and the reconfiguration can
be accomplished at no additional
cost. Typically, a Road Diet is
implemented on a roadway with
a current and future average daily
traffic of 25,000 or less.

Walkways
A walkway is any type of defined space or pathway for use by a person traveling by foot or using a wheelchair. These may be pedestrian walkways, shared use paths, sidewalks, or roadway shoulders.
With more than 6,200 pedestrian
fatalities and 75,000 pedestrian
injuries occurring in roadway
crashes annually,
1 it is important for
transportation agencies to improve
conditions and safety for pedestrians
and to integrate walkways more
fully into the transportation system.
Research shows people living in low-
income communities are less likely
to encounter walkways and other
pedestrian-friendly features.
2 Well-designed pedestrian walkways,
shared use paths, and sidewalks
improve the safety and mobility of
pedestrians. Pedestrians should have
direct and connected network of
walking routes to desired destinations
without gaps or abrupt changes. In
some rural or suburban areas, where
these types of walkways are not
feasible, roadway shoulders provide
an area for pedestrians to walk next
to the roadway, although these are
not preferable.
Transportation agencies should work
towards incorporating pedestrian
facilities into all roadway projects
unless exceptional circumstances
exist. It is important to provide and
maintain accessible walkways along
both sides of the road in urban areas,
particularly near school zones and
transit locations, and where there is a
large amount of pedestrian activity.
Walkable shoulders should also be
considered along both sides of rural
highways when routinely used by
pedestrians.

Road Safety Audit
While most transportation agencies have established traditional safety review procedures, a road safety audit (RSA) or assessment is unique. RSAs are performed by a multidisciplinary team independent of the project. RSAs consider all road users, account for human factors and road user capabilities, are documented in a formal report, and require a formal response from the road owner. (See the eight steps for conducting an RSA below.) RSAs provide the following
benefits:
• Reduced number and severity of
crashes due to safer designs.
• Reduced costs resulting from early
identification and mitigation of
safety issues before projects are
built.
• Increased opportunities to integrate
multimodal safety strategies and
proven safety countermeasures.
• Expanded ability to consider
human factors in all facets of
design.
• Increased communication and
collaboration among safety
stakeholders.
• Objective review by independent
multidisciplinary team.
RSAs can be performed in any
phase of project development,
from planning through construction.
Agencies may focus RSAs
specifically on motorized vehicles,
pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists,
or a combination of these roadway
users. Agencies are encouraged
to conduct an RSA at the earliest
stage possible, as all roadway design
options and alternatives are being

Appropriate Speed
Limits for All Road Users
There is broad consensus among global roadway safety experts that speed control is one of the most important methods for reducing fatalities and serious injuries.
Speed is an especially important factor on non-limited access roadways where vehicles and vulnerable road users mix.
A driver may not see or be aware of the conditions within a corridor, and may drive at a speed that feels reasonable for themselves but may not be for all users of the system, especially vulnerable road users, including children and seniors. A driver traveling at 30 miles per hour who hits a pedestrian has a 45 percent chance of killing or seriously injuring them.
1 At 20 miles per hour, that percentage drops
to 5 percent.1 A number of cities across the United States, including New York, Washington, Seattle and Minneapolis, have reduced their local speed limits in recent years in an effort to reduce fatalities and serious injuries, with most having to secure State legislative authorization to do so.
States and local jurisdictions should set appropriate speed limits to reduce the significant risks drivers impose on others—especially vulnerable road users—and on themselves. Addressing speed is fundamental to the Safe System Approach to making streets safer, and a growing body of research shows that speed limit changes alone can lead to measurable declines in speeds and crashes. 2 Applications
Posted speed limits are often the same
as the legislative statutory speed limit.
Agencies with designated authorities to
set speed limits, which include States,
and sometimes local jurisdictions, can
establish non-statutory speed limits or
designate reduced speed zones, and
a growing number are doing so. While
non-statutory speed limits must be based
on an engineering study, conducted in
accordance with the
Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) involving
multiple factors and engineering
judgment, FHWA is also encouraging
agencies to use the following:
3 • Expert Systems tools.
o USLIMITS2.
o NCHRP 966: Posted Speed Limit
Setting Procedure and Tool.
• Safe System approach.
Based on international experience
and implementation in the United
States, the use of 20 mph speed zones
or speed limits in urban core areas
where vulnerable users share the road
environment with motorists may result in
further safety benefits.
4 Considerations
When setting a speed limit, agencies
should consider a range of factors such
as pedestrian and bicyclist activity, crash
history, land use context, intersection
spacing, driveway density, roadway
geometry, roadside conditions, roadway
functional classification, traffic volume,
and observed speeds.
To achieve desired speeds, agencies
often implement other speed
management strategies concurrently
with setting speed limits, such as self-
enforcing roadways, traffic calming,
and speed safety cameras. Additional
information is in the following FHWA
resources:

on rural roads, when
considering other relevant
factors in the engineering
study along with the speed
distribution, setting a speed
limit no more than 5 mph
below the 85th-percentile
speed may result in fewer

Bicycle Lanes
Most fatal and serious injury bicyclist crashes occur at non-intersection locations.
Nearly one-third of these crashes involve overtaking motorists1; the speed and size differential between vehicles and bicycles can lead to severe injury. To make bicycling safer and more comfortable for most types of bicyclists, State and local agencies should consider installing bicycle lanes. These dedicated facilities for the use of bicyclists along the roadway can take several forms. Providing bicycle facilities can mitigate or prevent interactions, conflicts, and crashes between bicyclists and motor vehicles, and create a network of safer roadways for bicycling. Bicycle Lanes align with the Safe System Approach principle of recognizing human vulnerability—where separating users in space can enhance safety for all road users.
Applications
FHWA’s Bikeway Selection Guide and
Incorporating On-Road Bicycle Networks
into Resurfacing Projects assist agencies
in determining which facilities provide
the most benefit in various contexts.
Bicycle lanes can be included on
new roadways or created on existing
roads by reallocating space in the
right-of-way.
In addition to the paint stripe used
for a typical bicycle lane, a lateral
offset with painted buffer can help to
further separate bicyclists from vehicle
traffic. State and local agencies may
also consider physical separation
of the bicycle lane from motorized
traffic lanes through the use of
vertical elements like posts, curbs, or
vegetation.
2 Based on international
experience and implementation in
the United States, there is potential
for further safety benefits associated
with separated bicycle lanes. FHWA
is conducting research on separated
bicycle lanes, which includes the
development of crash modification
factors, to be completed in 2022 to
address significant interest on this topic.
Considerations
• City and State policies may require
minimum bicycle lane widths, although
these can differ by agency and
functional classification of the road.
• Bicycle lane design should
vary according to roadway
characteristics (e.g., motor vehicle
volumes and speed) in order to
maximize the facility’s suitability for
riders of all ages and abilities and
should consider the travel needs of
low-income populations likely to use
bicycles. The Bikeway Selection Guide
is a useful resource.
• While some in the public may
oppose travel lane narrowing if they
believe it will slow traffic or increase
congestion, studies have found that
roadways did not experience an
increase in injuries or congestion
when travel lane widths were
decreased to add a bicycle lane.
3 • Studies and experience in US cities
show that bicycle lanes increase
ridership and may help jurisdictions
better manage roadway capacity
without increased risk.
• In rural areas, rumble strips can
negatively impact bicyclists’ ability to
ride if not properly installed. Agencies
should consider the dimensions,
placement, and offset of rumble strips
when adding a bicycle lane.
4 • Strategies, practices, and processes
can be used by agencies to
enhance their ability to address
equity in bicycle planning and
design.

Crosswalk Visibility
Enhancements
Poor lighting conditions, obstructions such as parked cars, and horizontal or vertical roadway curvature can reduce visibility at crosswalks, contributing to safety issues. For multilane roadway crossings where vehicle volumes are in excess of 10,000 Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT), a marked crosswalk alone is typically not sufficient. Under such conditions, more substantial crossing improvements could prevent an increase in pedestrian crash potential.
Three main crosswalk visibility enhancements help make crosswalks and the pedestrians, bicyclists, wheelchair and other mobility device users, and transit users using them more visible to drivers. These include high-visibility crosswalks, lighting, and signing and pavement markings. These enhancements can also assist users in deciding where to cross. Agencies can implement these features as standalone or combination enhancements to indicate the preferred location for users to cross.
High-visibility crosswalks
High-visibility crosswalks use patterns
(i.e., bar pairs, continental, ladder)
that are visible to both the driver
and pedestrian from farther
away compared to traditional
transverse line crosswalks. They
should be considered at all
midblock pedestrian crossings and
uncontrolled intersections. Agencies
should use materials such as inlay or
thermoplastic tape, instead of paint
or brick, for highly reflective crosswalk
markings.
Improved Lighting
The goal of crosswalk lighting
should be to illuminate with positive
contrast to make it easier for a driver
to visually identify the pedestrian.
This involves carefully placing the
luminaires in forward locations to
avoid a silhouette effect of the
pedestrian.
Enhanced Signing and
Pavement Markings
On multilane roadways, agencies
can use “YIELD Here to Pedestrians”
or “STOP Here for Pedestrians”
signs 20 to 50 feet in advance of
a marked crosswalk to indicate
where a driver should stop or yield to
pedestrians, depending on State law.
To supplement the signing, agencies
can also install a STOP or YIELD bar
(commonly referred to as “shark’s
teeth“) pavement markings.
In-street signing, such as “STOP Here
for Pedestrians” or “YIELD Here to
Pedestrians” may be appropriate on
roads with two- or three-lane roads
where speed limits are 30 miles per
hour or less.

Lighting
The number of fatal crashes occurring in daylight is about the same as those that occur in darkness. However, the nighttime fatality rate is three times the daytime rate because only 25 percent of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) occur at night. At nighttime, vehicles traveling at higher speeds may not have the ability to stop once a hazard or change in the road ahead becomes visible by the headlights. Therefore, lighting can be applied continuously along segments and at spot locations such as intersections and pedestrian crossings in order to reduce the chances of a crash.
Adequate lighting (i.e., at or above minimum acceptable standards) is based on research recommending horizontal and vertical illuminance levels to provide safety benefits to all users of the roadway environment. Adequate lighting can also provide benefits in terms of personal security for pedestrians, wheelchair and other mobility device users, bicyclists, and transit users as they travel along and across roadways.
Applications
Roadway Segments
Research indicates that continuous
lighting on both rural and urban
highways (including freeways) has
an established safety benefit for
motorized vehicles.
1 Agencies can
provide adequate visibility of the
roadway and its users through the
uniform application of lighting that
provides full coverage along the
roadway and the strategic placement
of lighting where it is needed the most.
Intersections and Pedestrian
Crossings
Increased visibility at intersections at
nighttime is important since various
modes of travel cross paths at these
locations. Agencies should consider
providing lighting to intersections
based on factors such as a history of
crashes at nighttime, traffic volume,
the volume of non-motorized users,
the presence of crosswalks and raised
medians, and the presence of transit
stops and boarding volumes.
Considerations
Most new lighting installations are
made with breakaway features,
shielded, or placed far enough
from the roadway to reduce
the probability and/or severity
of fixed-object crashes. Modern
lighting technology gives precise
control with minimal excessive
light affecting the nighttime sky or
spilling over to adjacent properties.
Agencies can equitably engage
with underserved communities to
determine where and how new and
improved lighting can most benefit
the community by considering their
priorities, including eliminating crash
disparities, connecting to essential
neighborhood services, improving
active transportation routes, and
promoting personal safety.

Pavement Friction
Management
Friction is a critical characteristic of a pavement that affects how vehicles interact with the roadway, including the frequency of crashes. Measuring, monitoring, and maintaining pavement friction—especially at locations where vehicles are frequently turning, slowing, and stopping—can prevent many roadway departure, intersection, and pedestrian-related crashes.
Pavement friction treatments, such as High Friction Surface Treatment (HFST), can be better targeted and result in more efficient and effective installations when using continuous pavement friction data along with crash and roadway data.
Continuous Pavement Friction
Measurement
Friction data for safety performance
is best measured with Continuous
Pavement Friction Measurement
(CPFM) equipment. Spot friction
measurement devices, like locked-
wheel skid trailers, cannot safely and
accurately collect friction data in
curves or intersections, where the
pavement polishes more quickly and
adequate friction is so much more
critical. Without CPFM equipment,
agencies will assume the same
friction over a mile or more.
CPFM technology measures friction
continuously at highway speeds and
provides both network and segment
level data. Practitioners can analyze
the friction, crash, and roadway data
to better understand and predict
where friction-related crashes will
occur to better target locations and
more effectively install treatments.
1 High Friction Surface Treatment
HFST consists of a layer of durable,
anti-abrasion, and polish-resistant
aggregate over a thermosetting
polymer resin binder that locks the
aggregate in place to restore or
enhance friction and skid resistance.
Calcined bauxite is the aggregate
shown to yield the best results
and should be used with HFST
applications.
Applications
HFST should be applied in locations
with increased friction demand,
including:
• Horizontal curves.
• Interchange ramps.
• Intersection approaches.
o Higher-speed signalized and
stop-controlled intersections.
o Steep downward grades.
• Locations with a history of rear-end,
failure to yield, wet-weather, or red-
light-running crashes.
• Crosswalk approaches.
Considerations
• HFST is applied on existing pavement,
so no new pavement is added.
• If the underlying pavement
structure is unstable, then the
HFST life cycle may be shortened,
resulting in pre-mature failure.
• The automated installation method
is preferred as it minimizes issues
often associated with manual
installation: human error due to
fatigue, inadequate binder mixing,
improper and uneven binder
thickness, delayed aggregate
placement, and inadequate
aggregate coverage.
• The cost can be reduced when
bundling installations at multiple
locations.

Rectangular Rapid
Flashing Beacons (RRFB)
A marked crosswalk or pedestrian warning sign can improve safety for pedestrians crossing the road, but at times may not be sufficient for drivers to visibly locate crossing locations and yield to pedestrians. To enhance pedestrian conspicuity and increase driver awareness at uncontrolled, marked crosswalks, transportation agencies can install a pedestrian actuated Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) to accompany a pedestrian warning sign. RRFBs consist of two, rectangular- shaped yellow indications, each with a light-emitting diode (LED)-array-based light source. 1 RRFBs flash with an alternating high frequency when activated to enhance conspicuity of pedestrians at the crossing to drivers.
For more information on using RRFBs, see the Interim Approval in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

4 NCHRP Research Report 841 Development of Crash Modification Factors for Uncontrolled Pedestrian Crossing Treatments, (2017).
Applications
The RRFB is applicable to many
types of pedestrian crossings but is
particularly effective at multilane
crossings with speed limits less
than 40 miles per hour.
2 Research
suggests RRFBs can result in motorist
yielding rates as high at 98 percent
at marked crosswalks, but varies
depending on the location, posted
speed limit, pedestrian crossing
distance, one- versus two-way road,
and the number of travel lanes.
3 RRFBs can also accompany school or
trail crossing warning signs.
RRFBs are placed on both sides of
a crosswalk below the pedestrian
crossing sign and above the
diagonal downward arrow plaque
pointing at the crossing.
1 The flashing
pattern can be activated with
pushbuttons or passive (e.g., video or
infrared) pedestrian detection, and
should be unlit when not activated.
Considerations
Agencies should:
2 • Install RRFBs in the median rather
than the far-side of the roadway
if there is a pedestrian refuge or
other type of median.
• Use solar-power panels to eliminate
the need for a power source.
• Reserve the use of RRFBs for
locations with significant pedestrian
safety issues, as over-use of RRFB
treatments may diminish their
effectiveness.
Agencies shall not:
2 • Use RRFBs without the presence of
a pedestrian, school or trail crossing
warning sign.
• Use RRFBs for crosswalks across
approaches controlled by YIELD
signs, STOP signs, traffic control
signals, or pedestrian hybrid
beacons, except for the approach
or egress from a roundabout.

Speed
Safety Cameras
Safe Speeds is a core principle of the Safe System Approach since humans are less likely to survive high-speed crashes. Enforcing safe speeds has been challenging; however, with more information and tools communities can make progress in reducing speeds. Agencies can use speed safety cameras (SSCs) as an effective and reliable technology to supplement more traditional methods of enforcement, engineering measures, and education to alter the social norms of speeding. SSCs use speed measurement devices to detect speeding and capture photographic or video evidence of vehicles that are violating a set speed threshold.
Applications
Agencies should conduct a network
analysis of speeding-related crashes
to identify locations to implement
SSCs. The analysis can include scope
(e.g., widespread, localized), location
types (e.g., urban/suburban/rural,
work zones, residential, school zones),
roadway types (e.g., expressways,
arterials, local streets), times of day, and
road users most affected by speed-
related crashes (e.g., pedestrians,
bicyclists).
SSCs can be deployed as:
• Fixed units—a single, stationary
camera targeting one location.
• Point-to-Point (P2P) units—multiple
cameras to capture average speed
over a certain distance.
• Mobile units—a portable camera,
generally in a vehicle or trailer.
The table below describes suitable
circumstances for SSC deployment.
1 Considerations
• SSCs can produce a crash reduction
upstream and downstream, thus
generating a spillover effect.2
• Public trust is essential for any type of
enforcement. With proper controls in
place, SSCs can offer fair and
equitable enforcement of speeding,
regardless of driver age, race, gender,
or socio-economic status. SSCs should
be planned with community input and
equity impacts in mind.
• Using both overt (i.e., highly visible)
and covert (i.e., hidden) enforcement
may encourage drivers to comply with
limits everywhere, not only at sites they
are aware are enforced.
• Agencies should conduct
evaluations regularly to determine if
SSCs are accomplishing safety goals
and whether changes in strategy,
scheduling, communications, or public
engagement are necessary.
• Agencies should conduct a legal
and policy review to determine if SSCs
are authorized within a jurisdiction and
how the authorization and other traffic
laws will affect a SSC program.
• Agencies should develop an SSC
program plan with consideration of
the USDOT SSC guidelines for planning,
public involvement, stakeholder
coordination, implementation,
maintenance, evaluation, etc.

Variable Speed
Limits
Selecting appropriate speed limits on roadways is important in maintaining a safe and efficient transportation network. Speed limits are established with an engineering study based on inputs like traffic volumes, operating speeds, roadway characteristics, and crash history. However, conditions on the roadway are susceptible to change in a short amount of time (e.g., congestion, crashes, weather). Drivers typically determine their operating speeds under normal weather conditions on a straight roadway section with good pavement quality and adequate sight distances. If ideal conditions do not exist and the roadway does not meet the driver’s expectations, there is a greater chance that a driver error could result in a crash. Providing variable speeds limits (VSLs) capable of adapting to changing circumstances could reduce crash frequency and severity.
Speed management strategies, including VSLs, are integral to the Safe Speeds element of the Safe System Approach. Because humans are unlikely to survive high-speed crashes, VSLs reduce speeds so that human injury tolerances are accommodated in three ways: improving visibility, providing additional time for drivers to stop, and reducing impact forces.
Applications
VSLs use prevailing information on the
roadway, like traffic speed, volumes,
weather, and road surface conditions,
to determine appropriate speeds
and display them to drivers. This
strategy improves safety performance
and traffic flow by reducing speed
variance (i.e., improving speed
harmonization). VSLs may also improve
driver expectation by providing
information in advance of slowdowns
and potential lane closures, which
could reduce the probability for
secondary crashes. VSLs can mitigate
adverse weather conditions or to slow
faster-moving traffic as it approaches
a queue or bottleneck.
Agencies can implement VSLs for
the following applications:
CONGESTION INCIDENTS
WORK ZONES INCLEMENT WEATHER
Considerations
• Particularly effective on urban and
rural freeways and high-speed arterials
with posted speed limits greater than
40 mph.
• Often implemented as part of Active
Traffic Management (ATM) plans
or incorporated into existing Road
Weather Information Systems.
• When used with ATM, VSLs can
mitigate rear-end, sideswipe,
and other crashes on high-speed
roadways.
• May be implemented as a regulatory
and/or an advisory system.
• Can be applied to an entire roadway
segment or individual lanes.

Wider Edge Lines
Roadway departures account for over half of all traffic fatalities in the United States. If drivers cannot clearly identify the edge of the travel lanes and see the road alignment ahead, the risk of roadway departure may be greater.
Wider edge lines enhance the visibility of travel lane boundaries compared to traditional edge lines. Edge lines are considered “wider” when the marking width is increased from the minimum normal line width of 4 inches to the maximum normal line width of 6 inches.
1 Applications
Wider edge lines increase drivers’
perception of the edge of the
travel lane and can provide a
safety benefit to all facility types
(e.g., freeways, multilane divided
and undivided highways, two-lane
highways) in both urban and rural
areas.
2 Wider edge lines are most
effective in reducing crashes on
rural two-lane highways, especially
for single-vehicle crashes.
3 Agencies
should also consider implementing
a systemic approach to wider edge
line installation based roadway
departure crash risk factors. Potential
risk factors for two-lane rural roads
include:
• Pavement and shoulder widths.
• Presence of curves.
• Traffic volumes.
• History of nighttime crashes.
Considerations
• Wider edge lines are relatively
low cost.
• Wider edge lines can be
implemented using existing
equipment during maintenance
procedures like re-striping and
resurfacing, with the only cost
increase being the additional
material.
• Paint may have a lower initial cost,
but more durable materials (e.g.,
thermoplastic) may result in a
lower life cycle cost based on their
longer service life.
• As the number of automated
vehicles increases on roadways,
wider edge lines may provide
better guidance for these
vehicles’ sensors.

1 TRANSMITTAL MESSAGE
Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council and Residents of Jurupa Valley:
On behalf of the City of Jurupa Valley staff I am proud to transmit the FY 202 1-2022 to FY 2025- 2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). This document is the result of several internal review meetings and previous City Council direction. All projects presented in this budget have been carefully examined to ensure the community’s capital improvement needs are met both now and in the future. You w ill find this CIP has been developed with a balance between the infrastructure needs of the community and the City’s financial capacity.
The CIP is a five-year planning instrument used to identify and coordinate the financing and timing of public improvem ents. The first year of this program is the capital budget you will see in the City’s overall operating budget. Projects slated for subsequent years in the program are for planning purposes only and do not receive expenditure authority until they are alloc ated funding in a future capital budget.
The City’s goal in providing a CIP budget is to develop a multi -year plan for capital improvement, update it annually and follow through with all capital improvements in accordance with the plan. In determining the relative merit of a proposed project, key management team members evaluate projects for feasibility, community enhancement, infrastructure preservation and safety.
City staff identifie d the community’s capital needs for each fiscal year, evaluated antici pated funding availability and presents a proposed CIP for the City Council’s consideration and direction to staff. The focus of the CIP is to combine a comprehensive planning document that identifies revenues with the capital projects expenditure budget. The document also augments the existing capital projects budget information and facilitates the long -range capital projects planning process.
The CIP includes a total of $ 127,597,526 in identified capital projects, with available funding of $64,398,726. There is $ 63,198,800 in “Unspecified” project funding , indicating that a revenue source has not been identified for these projects. There are 35 projects which are scheduled to begin design, construction and/or be completed in FY 2021-2022. These projects are intended to enhance the safety and quality of life for all citizens in the City of Jurupa Valley. The following is a list of some highlighted projects contained in the CIP:
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
FY 2021-2022 TO FY 2025-2026
2 • Van Buren Blvd. Widening, Santa Ana River to Limonite • Jurupa Rd. and Van Buren Blvd. Grade Separation
• Sunnyslope Area SR2S Sidewalk Gap Closure
• Market St. Widening, Santa Ana River to Rubidoux
• Citywide Guardrail Replacement
• Mission Blvd. Pavement Rehabilitation – Ph. 1 and 2, Bellegrave to Valley Way • Riverside Dr. Widening, I-15 to Wineville
The revenue estimates, although conservative, are strictly estimates. The actual amount of funds available for construction will vary based upon the state of the economy. The City Council will be updated throughout the year on the status of projects and co rresponding revenue sources.
The FY 202 1-2022 to FY 202 5-2026 Capital Improvement Program is a result of a total team effort of both City staff and City Council. I would like to thank staff and the City Council for all of the contributions that were made in developing the capital budget that will serve as the blueprint for Jurupa Valley’s future.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES - PLAN CHECKING & INSPECTIONS
RHA LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS-PLANNERS, INC.
RHA is currently performing landscape plan check and inspection services for the City of Jurupa Valley Planning Department. In the past RHA has provided plan checking services for the City of Lake Elsinore, City of Highland and the City of Corona. We know the City of Jurupa Valley’s ordinances, City Wide Design Standards and goals as well as the City’s Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance requirements.
Plan Check and inspection Process
T
he following is the approach we are proposing to use to provide plan checking services to the City of Jurupa Valley;
K
ickoff Meeting - Before the start of any plan checking for the City of Jurupa Valley, RHA would complete another review of the development requirements, ordinances, guidelines, and standards as they pertain to architecture and landscape development. We would the n prepare an architecture and landscape plan review check list and review it with the planning department. This review will insure we have covered everything needed for plan review as well as set up priorities for the items which have been issues in the past and are the most important to the city.
We have found with other cities , that to accomplish planning goals such as the removal of blight, beautification through color, increased visibility for safety, maximizing tree shade, or elimination of turf for water use reduction, focus priorities are identified. We want to understand the long- term goals of the City of Jurupa Valle y and help the city achieve these goals.

A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS-PLANNERS, INC.
Description of Services – Plan Checking and Inspections Transfer of Plans and Information – We have found the most efficient way to accomplish plan checking is by the electronic transfer of plans forms and information. By using Drop Box or other file transferring systems, large documents can be transferred and reviewed quickly and efficiently . Depending on the project , we are often returning review comments the same day. If plans cannot be transferred electronically, Greg Meek from our office passes by City of Jurupa Valley twice a day on his way to and from work and can easily pick up or drop off plans and documents.
P
roject Tracking – An electronic file and a hard file is kept of all plan checking document s. We use the p lanning departments numbers assigned to a project but we also give it a second RHA number by the year the project is received. We keep an additional ongoing project status log of all projects so that we know where the project is in the approval process at all times. Many development projects are in review for several years and often change owners, that’s why our project tracking process has to be accurate & detailed.
P
lan Review Log In - We will prepare a plan review log in spreadsheet that will assist in tracking the status of the projects and ensure that services are completed in a timely manner.
P
lan Review Experience and Philosophy – RHA Landscape Architects, Planners is made up of highly experienced landscape architects and designers which understand the importance of an accurate and efficient plan review process. Greg Meek will be doing most of the plan checking for the City of Jurupa Valley and he has provided plan checking services for over 15 year s for several cities. Greg worked for the cities of Fullerton, San Jose, and San Mateo, so he has a unique understanding of city processes. Our staff also provides landscape architectural design services for housing projects in several cities by a couple of different development companies. Because we have been on both sides of the counter, we are very knowledgeable as to the elements and information that are expected. We provide plan checking that protects the city’s best interest first, but will be efficient and consistent.
We will always be available to communicate with your staff on all projects that have special considerations or are politically sensitive.
1. Fi
rst Plan Review
a) Review the project site on Google Earth or visit the site to become familiar with the project area and what is around the project site.
b
) We will review the plans and submitted documents. Often the first review will be a conceptual landscape plan. After reviewing the site and submitted documents, comments will be prepared and developed into a review comment letter. Plans may also be redlined if it will assist the applicant with understanding the comments. The comment letter and redli ned plans will be returned to the planning department for distribution to the project owner or developer.

Description of Services – Plan Checking and Inspections from the landscape architect preparing the plans or the project owner . This response to comments is to be returned to the planning department with the next submittal. c) W
e will confirm quantities and area measurements by inserting an electronic copy (PDF, JPEG, etc.) of the plan into AutoCAD and creating a digital measurement field for all landscape areas.
2. S
ubsequent Plan Reviews
Often landscape plans will need to be modified and submitted several times to become approved. The most common reason for multiple plan check reviews is the information is missing or the comments were not addressed. Additional plan check reviews generally do not take as long to complete because we are already familiar with the projects. The following tasks are performed during plan checks that occur after the first plan check.
a) W
e will review the revised plans for conformance with the previous plan check comments. We also look for unrequested changes to the plans that might conflict with the plan requirements. b) We will update quantities and measurements as needed.
3. Compliance Inspection Services
After the Landscape Architect of record provides a letter stating that the project was installed per the plans and specifications, RHA will provide site inspection s to confirm the landscape is substantially complete.
Additional inspections will be provided at the request of the City Planning Department.
4. Direct Contact with the Applicant
At the request of the ci ty planning department, RHA will receive calls and discuss plan review comments with the applicant. RHA will only explain, provide clarifications, and reinforce landscape requirements with the applicant. Decisions as to deviations, modifications or exemptions will have to come directly from the c ity planners.
Plan Check and Inspection Billing
Plan Checking and Inspection Fees
Plan checking and inspection will be provided at the agreed upon hourly rates. Portions of the hour are rounded up to 15- minute increments. The number of hours required per project depends on the size of the project and the response of the applicant to the review comments. We have had some clients that resubmit plans without responding to comments which triggers another review cycle. We have found that in the City of Jurupa Valley it is not uncommon for us to have to review a project three times until they respond to all the comments.
L
arge housing development projects often take as much as 4 hour s to provide the first review. Each review after becomes shorter but usually not less than 1 hour. Small projects rarely take more than two hours to review the plans and write the review comment letters.
M
onthly Billing
An Excel spread sheet is often used to provide a summary of hours spent on each project plan check. 15 On-Call Landscape Architect Services April 20, 2022

ailability of Staff
RHA is currently completing plan checking services and inspection requests within a couple of days of receiving them (two weeks is requested by the cities). Greg Meek and David Black are currently providing the plan checking services which are accurate and ef ficient. We could easily handle additional phone calls and very high workloads. Due to our proven plan checking system s, it would be very easy to have additional staff assist with plan checking if needed.
U
se of Technology for Conducting Plan Reviews
Over the past six years providing plan checking services for the City of Jurupa Valley we have gotten away from hard copy or paper plan submittals during our plan checking process. We have found that it has made plan checking faster and less costly for the applicants. We receive, distribute, track and store all of the plans and documents electronically. Our turn around time has been as fast as a couple of hours but our average is about three days verses two weeks that it used to take sending hard copies back and forth.
Everything goes through the planning department. With the Covid-19 virus, some cities may never take hard copies again because it has forced us to use technology to stay safe . With some agencies we have been using Bluebeam to provide comments and as a method of transferring documents. RHA has all of the software needed to use a ny of these processes. We even have a d rone to do flyovers and aerial photography of our projects, before and after. It has been great for looking at areas that may not be accessible on foot.

17 Description of Services
A. General Understanding of Requirements in the Scope of Services VDLA is uniquely qualified for Landscape Architectural Design, Plan Checking and Inspection Services, and has an expressed interest in serving the City of Jurupa Valley. Our experienced staff that will be assigned to this contract are already familiar with policies and procedures inherent to successfully performing these services, as VDLA has been providing on-call landscape architectural services to Jurupa Valley (as a sub- consultant to HR Green) since 2016. Prior to that, we performed services for Jurupa Valley under our contract with the Riverside County Transportation & Land Management Agency.
VDLA has the capacity to perform all of the services listed in the RFP in-house, with the exception of developing the City’s Urban Forest Management Plan, and with certain aspects of the City’s tree removal / planting policy and schedule. For these last two items, we have added Monarch Environmental as a sub-consultant to our team. The Monarch Environmental team of arborists have extensive combined experience including development of Urban Forest Management Programs and tree removal assessments and policies.
VDLA is an experienced consultant that strives to prevent problems from arising by being pro-active and identifying potential problems before they become an issue in the performance of a contract. Clear communication and a detail-oriented approach has been a tenet of our success in providing on-call services to public agencies. Our track record of maintaining contracts long term speaks to the success of this approach. 18 Description of Services
1. Work Plan and 2. Work Reporting Mechanisms
Landscape Design Services Assignments
VDLA management meets monthly to assess overall trends and staffing needs. Internal staff meetings are held on a weekly basis. Planning and allocation of work assignments assures adequate staffing and compliance with schedules. Our management approach is summarized below:
1. Meet with City staff to review each task order to determine project goals, scope and schedule.
2. Prepare detailed scopes of work and task-based line item fee proposals, including gathering and managing sub-consultant proposals and agreements
3. Negotiate final scope and fees, receive Notice to Proceed
4. Organize work assignments, deliverables and milestones in overall schedule with our team including sub- consultant firms
5. Hold weekly or bi-weekly team meetings utilizing Microsoft Teams or similar software
6. Attend in-person meetings when necessary
7. Meetings with City project managers or staff will be scheduled for key milestones, or more often if desired.
8. For instance, the City project manager can participate in the weekly or bi-weekly team meetings if desired.
9. Perform detailed Quality Control for work products, including coordination of our sub-consultant team drawings and bid documents into cohesive and thoroughly plan-checked deliverables to the City
10. VDLA Internal Project Tracking is handled in a live Google Document for up to date project information, which includes:

19 Description of Services
1. Work Plan and 2. Work Reporting Mechanisms (continued) Landscape Inspections
Upon receipt of request for landscape inspection services, and within two (2) business days, VDLA (Consultant) shall:
1. Upon receipt of inspection requests, VDLA inspectors will review project plans and (if applicable) Conditions of Approval, and will coordinate a date for performing the inspection within the City’s required time frame (typically within 48 hours of receipt).
2. For regular periodic inspections of City-maintained “zones” or specific maintenance areas by various outside maintenance contractors, VDLA inspectors will set up a pre-determined schedule with the City to perform weekly, monthly or bi-monthly inspections. If desired, VDLA can also provide review of contractor submittals for new installation projects.
3. For projects just beginning construction, a pre-construction meeting will be set up for team review of project requirements and inspection milestones. Subsequent inspections typically begin with an open trench inspection to visually inspect all irrigation systems, including sleeve depths, locations and materials, static pressure of the mainlines, soil test results, valve installation, lateral lines, joint connections, etc.
VDLA utilizes an appropriate inspection checklist, and documents any deficiencies on a triplicate form which is signed by the contractor, acknowledging their understanding of the corrections. A copy is provided to each entity at the site.
4. The second new construction inspection typically is a post-inspection performed at 100% completion of the project to verify that irrigation, planting or other hardscape / amenity elements comply with the approved plans & specifications, and that all previous deficiencies have been satisfactorily addressed. Once all corrections have been made, VDLA notifies the City that any “conditions” may be cleared and the project turned over. The third inspection (if required) is the bond release inspection.
This is a simple inspection to verify the site has been maintained properly and there is no damage to the landscape or hardscape improvements.
5. Projects may also be tracked through a tracking sheet which documents progress with color coded dates. Projects with multiple meters (Points of Connection) are inspected and tracked per POC.
6. Checklists and inspections for larger projects are provided per irrigation water meter or Point of Connection so that when conditions have been satisfied, any associated landscape areas may be “finaled” and a maintenance period started, or phases cleared for that meter without being held up by other non-compliant areas of the project.
7. VDLA will coordinate as necessary with a developer, contractor or agency personnel to conduct project turnovers and clear conditions in a timely fashion.

Riverside County Transportation & Land
Management Agency (RCTLMA)
RIVERSIDE, CA
VDLA has been providing as-needed landscape architectural services to the Riverside County Transportation and Land Management Agency (RCTLMA) since 2007. Essential to these services is a close working relationship with County departments and the ability to interface with plan applicants and contractors during inspections.
As-Needed Design Services
2009 to present
Project scopes range from a new freeway interchange to renovations to existing medians. All designs focus on low maintenance and low water and/or native plantings; some work around existing plant material to remain. Services include site assessments, schematic designs, graphic exhibits for agency meetings, construction documents for hardscape, landscape and irrigation, and cost estimates.
Inspection Services (2009 to present)
Van Dyke Landscape Architects works closely with RCTLMA to inspect existing right-of-way areas, providing assessments of planting and irrigation systems and efficacy of current maintenance crews. This scope also includes inventory of plant material, irrigation controllers and equipment and electric utilities. Recommendation are given to increase water conservation through plant material choice, irrigation upgrades and maintenance practices.
Plan Check Services (2007 to present)
Scope includes review of plans for conformance to RCTLMA submittal and graphic standards, approved landscape concept plan and Conditions of Approval, and verification that plans conform to Ordinances 460, 461 and 859.
Under this scope Van Dyke has developed a standard requirement check list for use by plan checkers and applicants to help streamline the plan checking process. Services also include meeting with applicants to aid in resolution of design issues and to ensure regulatory conformance and inter-departmental coordination.
RCTLMA Comprehensive Landscape Guidelines & Standards (2009) Van Dyke Landscape Architects was contracted to develop a comprehensive document to guide design and submittals within the agency’s jurisdiction. The process required careful review of existing guidelines, standards and regulations and identification of conflicts or deficiencies within existing documents. Van Dyke then worked closely with multiple disciplines within the agency to produce a comprehensive document which outlined current standards for design and submittals, including clarifying and/or prioritizing any conflicts between regulations. Scope included guiding water conservation standards as well as producing standard details and titleblocks, specifications and a California Friendly Plant List.
