SECTION ONE
TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION
GOALS, POLICIES, AND OBJECTIVES
65
GOALS
OCTA’s Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Regional Master Plan) is included as part of the approved Measure M2. The Regional Master Plan is a multi-agency, corridor-based approach that optimizes the performance of traffic signals based on existing traffic patterns. The goals of the program are to improve the flow of traffic on Orange County streets and roads by implementing multiagency signal synchronization.
The City of Laguna Beach is in concurrence with these goals and will continue to work cooperatively with OCTA and adjacent jurisdictions to synchronize signals throughout the City on a corridor basis.
This cooperation will serve to provide safe, efficient traffic circulation for our local needs as well as future demands, by continuing to improve travel times and reducing stops.
The City does not have a designated Traffic Management Center (TMC) or is responsible for any traffic signals within our city’s jurisdiction. However, the City is committed to collaborating with our local partners, mainly the City of Aliso Viejo and Caltrans, to improve traffic flow through arterial roadways within our city, specifically Pacific Coast Highway (also known as SR-1), Laguna Canyon Road/Broadway (also known as SR-133) and El Toro Road.
POLICIES
The City of Laguna Beach does not maintain or own our traffic signals in the City. However, this LSSP will be the basis of future ongoing efforts from the City to continue to maintain consistency with the Measure M2 funding. The purpose of the LSSP is to identify, implement and maintain coordination of traffic signals along corridors within our city and beyond its borders to regionally maintain safe and efficient flow of vehicular traffic.
The Regional Master Plan also provides the opportunity to work with neighboring agencies to accomplish mutually beneficial goals. It is the City’s desire and policy to continue participating in and supporting the Regional Master Plan. The City does not maintain local control and responsibility of all traffic signals within our jurisdiction; however, we are committed to collaborating with our local partners to coordinate any changes to the signals, equipment, and policies within our jurisdiction.
OBJECTIVES
The City of Laguna Beach plans to collaborate with our local partners to periodically evaluate and optimize signal timing in response to changing traffic conditions, volumes, and patterns. The City concurs that the Regional Master Plan is beneficial and needed to effectively move people and goods locally and regionally through efficient signal timing. By participating in the Regional Master Plan, the City recognizes the benefits gained from local signal timing and synchronization, as well as from eligible traffic signal and equipment upgrades. Moreover, the City recognizes this program as a valuable, corridor-based measure for improving air quality by reducing green-house gas emissions. In participating in the Regional Master Plan, it is the City’s objective to continue to address regional goals while serving constituents in a reasonable manner. 66

Corridor Assessment
The City of Laguna Beach does not maintain, own, or operate any traffic signals in the City. However, through local partnerships we hope we will be able to be considered for future project funding.
Specific Corridor Project Assessment
As previously mentioned, the City of Laguna Beach does not maintain, own, or operate any traffic signals in the City. However, through local partnerships we hope we will be able to be considered for future project funding.
Priorities, Approach, and System Plan
The City strives to move traffic regionally in a safe manner along our corridors, reducing commuter travel times and stops, while minimizing side-street delays that serve our citizens. Collaborating with our local partners will include periodic review of all coordination timing with every city arterial.
Through this collaboration, the City will assure that the signal timing is maintained and is periodically evaluated and fine-tuned in response to changing traffic conditions, volumes and patterns. The review of other consultants’ signal synchronization timing is also included when applicable.
The City’s is currently interested in upgrading intersections, specifically identifying the need for emergency pre-emption devices along SR-1, SR-133 and El Toro Road to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of emergency vehicles in the City. In addition, the City desires to continue participating in future Regional Master Plan corridor projects. 77
