You were nominated and selected by your peers for your professionalism and dedication to the department and the city.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL

RECOGNIZING BUILDING SAFETY MONTH
WHEREAS, the City of Kingsburg is committed to recognizing that our growth and strength depends on the safety and essential role our homes, buildings and infrastructure play, both in everyday life and when disasters strike, and;
WHEREAS, our confidence in the resilience of these buildings that make up our community is achieved through the devotion of vigilant guardians––building safety and fire prevention officials, architects, engineers, builders, tradespeople, design professionals, laborers, plumbers and others in the construction industry—who work year-round to ensure the safe construction of buildings, and; WHEREAS, these guardians are dedicated members of the International Code Council, a nonprofit that brings together local, state, territorial, tribal and federal officials who are experts in the built environment to create and implement the highest-quality codes to protect us in the buildings where we live, learn, work and play, and;
WHEREAS, these modern building codes include safeguards to protect the public from hazards such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, wildland fires, floods and earthquakes, and; WHEREAS, Building Safety Month is sponsored by the International Code Council to remind the public about the critical role of our communities’ largely unknown protectors of public safety—our local code officials—who assure us of safe, sustainable and affordable buildings that are essential to our prosperity, and; WHEREAS, “It Starts with You,” The theme for Building Safety Month 2023, encourages us all to raise awareness about building safety on a personal, local and global scale, and; WHEREAS, each year, in observance of Building Safety Month, people all over the world are asked to consider the commitment to improve building safety, resilience and economic investment at home and in the community, and to acknowledge the essential service provided to all of us by local and state building departments, fire prevention bureaus and federal agencies in protecting lives and property.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Kingsburg Public Works Department is looking for temporary assistance in completing routine operation and/or maintenance tasks.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Palomar & City Council
REPORT FROM: Alexander J. Henderson, City Manager; ICMA-CM REVIEWED BY: AP AGENDA ITEM: 2023/2024 DRAFT Capital Improvement Plan
ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ___Motion _____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Included with this report is a DRAFT capital improvement project plan for FY2024. The projects have been selected based upon priority as outlined by respective Department Heads. Also included with this report is a summary of the selection process for identifying projects for the coming year.
For FY2024, staff has identified 51 projects, totaling ~$6.6M from various funding sources. For comparison purposes, in FY23, a total of 59 projects totaling ~$9.1M were approved (status report attached).
Staff is bringing this item to Council for discussion and input. Please note, it is very likely this list will be modified as we continue to work through internal budget meetings. We are presenting this DRAFT information in order to consider public and Council input as we continue to finalize budget figures. The final CIP will be considered as part of the budget adoption by Council in June.
As part of the CIP discussion, we will also be reviewing the proposed street improvement plan for the upcoming year. The City maintains a Pavement Management System (PMS) which identifies the condition of City streets and provides as a guide for annual maintenance activities. Utilizing the PMS, staff has identified several streets for inclusion as a maintenance project in the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Budget.
PCI Range Treatment Strategy
100-70 Slurry Seal
69-50 Overlay/Base Repair
49-25 2.5” HMA/Pavement Recycling/Base Repair
24-0 Complete Reconstruction
Staff has provided initial recommendations as part of this report for street projects for the upcoming year. The improvements will be funded through local funds, grants, and federal projects. In addition to overall condition assessment, consideration is given to roads that are the most highly trafficked (18th Ave.) and the expected increased deterioration.

Meeting Date: 05/03/2023
Agenda Item: 6.1
Draper St. California St. to Sierra St. 74 Cape Seal $150,000 All of the projects above will utilize local funding from transportation allocations, including LTF 8, Gas Tax, Measure C, and SB1 funds.
We are proposing to include a small section of Riverside Ave. (21st St. to 22nd St.) that will be added to the FY23 projects, pending bid amounts. We are already reconstructing a portion of 22nd Ave from Sierra St. to Orange St. It is expected that this project will be paid in FY24, as the project requires us to remove all the pavement, excavate/recompact subgrade as well as perform concrete work along that stretch.
We are proposing the Cape Seal of Draper St. as it combines funding with the Transportation Oriented Development grant we received through Fresno Council of Governments. This will allow us to take advantage of grant funding to minimize local costs to upgrade Draper St., one of our most visible and highly trafficked streets, which is also slated to get designated bike lanes. The cape seal process is the same one that was used on Marion St. a few years ago.
The City is employing a strategy of repairing the streets in most disrepair but also pursuing preventative maintenance on streets to prolong their longevity. This approach has proven to be the most cost effective in maintaining city streets. We have also included maps that identify street work since 2013, as well as a map that shows the proposed locations for FY2024.

Annually, the City uses a needs-driven approach to develop its initial CIP. The proposed organizational process for developing the CIP involves the following steps:
Step 1: Organize the Process
Staff met to establish the administrative and policy framework within which the CIP process would operate. Individual department heads develop capital requests based upon the City’s adopted Strategic Planning goals. Council adopts an annual budget schedule that outlines the key dates for budget development.
Step 2: Develop Project Requests
All department heads submit proposed capital improvement projects. Forms were made available that allowed for the required criteria to be submitted in a standard format. The department heads developed the proposed projects based on a realistic assessment of need.
Because the City does not have sufficient funding capacity to meet all the capital needs, priorities are set. Departments that submit proposals typically will rank their own projects.
A project’s desirability depends on several factors – not only the project itself, but also on how it’s accomplished, where it may be located, how much it costs and its funding source.
Step 3: Present Departmental Projects
The objective is to put together a CIP that is sensitive to the policies that have been adopted and contained projects that related to organizational objectives.
Step 4: Screen, Evaluate and Prioritize Projects
The most difficult task for staff normally occurs when evaluating and prioritizing the projects submitted for approval. This is a critical component of the CIP process. Project selection must correspond to the amount of money assumed available for capital spending.
Shrinking funds and rising costs incurred in maintaining and rehabilitating deteriorating infrastructure make the process of selecting the most vital capital projects even more crucial and difficult. The merits of each project must be judged against the policies and criteria of the CIP process. Does the project conform in terms of location, size, service provided, relation to its service area, effect on land use patterns, and relation to public policy and community goals? More than merely a technical process, prioritization involves value preferences, policy choices and political actions. Throughout the examination of the proposed projects, staff attempted to overcome some inherent problems in the CIP process:
A. Government projects are difficult to evaluate because of their diversity and the fact that many, essentially, are not comparable. Individual CIP project requests reflect the need to serve different constituencies and diverse community values. Staff must attempt to reconcile and balance conflicting project needs across a wide array of requests.
B. Staff must continually approach the decisions required in this process rationally and analytically. While conflicting interests within the political process are acknowledged, staff must attempt to develop a plan that provides the most benefit to the entire community.
C. It is inevitable that the number of projects requested exceeds available funding. In the endeavor to provide better service to the community, departments often propose capital projects that, unfortunately, go unfunded. These projects are not dismissed, but rather are placed in the 5-year plan that is evaluated each year.
The initial review (evaluation of project impact) takes place without regard to funding availability and focuses on policies and the objectivity and judgment based on input from staff. In addition to strategic goals, staff also considers the following impacts of projects:
• Fiscal consequences.
• Health and safety effects.
• Community economic effects.
• Environmental, aesthetic, and social
effects.
• Feasibility
• Implications of deferring the project
• Amount of uncertainty and risk.
Next, the projects are placed into the appropriate funding priority group in relation to their necessity or urgency. Staff has established the following classification system to prioritize proposed projects:
Priority A - Essential
Urgent, high-priority projects that are necessary. These include projects that are required to complete a major public improvement; projects that would address an emergency, or remedy a condition dangerous to public health, welfare, and safety, projects that would provide facilities for a critically needed community plan; projects needed to correct an inequitable distribution of public improvements in the past and projects vital to the economic stability of the City. A special effort is made to find sufficient funding for all of the projects in this group.
Priority B - Desirable
High-priority projects that should be addressed as funding becomes available. These include projects that have a justifiable benefit for the community and have the validity of planning and timing that have been credibly established.
Priority C - Acceptable
Worthwhile projects to be considered if funding is available. These are projects that are adequately planned, but not absolutely required, and could be deferred to a subsequent year if budget reductions are necessary.
Priority D - Deferrable
Low-priority projects which are desirable but not essential and can be postponed without detriment to the provision of other services.
In addition, projects may be eliminated from consideration if it is determined that they no longer provide for a valid community need or are unnecessary for City operations.
Step 5: Select Projects
In the end, the availability of funds each year, as approved by the Council upon the recommendation of the City Manager, determines the number of projects that are funded.
As with the measurement of project impacts in Step 5, placing projects in priority groupings relies on the judgment of staff, and is not a completely objective process. The criteria used are not subject to precise measurement. This judgment is not arbitrary and is done within the context of the plans, policies and the goals of the organization.
Step 6: Prepare and Adopt the CIP
In Step 2 of the process, broad criteria are established to help staff plan capital improvement projects. As the process continues, and increasingly detailed information emerges, projects may be added, altered, or abandoned. Eventually, staff arrives at a final list of projects that is submitted to the residents and Council for review. Acceptance is not a commitment to finance the approved projects. Ultimately, approval of the final budget is the policy action that allocates funding to the capital improvement plan.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Palomar & City Council
REPORT FROM: David Peters, City Engineer REVIEWED BY: AH AGENDA ITEM: Traffic Policies – Speed Control/Speed Humps and Stop Signs Installation Requests ACTION REQUESTED: ___Ordinance ___Resolution ____Motion ____Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City staff occasionally receives citizen requests for the installation of speed humps and/or stop signs on various city streets or intersections. These requests are forwarded to the City’s Traffic Safety Committee (TSC). The TSC meets quarterly (as needed) and consists of staff representatives from Public Safety, Public Works and Engineering. To standardize the process for the public to make these requests, as well as performing the evaluation of the requests, the City has developed proposed standard policies for both the installation of speed humps and stop signs.
It should be noted that while staff has crafted a speed hump policy for Council review, the Council may wish to take the stance of not allowing speed control of this type at all. There are potential negative impacts, which are listed in the policy.
The proposed policies in their entirety are included for your review. Summary highlights include:
Speed Humps – A request is made by a citizen/group and preliminarily screened by the Traffic Safety Committee.
If the request passes the initial staff screening as defined in the policy, a map of the affected areas and petition are developed. The petition is circulated by the applicant and must receive 85% support of all affected property owners. If the request receives the required support, the speed humps will be installed by the City as permitted by the availability of city funds. If funds are not immediately available to install the speed hump(s), the construction can be expedited by the facilities being 100% funded by the applicants. An application fee will be included in the next update of the Master Fee Schedule to fund costs associated with development of the map and petition and processing of the request by the City.
Stop Signs – A request is made by a citizen/group and preliminarily screened by the Traffic Safety Committee. If the request passes the initial screening as defined in the policy, the City will perform a warrant study consistent with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD). According to the CA-MUTCD, STOP signs must meet certain sets of criteria so there is uniformity in their use. These criteria, called warrants, identify specific vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian volumes, accident history, and any unusual conditions which should normally be present at the intersection for a STOP sign to be installed. When used appropriately, STOP signs can increase safety and standardize expectations of all road users at the intersection. When used incorrectly, such as solely to address speeding, it can breed disrespect for the sign and generate compliance issues. Overall, it results in decreased safety. If warrants are met for the installation of stop signs, they will be installed as permitted by the availability of city funds.

Attachment 1 – Application Packet for Requesting the Installation of Speed Humps (Form A) A-1 Attachment 2 – Definitions A-2
1 INTRODUCTION TO SPEED HUMPS
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A SPEED HUMP?
The purpose of the speed hump is to reduce the speed of vehicles on residential streets where excessive speeding occurs. Excessive speed is defined as the following:
1. The 85th percentile speed (the speed at which 85% of the drivers travel at or under) is 9 or more miles per hour above the posted speed limit.
Speed Humps are not designed to reduce the volume of traffic on residential streets; however, some drivers may divert to other streets to avoid the humps.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SPEED HUMP AND SPEED BUMP? Speed Humps are used on public street in residential areas to reduce traffic speeds.
Speed Humps are typically 12 feet wide and between 3 to 4 inches high. Their parabolic shape is designed to permit vehicles to traverse them at reasonable speeds without significant discomfort to the passengers.
Speed Bumps are not used on public streets. They are typically found in shopping centers, apartment complexes, and other private properties. Speed Bumps are usually 2 feet to 3 feet wide and 4 inches to 6 inches high. They usually cannot traverse comfortably at speeds greater that 5-10 miles per hour.
WHERE ARE SPEED HUMPS USED?
Speed Humps are not intended for use on all streets. They are permitted on residential streets that have at least 1,000 feet of uninterrupted length between stop signs or other traffic control devices. They are not permitted on arterial streets or on streets that serve as Collectors or primary routes for emergency service vehicles.
HOW MANY SPEED HUMPS DO YOU INSTALL ON A STREET?
The number of humps will depend on the length of the street. For the humps to be effective, they should be installed in a series between 260 feet to 500 feet apart.
Special circumstances may call for the humps to be placed closer.
ARE SPEED HUMPS EFFECTIVE?
Speed humps have been shown to reduce the speed of vehicles on residential streets.
Studies indicate the 85th percentile speed decreased by 6 to 7 miles per hour after speed humps were installed.
2 ARE THERE DISADVANTAGES TO HAVING SPEED HUMPS INSTALLED ON MY STREET OR MY NEIGHBOR’S STREET.
Some disadvantages of installing speed humps include:
1. Speed humps have the potential to interfere with response times of emergency vehicles.
2. Speed humps increase wear and tear on residential and commercial vehicles (resulting in claims).
3. There is a potential for more vehicle noise and emergency response times are delayed.
4. Some residents feel the additional traffic signs and street markings that accompany the installation of speed hump detract from the appearance of their neighborhood and could affect the property values.
5. Some drivers may speed up between humps to make up for time lost while slowing down to go over the humps.
6. Some drivers will drive closer to the curb so that only one side of the car goes over the speed hump.
7. Speed humps are expensive to install and expensive to maintain.
8. Speed humps have the potential to increase air pollution as well as reducing fuel efficiency and increasing gas consumption.
9. There could be a diversion of traffic to adjoining parallel street from streets where speed humps are installed.
City of Kingsburg
Policies and Procedures for Speed Hump Installation and Removal 3 I. Installation of Speed Humps
A. Request Process
1. The initial request for the installation of speed humps must originate from a resident, school, or other entity whose property is abutting the requested street segment. The requester must be willing to act as the primary contact and take responsibility for notification and the compilation of evidence of support for their requested street should it be determined eligible.
2. The request should identify the street and blocks where the applicant(s) desires speed humps, and the name, phone number and address for a contact person. Submitted segments may be divided or otherwise revised at the sole determination of the City Engineer. Use Attachment 1-Form A Installation of this policy as the application packet for requesting the installation of speed humps.
Please sign and return the form to:

Traffic Safety Committee
1401 Draper Street
Kingsburg, CA 93631
B. Eligibility
1. The City Engineer will conduct the necessary traffic engineering studies and determine the street's eligibility for speed hump installation based on the following policy criteria:
a. The street may not be a private street and must be accepted into the city-maintained street system.
b. The street must be designated as a local road or a “residence district” as defined in the California Vehicle Code and may not be designated as a Major Arterial, an Arterial, a Minor Arterial, an Industrial Collector or a Collector; The road shall be either a residential road or local road defined as follows:
i. For the purposes of this policy a residential road, or “residence district,” as defined in the California Vehicle Code section 515 is that portion of a highway and the
property contiguous thereto, other than a business district, (a) upon one side of which highway, within a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by City of Kingsburg
Policies and Procedures for Speed Hump Installation and Removal 4 13 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures, or (b) upon both sides of which highway, collectively, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 16 or more separate
dwelling houses or business structures. A residence district may be longer than one-quarter of a mile in the above ratio of separate dwelling houses or business structures to the length of the highway exists. The “residence district”
determination shall be consistent with California Vehicle Code Section 240.
ii. A local road is defined as a road intended primarily to provide direct access to abutting residential buildings.
Residential buildings include separate dwelling houses, apartment buildings, or multiple dwelling houses.
c. The street may not be designated an Emergency Response Route. The street will be considered an Emergency Response Route if the installation of speed humps will significantly increase response times to other local streets within the residential area.
d. The street may not be designated as a bus or commercial vehicle truck route.
e. The minimum length of the street or street segment under consideration for speed humps shall not be less than 1,000 feet which, is uninterrupted by stop signs or any other traffic control device. Speed humps will not be considered for installation on cul-de-sacs unless they have an uninterrupted street length of 1,000 feet or more.
f. The local street or residence district must have a paved width of 40 feet or less and have no more than two traffic lanes.
g. The sum of traffic volumes on the local street or residence district for both directions must be more than 500 but less than 2,000 vehicles per day.
h. The measured 85th percentile from the 24-hour speed profile must exceed the established posted speed limit by 9 miles per hour or more OR there must be five (5) or more reported speed-related traffic collisions within the subject street segment during the last 12 months of recorded data.
i. Speed humps should not be placed within 150 feet from any intersection or traffic control device such as stop signs, signals, etc.
City of Kingsburg
Policies and Procedures for Speed Hump Installation and Removal 5 j. Other factors such as, but not limited to, severe horizontal or vertical curves, excessive street downgrades or upgrades (>+5%), and inadequate sight distance to the humps will affect consideration for eligibility.
2. On a case-by-case basis, staff may recommend speed hump installation on streets that have a paved street width greater than 40 feet not to exceed 44 feet wide. The following criteria is in addition to the preceding criteria above and is only recommended if the following conditions are met:
a. The street or street segment must be defined as of local residential density as described in the California Vehicle Code, and; b. The street must be designated a local street by the latest functional usage and federal-aid system maps. In the case that the street or street segment has not been submitted or is not shown on the latest functional usage maps, a local street or road” means a street or road that primarily provides access to abutting residential property and meets the following three conditions:
1. Roadway width of not more than 44 feet.
2. Not more than one-half of a mile of uninterrupted length by official traffic control devices.
3. Not more than one traffic lane in each direction.
c. The street must have an established speed zone of either 25 or 30 MPH; any street with an established speed zone of 35 MPH or greater will not be considered. Established speed zones of 35 MPH or greater serve as a Collector designation and will not be considered.
d. The sum of traffic volumes for both traffic directions must not have an average daily traffic that exceeds 2,000 vehicles per day or the street will be considered of Collector designation and will not be considered for speed hump installation.
3. The City Engineer, based on the criteria set forth in this policy and safety concerns, will have the sole determination whether it is feasible to install speed humps on streets with a paved width between 40 and 44 feet wide.
4. If the street is determined not to be eligible for speed humps, the applicant(s) will be notified in writing of the reason for ineligibility and other traffic safety strategies will be considered.
City of Kingsburg
Policies and Procedures for Speed Hump Installation and Removal 6 C. Notification/Evidence of Support
1. If the street is determined to be eligible for consideration, City staff will define the approximate speed hump location(s) on a map, which will be provided to the applicant(s) with a petition of notification on which to gather evidence of support. The petition area will be determined by City staff and will include primarily those properties facing or abutting the street segment on which a speed hump is proposed to be located.
2. Notification/evidence of support must be submitted on forms produced by City staff or exact duplicates of it. Documents with missing required information will not be accepted as valid under any circumstances.
3. Notification/evidence of support petitions must be completed and returned to City staff by the established deadline for the segment to be considered in the ranking process. Requests without petitions will be considered incomplete and will be deferred for further consideration in the subsequent funding cycles until the subject requests are re-submitted with the required support petitions.
4. Each property identified by City staff within the petition area must be represented on the petition by signature. Any property not properly identified with a petition signature will be considered as opposed to the installation of speed humps.
5. Resident property managers or landowner signatures may be considered as approval for all units of multi-family properties of four or more units. The manager or landowner must be properly identified on the petition form.
6. Any person who wishes to alter their indication of support on the petition form after its submittal must do so by individual letter of request to the City Engineer.
7. A 85% (supportive majority) vote must be met to continue for speed hump installation.
D. Funding Criteria
1. Funds for speed hump installation will be determined by the Kingsburg City Council.
2. A street segment’s ranking score is determined by summing the following factors:

3. Traffic Diversion: Prior to the construction of speed humps along a street segment, traffic studies will be conducted along adjacent alternate routes to provide base data to document any occurrence of traffic shifts. If the adjacent alternate route is requested to be considered for speed humps at a later date, the results of the “before” and “after” study will be compared.
If the segment is eligible for speed hump consideration and any increases in either traffic speeds or volumes are shown, consideration for those increases will be given in the funding process as follow:
• For every percent of increase of the “before” 85thpercentiles peed: +2 points;
• For every percent of increase of the 24-hour volume: +2 points.
4. The street segment with the higher-ranking score will be considered to have City of Kingsburg

E. Cost Responsibility
1. The City of Kingsburg will be responsible for all costs associated with design and installation of the speed humps unless the project is privately funded.
2. A location that does not receive speed hump installation funding approval will automatically be considered in the following cycles, for a maximum of three (3) additional years (three funding cycles). After the three-year time period, the request expires. Incomplete requests that later become complete within the three-year limit will not receive additional time for funding consideration. A new written request may be submitted subject to the policies and procedures in effect at the time of request. Each request requires a separate and independent evidence of support petition.
3. These procedures do not preclude City staff from completing any eligible requests out of ranking order, should alternative funds become available.
4. Private Funding
a. Once a location is determined to be eligible for speed hump installation, but not funded under the designated annual budget, installation may be expedited by either voluntary payment of 100% of all costs.
b. Requests for a private funding estimate of cost must be made in writing to the City Engineer.
c. Voluntary payments must be submitted in one payment for the full cost of installation, according to the cost statement provided to the applicant(s). No partial payments will be accepted.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
POLICY FOR INSTALLATION OF STOP SIGNS
Effective Date: April 2023
Approved by:
David Peters, PE, TE
City Engineer
Daniel Galvez
Director of Public Works
1 CITY OF KINGSBURG
POLICY FOR INSTALLATION OF STOP SIGNS
PURPOSE
This STOP Sign Warrant Policy describes the process and criteria used when determining the installation of STOP signs. It incorporates guidance from the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD), the California Vehicle Code (CVC), and the City of Kingsburg Municipal Code.
According to the CA-MUTCD, STOP signs must meet certain sets of criteria so there is uniformity in their use. These criteria, called warrants, identify specific vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian volumes, accident history, and any unusual conditions which should normally be present at the intersection for a STOP sign to be installed.
The purpose of a STOP sign is to assign the right-of-way and regulate traffic. Per CA- MUTCD Section 2B.04.05, a “multi-way” stop control can be useful as a safety measure at intersections if certain traffic conditions exist” and is often most effective when “used where the volume of traffic on intersecting roads is approximately equal.”
When used appropriately, STOP signs can increase safety and standardize expectations of all road users at the intersection.
When used incorrectly, such as solely to address speeding, it can breed disrespect for the sign and generate compliance issues. Overall, it results in decreased safety.
APPLICABILITY
The following principles define the function and appropriate use of STOP signs:
1. Effective traffic control, which can include the installation of STOP signs, depends not only on appropriate application of devices but also on reasonable enforcement of regulations as well as compliance from all parties who use the road.
2. Other methods of slowing traffic to the posted speed limit should be considered before a STOP sign is used to slow local traffic.
3. STOP signs should be used where warranted by facts and field studies. The recommendation to approve additional STOP sign locations may follow the standards established within the CAMUTCD.
4. The functional street classification system, as described in the City of Kingsburg’s General Plan (Circulation & Mobility), shall be used as the reference system for defining street types used in the warranting process.
5. STOP signs are only to be installed at intersections where drivers cannot safely apply the rightof-way rule.
6. STOP signs control vehicular traffic conflicts at intersections and improve safety to all users at an intersection.
7. STOP signs may be installed to support neighborhood traffic management. 2 8. Excessive use of signs should be avoided.
a. It is recommended to use regulatory and warning signs – including STOP signs – conservatively. These signs, if used excessively, tend to lose their effectiveness. b. Unwarranted STOP signs increase fuel consumption as well as air and noise pollution. c. Unwarranted STOP signs may cause an increase in potential traffic collisions.
9. This Policy can be applied to intersections with no current stop control or intersections that have only partial control (T-intersections or two-way stop control).
A STOP sign control should NOT be used in the following conditions:
1. A STOP sign is intended to only be used as a traffic measure to control vehicular speed or for traffic calming purposes.
2. A STOP sign located at any entrance or intersection controlled by traffic signs – except for channelized turn lane, if it is separated from the adjacent travel lanes moving in the same direction by an island.
3. A STOP sign shall not be erected at any entrance to an intersection when such entrance is controlled by an official traffic control signal, nor at any railroad grade crossing which is controlled by automatic signals, gates, or other train-actuated control devices except as provided in CVC Section 21355 – Stop Signs. The conflicting commands from two types of control devices are confusing.
4. A STOP sign located at an unsignalized intersection with YIELD sign(s) and the stop control is installed at conflicting or opposing approach to YIELD approach(es).
CRITERIA AND EVALUATION
The City is required by state law to comply with CA-MUTCD and CVC guidelines. Staff will recommend the installation of a STOP sign only if one or more of the CA-MUTCD STOP sign warrant criteria and considerations are met.
In addition, the City Engineer will determine the need for STOP signs in his or her evaluation of the criteria set forth herein.
Minor-Street STOP Signs
The use of STOP signs on minor-street approaches may be considered if engineering judgment indicates that a stop is always required due to vehicle volume, restricted visibility, and/or collision history.
STOP signs on minor streets may include but would not be limited to the following:
1. Two-way STOP-signs on minor streets
2. Single-stop locations on T-intersection on minor streets, and
3. Single-stop locations on one-way minor streets
STOP-sign installation may be considered on minor streets if ANY of the following conditions are determined to exist by the Director of Public Works or his or her designee:
1. Traffic Volume
a. The vehicular traffic volumes on the major street exceed 6,000 vehicles per day, or 3 b. Engineering judgment deems that the installation of a STOP sign is warranted after observing and analyzing the volume of all traffic (cars, bicycles, pedestrians) within an eighthour (8-hour) peak period. The 8-hour period does not necessarily need to be consecutive hours.
2. Visibility
The visibility at the intersection is restricted such that it requires road users to stop to adequately observe conflicting traffic on the major street.
3. Collision History
Three or more collisions within a 12-month period, or five or more collisions within a two-year period, where the cause of collision can be attributed to right-of-way violations.
4. Location
One or more of the following factors mentioned below are met:
a. The STOP-sign is at an intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of-way rule would not be expected to provide reasonable compliance with the law.
b. The STOP-sign is at the entrance of a designated through highway or street. c. The STOP-sign is at an unsignalized intersection in a signalized corridor or area. d. The speed of approaching traffic.
e. If the minor street’s safe approach speed is less than 10 miles per hour (MPH). f. A licensed engineer has determined that the area(s) as high-pedestrian generators (high concentrations of pedestrian traffic) such as in the vicinity of schools, churches, playgrounds, and shopping centers.
g. Engineering judgment deems that the direction conflicts most with established pedestrian crossing activity or school walking routes.
h. Street(s) entering an arterial or collector.
i. Streets and / or intersections where obscured vision, dips, or bumps already require drivers to use lower operating speeds.
j. Intersection(s) where a combination of high speed, restricted view, and serious accidents history can be corrected by the installation of a STOP sign. k. Additional site-specific criteria as permitted.
Multi-Way STOP Signs
Multi-way stop control can be useful as a safety measure at intersections if certain traffic conditions expecting other road users to stop. Multi-way stop control is used where the volume of traffic on the intersecting roads is approximately equal - meaning approach volumes for the minor/major legs reach 4 45 percent / 55 percent of the total intersection volume. Multi-way STOP signs may include all-way STOP signs or 3-way STOP signs at a T-intersection.
The installation of multi-way STOP signs may be considered on minor streets if ANY of the following conditions are determined to exist by the Director of Public Works or his or her designee:
1. Interim Device
A traffic signal is warranted at the intersection. A multi-way stop is an interim measure to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the installation of the traffic control signal. In this situation, STOP signs are not intended to be permanently installed.
2. Collision History
Five or more reported collisions that are susceptible to correction by a STOP-sign (right-turn, left-turn, and right-angle collisions) in a 12-month period.
3. High Vehicle Volume
a. If the 85th-percentile approach speed of the major-street traffic does not exceed 40 mph:
The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any eight (8) hours of an average day and the combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for the same eight (8) hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour. b. or, if the 85th percentile speed of the major-street traffic exceeds 40 mph:
The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 210 vehicles per hour (i.e., 70% of the above requirements) for any eight (8) hours of an average day and the combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 140 units per hour for the same eight (8) hours, with an average delay to minor- street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour.
4. Low to Medium Traffic Volume and Delay
The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 240 vehicles per hour for any eight (8) hours of an average day and the combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 160 units per hour for the same eight (8) hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 24 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour.
5. Visibility Warrant
There is inadequate visibility to maintain safe traffic operations. 5 APPLICATION AND SUBMITTAL PROCESS FOR STOP SIGN WARRANT Residents and business owners can request a Stop Sign Warrant Analysis using the City’s STOP Sign Warrant Request Form.
The STOP Sign Warrant Request Form enables Kingsburg residents to request the possible initiation of a STOP sign warrant analysis in accordance with the City of Kingsburg’s adopted Stop Sign Warrant Policy for City-owned streets.
