AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Adopt a resolution to adopt the Citywide Travel Safety Plan (Plan), Project No. 4293 Citywide Traffic Safety Assessment (Staff Contact: Matt Cano, Assistant City Manager, 408-586-3012; Roberto Alonzo, PW Division Manager - Engineering, 408-586-3316)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 1/23/2024
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution to adopt the Citywide Travel Safety Plan (Plan), Project No. 4293 Citywide Traffic Safety Assessment
BACKGROUND:
The Citywide Travel Safety Assessment, Project No. 4293, is an approved project in the 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program (Project). This Project provides a five-year analysis of crash data and trends within the City and recommends countermeasures and safety improvements within a Citywide Travel Safety Plan.
The Citywide Travel Safety Plan summarizes the existing safety context for the City of Milpitas based on crash records obtained from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database. This data has been used to identify Citywide safety trends, high-crash locations, and locations with unusual crash patterns or high-crash severities. The analysis was conducted using a network screening process for the City-maintained roadway system using crash records spanning a five-year period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2021.
ANALYSIS:
The recently adopted (2024-2028) 5-year Capital Improvement Program includes Project No. 4293 Citywide Traffic Safety Assessment, the “Project”.
Data Collection
The following data was collected for use in the crash data analysis:
1. Roadway Network
a. The roadway network within the City classifies roadway segments, based on functional design and capacity, as either major arterial, minor arterial, collector, or local road to develop classification specific crash rates.
2. Intersections
a. Intersections throughout the City were grouped by control type as either signalized or non- signalized.
3. Crash Data
a. The five-year crash data collected from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2021 was used for the network screening analysis. Using data from the past five-year period is sufficient in identifying potential trends in crashes by location and type, while not being outdated as to have data that would include long-term technology and cultural changes. The dataset includes injury crashes but does not include property damage only crashes. The crash data collected contain GPS data used in the statistical analysis. In total, 928 crashes were reported during the five- year period.
4. Average Daily Traffic
a. Traffic volume data was collected in 2022. Volumes were used to develop crash rates.
Data Analysis
Using a network screening process, locations within the City that would most likely benefit from safety enhancements were identified. Guidance documents utilized during the analysis include the Local Roadway Safety Manual and the Highway Safety Manual. The network screening process evaluated intersection and roadway segments by the number of crashes, critical crash rate, equivalent property damage amount, severity of injuries, crash type, bicyclist and pedestrian involvement, and primary collision factor, and then identified trends in areas that had more of a given type of crash than would be expected for that type of location when compared to similar locations either within the City or across the State. The intersection and roadway segment network screening can be found in Appendices A and B of Attachment 1, respectively.
Other factors evaluated in the network screening process include comparing the percentage of fatal and severe injury (K+SI) crash data to the statewide averages of the 16 challenge areas identified by the California Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), lighting condition, time of day, and the total number of crashes per year. There was an observed 44% decrease in the number of crashes between 2017 and 2020, with reduced travel during the COVID-19 pandemic likely being a contributing factor.
Public Engagement
City and Kimley-Horn and Associates staff prepared a Public Engagement Plan to reach a broad cross-section of the community throughout the City. Staff conducted multiple public outreach meetings, online surveys including an interactive online map to capture the community’s interest, comments, and priority for improvements, and presentations to the City’s Transportation Subcommittee. These outreach efforts were carried out to encourage and maximize public participation.
The public engagement effort was kicked-off with a virtual meeting held on March 15, 2023. Following the kick- off meeting, the first round of online public input with the interactive map was opened from March 15, 2023 through April 28, 2023. After processing the first round of input, an in-person public meeting was held at the Milpitas Library on May 17, 2023, followed by a second round of online public input with draft countermeasures from May 17, 2023 through July 28, 2023.
Draft Countermeasures
Staff prepared a countermeasure toolbox to address the traffic safety concerns identified through the analysis and public engagement. Countermeasures were selected based on type of location, crash type addressed, and crash modification factor, or the expected reduction of crashes after implementation.
After being shared with the public, the draft countermeasure toolbox was reviewed by City Police, Public Works, and Planning Department staff.
Proposed Case-Study Locations for Near Term Improvements As a result of the Citywide network screening analysis, 25 project case study locations were selected for further analysis and development of site-specific safety improvement recommendations. Each location includes a list of recommended safety countermeasures with corresponding crash modification factor, the number of crashes anticipated to be reduced, 10-year crash reduction estimate and benefit, planning level construction cost estimate, and a potential funding source. The potential safety countermeasures identified reflect safety improvements that can be applied to reduce the likelihood of future crashes and were subjected to a benefit/cost assessment to determine their potential return on investment.
These countermeasures can be implemented in the Near-Term (0-3 years), Mid-Term (3-5 years), or Long- Term (5+ years). The term of the improvement was determined by the estimated cost and timeline to implement.
The total estimated cost of improvements for all 25 Case Study Locations is approximately $7.5 million. Staff will look to implement the improvements in stages as various local, state, and federal funding opportunities arise.
Transportation Subcommittee
Staff presented at the City’s Transportation Subcommittee on April 12, 2023 to provide an update on the Project, and again on October 25, 2023 to present the findings of the Travel Safety Plan. The second meeting
focused on four main areas: 1) Project Background, 2) Project Timeline, 3) Crash Data Analysis Results and Public Engagement Summary and; 4) Safety Improvements.
After receiving the presentation on the draft Travel Safety Plan, the subcommittee provided feedback to the City Staff and Consultant Design Teams and inquired about the crash data that was analyzed each year over the five-year data period. The estimated costs for the improvements was a topic of interest as well and how these costs and number of accidents could help determine priority locations. The subcommittee also inquired about the Consultant’s recommendations for future funding sources. Staff incorporated the requested information in Table 4: Priority Locations and Appendix E: Project Sheets of the Travel Safety Plan.
Additional items that were discussed during the presentation include but are not limited to the following:
1. Rumble Strips and their installation
2. Factoring school locations into the safety analysis
3. Extending an elongated red light time as an extra buffer as a way to minimize car crashes at intersections.
4. Flashing Beacons – particularly at Washington Drive and Arizona Avenue Implementation Plan
The steps outlined below will be taken to ensure proper implementation of goals, measure the effectiveness of the Travel Safety Plan, and determine when updates are needed.
1. Conducting routine progress meetings to track implementation
2. Continuing to monitor and record traffic incidents on local roadways
3. Maintaining a list of transportation safety focus areas, based on historical crash data
4. Considering an update to the plan after no more than five to seven years Funding Opportunities
Competitive funding resources have been identified to assist in the development and implementation of the safety projects identified. The Citywide Travel Safety Plan has been prepared to put the City in a favorable position when the time comes to apply for the State and Federal assistance. Grant funding opportunities available include the Highway Safety Improvement Program, Caltrans Active Transportation Program, State Transportation Improvement Program, and the Safe Streets and Roads for All Program. Several of these funding opportunities will be accepting applications in 2024. City staff will look to pursue these and similar funding opportunities as they arise.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Do not adopt the resolution adopting the Citywide Travel Safety Plan.
Pros: None.
Cons: The Citywide Travel Safety Plan provides guidance for development and implementation of safety projects. A document of support is required for various types of grant funding requests. A denial would delay the various projects and potentially miss any deadlines for grant opportunities.
Reason not Recommended: Adoption of the Citywide Travel Safety Plan is highly recommended when applying for State and Federal transportation safety grants.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption Citywide Travel Safety Plan Document. However, $8 million funding is required to implement all proposed improvements as shown in the Plan. The Plan identifies potential funding opportunities from local, regional, and state sources that could be used toward completion of these improvements.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):
The project is exempt under Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies) of the CEQA guidelines. A Notice of Exemption (NOE) was filed with the County of Santa Clara on January 9, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution to adopt the Citywide Travel Safety Plan, Project No. 4293 Citywide Traffic Safety Assessment.

1. INTRODUCTION
The City of Milpitas’ Citywide Travel Safety Plan has several notable purposes. The first is to identify traffic safety improvements based on a review of crash data and input from City staff, stakeholders, and the community. This project also provides the City with a foundation for a decision-making framework so that it can identify, prioritize, and implement proven safety countermeasures from the City’s toolbox in the following years. This report can also serve as an ongoing resource as City staff identify and pursue funding through various programs to implement the identified safety improvements.
This Citywide Travel Safety Plan summarizes the existing safety context for the City of Milpitas based on crash records obtained from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database. This data has been used to identify Citywide safety trends, high-crash locations, and locations with unusual crash patterns or high-crash severities. The analysis was conducted using a network screening process for the City-maintained roadway system using crash records spanning a five-year period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2021. Section 3 of the report describes the analysis techniques that were used and why these methods were chosen.
1.1. Background
The City of Milpitas is located in the Bay Area in northern California and is the northeastern gateway to Santa Clara County (see Figure 1). Situated north of San Jose, Milpitas residents live within 15 miles of technology employers within the Silicon Valley. Milpitas is home to over 80,000 residents (as of 2020). There are two high schools serving Milpitas residents: Milpitas High School and Calaveras Hills High School. Major retail destinations within the City include the Great Mall Shopping Center, McCarthy Ranch, Milpitas Square, and The Seasons Marketplace. Milpitas is home to many jobs, with the largest employers being Cisco Systems, KLA Corporation, Flex, Western Digital (SanDisk), and Linear Technology.
Milpitas has a vast transportation network that ranges from local access via neighborhood streets and collectors, to regional access via freeways and expressways through the City. Interstate 880 (I-880) runs north-south through the western portion of the City and connects Alameda County to Silicon Valley. Interstate 680 (I-680) runs north- south through the eastern portion of the City and connects Contra Costa County to Silicon Valley. Used as a primary connector for regional traffic, Calaveras Boulevard (State Route 237) runs east-west between I-880 and I-680 and approximately 80% of the trips do not start or end in Milpitas. State Route 237 (SR-237), which begins in the City of Milpitas, connects to US-101 and El Camino Real in the Peninsula. Due to its location, the I-880 and SR-237 interchange is often congested during peak periods of travel, resulting in vehicle queues and delay onto City streets.
Other major roadways in Milpitas providing regional traffic include Montague Expressway and Great Mall Parkway/ Tasman Drive/Capitol Avenue.
For public transportation, BART recently opened the Milpitas BART Station in June 2020, which provides access to the rest of the BART network, which serves major cities such as San Francisco, Oakland, Fremont, Dublin/ Pleasanton, Richmond, and Pittsburg. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) also provides light rail train and bus service in Milpitas, connecting the City to the rest of Santa Clara County.

2. DATA SOURCES
The following data was obtained from the City for use in crash data analysis.
2.1. Roadway Network
The crash analysis, which is described in detail in Section 3 (Data Analysis) , used California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans’) roadway classification system. The roadway network classification was assigned to each corridor roadway segment as either a major arterial, minor arterial, collector, or local road to develop crash rates specific to the functional design and capacity. Comparative statistics were stratified by roadway classification (i.e., only major arterials are compared to major arterials).
2.2. Intersections
Intersections throughout the City were grouped by control type as either signalized or non-signalized. The safety analysis is similarly stratified with similar control types (i.e., signalized intersections are only compared to signalized intersections). Note that intersection crashes include those which reportedly occurred within a 250-foot radius of the intersection; all other crashes are considered to be segment crashes in the safety data analysis.
2.3. Crashes
Crash data for the five-year period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2021 was used for the network screening analysis. Using data for the past five-year period is sufficient in identifying potential trends in crashes by location and type, while not being outdated as to have data that would include long-term technology and cultural changes. The Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), maintained by the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC) at UC Berkeley, maps all injury crashes in California using data obtained through SWITRS. This dataset includes injury crashes but does not include property damage only (PDO) crashes. The latest data available from SWITRS was used in this analysis (ending in December 2021) as it typically takes CHP 12-18 months to upload and process the crash data.
In total, 928 crashes were reported on the City’s transportation network from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021. These crash records contained GPS data and were used in the statistical analysis.
2.4. Annual Average Daily Traffic
Traffic volume data was collected in 2022 as part of the City’s Traffic Modeling and Operations Analysis. This data included average daily traffic (ADT) values for roadway segments throughout the City for use in development of crash rates.

3. DATA ANAL YSIS
Using a network screening process, locations within the City that would most likely benefit from safety enhancements were identified. The outcome of this analysis helps inform the identification and prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure safety countermeasures that are most likely to improve roadway safety in the City of Milpitas.
This method was selected because it is well established and condusive to large-scale safety analyses, such as citywide safety assessments.The network screening process ranks intersections and roadway segments by the number of crashes that occurred at each location over the analysis period, and then identifies areas that had more of a given type of crashes than would be expected for that type of location. Analysis methods such as the critical crash rate and equivalent property damage only were also used to determine crash frequency and severity at each location. Using historic crash data, crash risk factors for the entire City were explored. The following sections describe the data analysis process.
3.1. Guiding Materials
3.1.1. Local Roadway Safety Manual
The purpose of Local Roadway Safety Manual: A Manual for California’s Local Road Owners (Version 1.6, April 2022) is to encourage local agencies to pursue a proactive approach to identifying and analyzing safety issues, while preparing to compete for project funding opportunities. A proactive approach is defined as analyzing the safety of the entire roadway network by through either a one-time, network wide analysis, or by routine analyses of the roadway network.1
These methods are focused on identifying systemic issues that can be addressed through countermeasures that are applied more universally than just applying spot treatments every time there is a crash. This process aims to match the identified issues with potential countermeasures. Each countermeasure comes with a Crash Modification Factor (CMF), a multiplicative factor used to compute the number of expected crashes after the implementation of a given countermeasure. The CMFs are used to calculate benefit/cost ratios.
3.1.2. Highway Safety Manual
The first edition of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) was published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in 2010. The HSM presents numerous methods for quantitatively estimating the frequency and severity of crashes at a variety of road and intersection types.2 This four-part manual is divided into Parts: A) Introduction, Human Factors, and Fundamentals, B) Roadway Safety Management Process, C) Predictive Method, D) Crash Modification Factors.
Chapter 4 of Part B of the HSM discusses the Network Screening process. The Network Screening Process is a tool for an agency to analyze their entire network and identify/rank locations that (based on the implementation of a countermeasure) are most likely to least likely to realize a reduction in the frequency of crashes.
The HSM identifies five steps in this process:3
1. Establish Focus: Identify the purpose or intended outcome of the network screening analysis. This decision will influence data needs, the selection of performance measures and the screening method that can be applied.
2. Identify Network and Establish Reference Populations: Specify the types of sites or facilities being screened (i.e., segments, intersections, geometrics) and identify groupings of similar sites or facilities.
3. Select Performance Measures: There are a variety of performance measures available to evaluate the potential to reduce crash frequency at a site. In this step, the performance measure is selected as a function of the screening focus and the data and analytical tools available. 1 Local Roadway Safety Manual (Version 1.3) 2016.

4. Select Screening Method: There are three principal screening methods described in this chapter (i.e., ranking, sliding window, peak searching). Each method has advantages and disadvantages; the most appropriate method for a given situation should be selected.
5. Screen and Evaluate Results: The final step in the process is to conduct the screening and analysis and evaluate the results.
The HSM provides several statistical methods for screening roadway networks to identify high risk locations based on overall crash histories. In addition to flat crash quantities, the method used in this study is referred to as Critical Crash Rate (CCR).
3.2. Analysis Techniques
3.2.1. Crash Analysis
The initial steps of the crash analysis involved establishing sub-populations of roadway segments and intersections that have similar characteristics. For this study, intersections were grouped by their control type (Signalized and Unsignalized) and segments by their roadway category (Major Arterial, Minor Arterial, Collector, Other). Individual crash rates were calculated for each sub-population. The population level crash rates were then used to assess whether a specific location has more or fewer crashes than expected. These sub-populations were also used to determine typical crash patterns to help identify locations where unusual numbers of specific crash types are identified.
3.2.2. Network Screening Analysis
The network screening process ranks intersections and roadway segments by the number of crashes that occurred at each location over the analysis period, and then identifies areas that had more of a given type of crashes than would be expected for that type of location. These crash type factors were 1) crash injury (fatal injuries, major injuries, other visible injuries, complaint of pain) 2) crash type (broadside, rear-end, sideswipe, head-on, hit object, overturned, bicycle, pedestrian, other), 3) environmental factors (lighting, wet roads), and 4) driver behavior (impaired and aggressive driving). With these additional factors, the locations were further analyzed and assigned a new rank.
From the results of the network screening analyses, a short-list of locations was chosen based on crash activity, crash severity, crash patterns, location type, and area of the City to provide a variety of locations covering a wide cross section of safety challenges and improvement opportunities. The intent is to populate the safety countermeasure toolbox with mitigation measures that will be applicable to most of the crash activity in the City.
Twenty-five locations have been selected for mitigation analysis and project sheets with site-specific improvements were developed. Section 8 presents the priority locations and the listed improvements, which are found in greater detail in Appendix E.
The results of the network screening analysis are shown in Appendix A and Appendix B. Appendix A presents all of the intersections with three or more crashes, and Appendix B presents the roadway segments with three or more crashes. The appendices are color-coded to highlight crash trends and emphasis areas for further study and countermeasure development.
3.3. Critical Crash Rate (CCR) Analysis
The Highway Safety Manual (HSM), developed by AASHTO, describes the CCR method, which provides a statistical review of locations to determine where risk is higher than that experienced by other similar locations. It is also the first step in analyzing for patterns that may suggest systemic issues that can be addressed at that location, and proactively at others to prevent new safety challenges from emerging.
The CCR analysis compares the observed crash rate to the expected crash rate at a particular location based on facility type and traffic volume using a locally calculated average crash rate for the specific type of intersection or roadway segment being analyzed. Based on traffic volumes and a weighted Citywide crash rate for each facility type, a critical crash rate threshold is established at the 95% confidence level to determine locations with higher
Milpitas Draft Final Citywide Travel Safety Plan
8 CITYWIDE TRAVEL SAFETY PLAN
City of Milpitas
City of Milpitas | December 2023
crash rates that are unlikely to be random. The threshold is calculated for each location individually based on its traffic volume and the crash profile of similar facilities. A CCR differential value of greater than zero reflects a location that has a higher crash rate than facilities with similar volumes, while a negative CCR differential value signifies a below-average crash rate. It should be noted that the CCR does not reflect the severity of the crashes occurring at the location, but rather the number of crashes for the given volume.
Figure 2 presents the intersections and roadway segments according to their crash rate.
The top three roadway segments with the highest CCR differential values were:
) Ranch Drive between McCarthy Blvd and the McCarthy Ranch Shopping Center Driveway with a total of 5 crashes and a local critical crash rate differential of 5.17. ) Barber Lane between Bellew Dr and Alder Dr with a total of 3 crashes and a local critical crash rate differential of 3.50.
) S Main Street between Corning Avenue and Curtis Avenue, which has a total of 8 crashes and a local critical crash rate differential of 0.36.
The top three intersections with the highest CCR differential values were:
) Butler St and West Calaveras Blvd, with 14 crashes and a local critical crash rate differential of 2.10. ) Edsel Dr and S Temple Dr, with a total of 4 crashes and a local critical crash rate differential of 0.75 ) Great Mall Pkwy and Montague Expy, with a total of 35 crashes and a local critical crash rate differential of 0.69

3.4. Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO)
The Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) method is described in the Highway Safety Manual (HSM). This method assigns weighting factors to crashes based on injury level (fatal, severe injury, other visible injury, complaint of pain) to develop a property damage only score. An EPDO score allows for a fair comparison of crash severity across years or study periods, as this normalized unit takes into account inflation and cost escalation. For example, the cost to society for all injury crashes increased by 12.7% between the 2020 edition of the Local Roadway Safety Manual and the 2022 edition. Using the EPDO methodology normalizes the data and accounts for the increase in cost from inflation. In this analysis, the injury crash costs were calculated for each location (based on the latest Caltrans injury costs). This value is then divided by the injury cost for a property damage only crash. The resulting number is the equivalent number of property damage only crashes at each site. This value allows all locations to be compared based on injury crash costs (HSM, Chapter 4).
EPDO FORMULA
Where,
EPDO = Equivalent Property Damage Only (in units of crashes) NF = Number of fatal crashes
NS = Number of severe injury crashes
NO = Number of other visible injury crashes
NC = Number of complaint of pain crashes
The cost to society for each crash type along roadway segments is as follows:
) Fatal: $2,843,000
) Severe: $2,843,000
) Other Visible Injury: $159,900
) Complaint of Pain: $90,900
) Property Damage Only: $14,900
Source: Highway Safety Manual
Locations with fatal and severe injury crashes will have a higher EPDO value compared to locations with less severe injury crashes. Figure 3 presents the EPDO value of intersections and roadway segments in the City.
The top three intersections with the highest EPDO values are:
) The intersection with the highest EPDO value was W Calaveras Boulevard and Serra Way, with an EPDO value of 859 (4 Severe Injury crashes).
) Great Mall Pkwy and Montague Expy, with an EPDO value of 374 (1 severe injury crash). ) N Milpitas Blvd and N Abel St, with an EPDO value of 327 (1 fatal and 1 severe injury crash).
The top three roadway segments with the highest EPDO values are:
) Main Street between W Curtis Avenue and Corning Avenue, with an EPDO value of 540 (1 Fatal Crash, 2 Severe Injury crashes).
) N McCarthy Blvd between Dixon Landing Rd and the Sprig Center Driveway, with an EPDO value of 355 (2 severe injury crashes)
) E Calaveras Blvd between N Abel St and N Milpitas Blvd (1 severe injury crash)

4. SAFETY TRENDS
The following sections contain the results of the safety data analysis process which include evaluation of the City of Milpitas’ fatal and severe injury (K+SI) crashes compared against the statewide K+SI crashes. Other evaluations included are crashes by cause, pedestrian and bicycle crashes, and primary collision factor. This is a general comparison of the Citywide level to the statewide to gauge the general trends within the City.
4.1. Severity Level
Knowing the impacts of the crash (the injuries or type of damage which occurred) is a key part of assessing the environment and safety factors around the site of the crash. The National Safety Council developed the “KABCO” injury scale, which is frequently used by law enforcement for classifying injuries. The KABCO scale is referenced below:
) K – Fatal
) A – Severe injury
) B – Other Visible Injury
) C – Complaint of Pain
) O – No injury (property damage only)
Table 1 presents crash severity by facility type—signalized intersections, non-signalized intersections, and roadway segments. Fifty-three percent (53%) of crashes occurred at signalized intersections, followed by 26% at non- signalized intersections. The remaining 22% of crashes occurred along roadway segments. This trend is typical for urban areas with high traffic volumes and more densely spaced intersections.

4.2. City of Milpitas K+SI Crashes Compared to Statewide K+SI Crashes
The California Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) focuses on 16 challenge areas identified by the SHSP Executive Leadership and Steering Committees after an in-depth analysis of California K+SI (fatal and severe injury) crash data as well as an extensive statewide outreach process that involved hundreds of diverse traffic stakeholders around the state. Table 2 contains a comparison of the City of Milpitas’ K+SI crashes to the statewide K+SI crashes and reflects SWITRS data. The City ranks higher than the statewide average percentages in regards to the intersection, aggressive driving, and pedestrians challenge areas. The City is also slightly higher than the Statewide average in the bicyclists, motorcyclists, impaired driving and work zones challenge areas. Table 2 also presents the summary of the challenge areas and percentages for the City and statewide averages.

4.4. Highest Occurring Crash Types
According to the reported data, approximately 928 crashes occurred within the City of Milpitas during the five-year study period which had clear, discernible spatial data that did not occur on private property. As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10, the most common crash types were broadsides, rear ends and hit object crashes. Approximately 2% of crashes did not have a reported crash type.

4.5. Aggressive and Impaired Driving Crashes
Aggressive driving was a contributing factor for 380 crashes in the study period, resulting in one fatal crash and fifteen severe injury crashes. Aggressive driving crashes include behaviors such as unsafe speed, following too closely, or disregarding traffic signals and signs. Aggressive driving crashes occurred mostly at signalized intersections, followed by roadway segments and non-signalized intersections.
Crashes involving drugs or alcohol include all crashes where there was any evidence of drug or alcohol use by the driver. This is different from impaired driving statistics in that drivers do not need to exceed the legally defined threshold of intoxication to be considered. Caltrans considers any level of alcohol consumption to have the potential to impact driver responsiveness and decision making. There were 105 impaired driving crashes between 2017 and 2021, one of which was fatal and 15 of which resulted in severe injuries. Figure 11 below shows the distribution of impaired driving crashes across intersections and roadway segments.

6.1.1. Key Themes from the Milpitas Traffic Safety Survey ) I think most people who take these surveys prioritize traffic volume and speed over pedestrian and bicycle safety. Please find ways to make walking and running safer in Milpitas. ) I would like to bike to more destinations in Milpitas, but the bike lanes along busy roads like Milpitas Boulevard and Montague Expressway are unprotected and intimidating with the 50+ MPH traffic. There are no biking alternatives to these arterials in the Great Mall area. ) I would like to see signal timing improved. I would like traffic police to site infractions, right turn on red no one stops anymore, and it is a safety issue all around.
) Lot of parked vehicles on side of road create big blind spots when taking left as well as right turns, find the solutions to not to park on the main roads like S Park Victoria Drive ) Traffic issues in Milpitas span far and wide. Not only are the roads not well maintained, but the bicycle network is also non-existent and unsafe on many of the main roads. People cannot bike or walk safely. Drivers also are extremely aggressive and there are little to no Complete Streets built into the city at all. Please make it easier for folks to get around outside of vehicles.

6.2. Countermeasure Toolbox Survey
The release of the Countermeasure Toolbox Survey marked the second round of engagement and was released following the in-person public meeting on May 17, 2023. The survey was paired with the Traffic Safety Project June 2023 Update Video that provided a project overview and summary of the completed efforts to date. Participants were then asked to respond to a brief survey that summarized their understanding of the countermeasures for signalized intersections, non-signalized intersections, and roadway segments.
During this second round of public engagement, most survey participants noted that they had not previously attended or watched the public meeting. Users were then asked to rank their top three safety countermeasures for each of the different facility types - intersections and roadway segments. For signalized intersections, most participants highlighted opportunities to improve signal timing, implement leading pedestrian interval, and install flashing beacons for advanced warning sign as their first, second, and third choice among the safety countermeasures, respectively. Pedestrian refuge island and flashing stop signs were the top two countermeasures for non-signalized intersections, followed by both the installation/upgrade of signage with retroreflective strips and the installation of marked pedestrian crossings. Participants noted that their top three countermeasures for roadway segments were installation of separated bike lanes, installation of raised pedestrian crossings, and installation of additional signage at pedestrian crossings.

6.2.1. Key Themes from the Countermeasures Survey
From all the comments received from the on-line map, key areas of focus and themes were as follows:
) High traffic areas need attention and new lanes before things get worse. ) Signal malfunction takes a long time to turn green.
) I would like to bike to more destinations in Milpitas, but the bike lanes along busy roads are unprotected and intimidating with the 50+ MPH traffic.
) Would be grateful if residents park their vehicles in their garage or driveway during school drop off & dismissal hours, as it gets very hard to find parking.
) Dangerous area due to a very curvy & narrow road with a signal that is hard to see. ) New lane needs to be added due to traffic congestion. Lots of traffic & no place to park during school hours. ) High traffic zone that needs road expansion on East Calaveras Blvd because everyone wants to go to SR-237. ) Please find ways to make walking and running safer in Milpitas.

7. COUNTERMEASURES
The following sections provide more information on potential engineering and non-infrastructure safety countermeasures that might address conditions that were observed to contribute to crash activity in the City.
7.1. Engineering Countermeasures
While there are many safety countermeasures that could be used to systemically improve roadway safety, the following sections provide countermeasures for consideration by the City of Milpitas. The following sections contain a description of Crash Modification Factors (CMFs) and Crash Reduction Factors (CRFs) associated with the engineering countermeasures toolbox.
7.1.1. Crash Modification Factors and Crash Reduction Factors When identifying potential systemic safety improvements, it is important to look at CMFs for the proposed improvements. The CMF Method is found in Part D of the HSM. CMFs are defined as the ratio of effectiveness of one condition in comparison to another condition and represent the relative change in crash frequency due to a change in one specific condition. In other words, a CMF is a multiplicative factor used to compute the expected number of crashes after implementing a given countermeasure at a specific site. Countermeasures with CMFs less than one are expected to reduce crashes if applied, while those countermeasures with CMFs greater than one are expected to increase crashes. Figure 19 illustrates the definition of CMFs.
Figure 19: CMF Calculation
The CMF Method is used to calculate the expected number of crashes by taking the observed number of crashes and multiplying those crashes by the applicable CMF for the proposed countermeasure. It is recommended that CMFs be applied to a minimum of three years of crash data for urban and suburban sites and five years of crash data for a rural site. Figure 20 is a sample calculation of the CMF method with one CMF being applied to a particular site for a single year.
Figure 20: CMF Method Sample Calculation
A CRF is similar to a CMF but stated in different terms. A CRF is defined as a percentage of crash reduction that might be expected after the implementation of a given countermeasure at a specific site. Figure 21 shows how a CRF is calculated in relationship to a CMF.
Milpitas Draft Final Citywide Travel Safety Plan
42 CITYWIDE TRAVEL SAFETY PLAN
City of Milpitas
City of Milpitas | December 2023
Figure 21: CRF Calculation
Caution should be used in the selection of appropriate CMFs. The following guidance should be considered when selecting CMFs for predictive crash analysis:
) CMFs should be selected from the HSM Part D, The Local Roadway Safety Manual: A Manual for California’s Local Road Owners (Version 1.5, April 2020), or from the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) CMF Clearinghouse website (http://www.cmfclearinghouse.org). ) Read the countermeasure abstract to determine if the CMF is applicable to the proposed improvement. ) Only CMFs with a four-star rating or higher should be considered for use in analysis. ) Be sure the selected CMF is applicable to the set of crash data being used for analysis. Some CMFs may only be applicable to a subset of the crash data.
) The application of multiple CMFs can overestimate the expected crash reduction. Unless each CMF addresses independent crash types, multiple CMFs should not be used. It is suggested that no more than three independent CMFs be applied to a particular site.
The countermeasures proposed in this document were chosen because of their effectiveness in reducing crashes.
7.1.2. Engineering Countermeasures Toolbox
The systemic improvements identified as most likely effective for the City are listed in Appendix D and include low-cost and higher-cost items that can be implemented in phases where appropriate. CRFs have been provided for reference to aid the City in understanding potential reductions from crashes by different countermeasures.
Implementation considerations and other factors such as effectiveness range and crash types addressed are also included in the toolbox.

7.2. Non-Infrastructure Countermeasures
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Countermeasures that Work, Ninth Edition, is a reference to assist safety stakeholders in selecting effective, science-based non-infrastructure traffic safety countermeasures for major highway safety problem areas. While many of the countermeasures are more appropriate to apply at the state-level or require legislative modifications to implement, Table 3 contains countermeasures that have demonstrated effectiveness and could be applied at the City level. Access to Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training for law enforcement is not included in the document but is something that could also be considered for the City.

8. PRIORITY LOCATIONS
As a result of the Citywide network screening analysis, 25 project case study locations were selected for further analysis and development of site-specific safety improvement recommendations. Project sheets were developed to provide a menu of potential safety countermeasures that the City can choose from when applying for funding.
Pursuant to section 15262 in the California Code of Regulations, this plan is exempt from CEQA and does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or a negative declaration. However, the CEQA requirements for each site-specific safety improvement project will need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis prior to implementation. These locations were identified through the analysis process based on their crash histories, the observed crash patterns, and their differing characteristics to provide the most insight into potential systemic safety countermeasures that the City can employ to achieve the most cost-effective safety benefits.
Each project sheet includes location maps with a crash data summary, field notes, and list of recommended safety countermeasures with corresponding CMFs, number of crashes anticipated to be reduced, 10-year crash reduction estimate and benefit, and planning level construction cost estimates. The potential safety countermeasures identified reflect safety improvements that can be applied to reduce the likelihood of future crashes. Countermeasures were subjected to a benefit/cost assessment to determine their potential return on investment. These case studies can be used to select the most appropriate countermeasure(s), and to potentially phase improvements over the longer- term. The potential benefit of these countermeasures at locations with similar design characteristics can then be extrapolated regardless of crash history. These project sheets can also be used to position the City for future grant funding opportunities.
Table 4 presents a summary of recommended safety countermeasures identified for each priority location, the corresponding benefit/cost ratio, funding source, and timeline for implementation. The funding sources recommended in Table 4 are not limited to the source(s) listed, as other funding sources may be available. A summary of potential funding sources is included in Section 9.5 “Funding”. A project sheet was developed for each of the priority locations containing additional information and are included in Appendix E.

City of Milpitas | December 2023
9. IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE
9.1. Evaluation
The success of the Travel Safety Plan will be evaluated using the preliminary process outlined below. This process will be useful to ensure proper implementation of goals and to determine when updates are needed. ) Progress meetings are recommended to be conducted to track the implementation of the plan. In addition, the success of the plan will be evaluated on a reoccurring basis. ) An update to the plan should be considered after no more than five to seven years. ) Continued monitoring and recording of traffic incidents on local roadways by law enforcement. ) Maintain a list of focus areas where there are transportation safety concerns, based on historical crash data.
9.2. Implementation
Implementation of the Travel Safety Plan can be accomplished through several avenues including development of improvement projects, the establishment of new policies and programs, and development/strengthening of relationships with stakeholders.
With regard to projects, the following identifies potential focus areas for the City in the near-to-mid-term.
9.2.1. Near- and Mid-Term Focus Areas
The opportunities identified in this Travel Safety Plan provide more of the systemic countermeasures that can be applied within the City. Over the next three to five years, it is recommended that the City concentrate its efforts on the following emphasis areas:
) Intersections
) Aggressive Driving
) Pedestrians
Analysis conducted at the citywide level indicated that these factors were some of the most frequent influences contributing to K+SI crashes within the City. The countermeasure opportunities previously discussed in this safety plan for both systemic and project-specific improvements can be used as a basis for developing projects at locations where addressing these focus areas would be of the most benefit. Projects that address these focus areas can be developed with a high benefit-to-cost ratio (by applying citywide crash rates), allowing competitive projects to be developed even at sites with little to no direct crash history, but with conditions that might contribute to future crashes.
9.3. Policy Update
The City has taken meaningful steps to prioritize road safety and has successfully integrated these approaches into numerous Citywide programs, policies, and practices. This Travel Safety Plan includes an assessment of both the City’s existing and the identified opportunities to enhance programs, policies, and practices to address road safety more comprehensively. Appendix F provides a summary of the existing programs, policies, and practices, as well as the recommended enhancements. The City and stakeholders should collaborate to discuss these policy modifications and set tangible goals for implementation.

City of Milpitas | December 2023
9.4. Updates to the Citywide Travel Safety Plan
The following steps outline the process for updating the Citywide Travel Safety Plan every 5 to 7 years.
1. Access necessary data
) Roadway and intersection classification/configurations ) Average Daily Traffic Volumes (Collected from counts where available) ) Collision history
2. Network screening
) Calculate the CCR for each roadway functional classification and intersection control type ) Rank for each facility type
i. Roadway Segment
(1) Primary
(2) Secondary
(3) Local
ii. Intersection
(1) Signalized
(2) Unsignalized
3. Select locations
) Identify the location with a higher CCR than what is typical of comparable facility types within City ) Analyze the collision history and work with local officials to understand any significant exterior influences on the location
4. Countermeasures
) Using the Engineering Countermeasures Toolbox (Appendix D) and Non-Infrastructure Toolbox (Table 3), identify potential countermeasures that can be applied to the local to enhance safety features
5. Calculate the benefit and the cost of each applicable countermeasure using Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) tool and identified countermeasures. If those are not available, refer to other resources such as the CMF Clearinghouse and follow a similar calculation (using 20-year cost and benefit numbers).
Additional items the City can do to keep the Travel Safety Plan current are:
1. When new or reconstruction projects arise, use the data processed to identify locations with similar characteristics and apply countermeasures which proved effective
2. Proactively update its roadway and transportation design standards to incorporate systemic safety improvements identified in the Citywide Travel Safety Plan
9.5. Funding
Competitive funding resources are available to assist in the development and implementation of safety projects in the City of Milpitas. The City should continue to seek available funding and grant opportunities from local, state, and federal resources to accelerate their ability to implement safety improvements throughout Milpitas. The following is a high-level introduction into some of the main funding programs and grants for which the City can apply.
9.5.1. Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a Federal program housed under Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. This program apportions funding as a lump sum for each state, which is then divided
Milpitas Draft Final Citywide Travel Safety Plan
57 CITYWIDE TRAVEL SAFETY PLAN
City of Milpitas
City of Milpitas | December 2023
among apportioned programs. These flexible funds can be used for projects to preserve or improve safety conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge projects on any public road, facilities for non-motorized transportation, and other project types. Safety improvement projects eligible for this funding include:
) New or upgraded traffic signals
) Upgraded guardrails
) Marked pedestrian crosswalks
California’s local HSIP focuses on infrastructure projects with national recognized crash reduction factors. Normally HSIP call-for-projects is made at an interval of one to two years. The applicant must be a city, a county, or a tribal government federally recognized within the State of California.
Additional information regarding this program at the Federal level is available at: https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/hsip.
California specific HSIP information – including dates for upcoming call for projects – is available at: http://www. dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/hsip.html .
9.5.1.1. HSIP ANAL YZER
As of 2021, the preferred way to calculate the BCR for the HSIP program uses the Caltrans HSIP Analyzer tool in the form of an active PDF. The PDF tool contains 4 sections which are used to calculate the Benefit Cost Ratio for the Highway Safety Improvement Program.
This tool can be accessed on the Caltrans website:
https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local-assistance/fed-and-state-programs/highway-safety-improvement-program/ apply-now
Projects appropriate for other state grant programs can be analyzed using the Life-Cycle Benefit Cost Analysis Model (CalB/C) which has a much more comprehensive benefit assessment tool set.
9.5.1.2. HSIP ELIGIBILITY
Per Chapter 9 of the Highway Safety Improvement Program, funds are eligible for projects that improve the safety of its users on any public road or publicly owned bicycle or pedestrian pathway or trail, or on tribal lands for general use of tribal members.
HSIP looks for safety projects that can be designed and constructed expeditiously and do not require significant acquisition of rights-of-way. Proposed projects should not require extensive environmental review and mitigation.
Additional information on the HSIP project selection criteria can be accessed online:
) Benefit Cost Ratio Applications
https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/local-assistance/documents/hsip/2020/ hsipanalyzerinstructions2020bcr.pdf
) Funding Set-asides (Non-Benefit Cost Ratio Applications) https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/local-assistance/documents/hsip/2020/ hsipanalyzerinstructions2020sa.pdf
HSIP project eligibility is subject to the California SHSP . The SHSP identifies statewide challenge areas that correspond to safety concerns at the statewide level and potential countermeasure to address them and determine HSIP project eligibility. SHSP’s are developed in compliance with FHWA requirements. A list of eligible project types can be seen in the current HSIP Analyzer.

9.5.2. Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP)
Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP) is a statewide funding program, created in 2013, consolidating several federal and state programs. The ATP funds projects that encourage increased mode share for walking and bicycling, improve mobility and safety for non-motorized users, enhance public health, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Projects eligible for this funding include:
) Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects
) Bicycle and pedestrian planning projects (e.g. safe
routes to school)
) Non-infrastructure programs (education and
enforcement)
This program funding is provided annually. The ATP call for projects typically comes out in the spring. Information on this program and cycles can be found online:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/atp
9.5.3. State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) provides state and federal gas tax money for improvements both on and off the state highway system. STIP programming occurs every two years. The programming cycle begins with the release of a proposed fund estimate, followed by California Transportation Commission (CTC) adoption of the fund estimate. The fund estimate serves to identify the amount of new funds available for the programming of transportation projects. Once the fund estimate is adopted, Caltrans and the regional planning agencies prepare transportation improvement plans for submittal. Caltrans prepares the Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (ITIP) using Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) funds, and regional agencies prepare Regional Transportation Improvement Programs (RTIPs) using Regional Improvement Program (RIP) funds. The STIP is then adopted by the CTC.
9.5.4. California Senate Bill 1 (SB 1)
SB 1 is a transportation investment to rebuild California by fixing neighborhood streets, freeways and bridges in communities across California and targeting funds toward transit and congested trade and commute corridor improvements.
California’s state-maintained transportation infrastructure will receive roughly half of SB 1 revenue: $26 billion. The other half will go to local roads, transit agencies and an expansion of the state’s growing network of pedestrian and cycle routes. Each year, this new funding will be used to tackle deferred maintenance needs both on the state highway system and the local road system, including:
) Bike and Pedestrian Projects: $100 million
+ This funding will go to cities, counties, and regional transportation agencies to build or convert more bike paths, crosswalks, and sidewalks. It is a significant increase in subsidy for these projects through the Active Transportation Program (ATP).
) Local Planning Grants: $25 million
9.5.5. California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grants This program has funding for projects related to traffic safety, including transportation safety education and encouragement activities. Grants applications must be supported by local crash data (such as the data analyzed in this plan) and must relate to the following priority program areas:
) Alcohol Impaired Driving
) Distracted Driving
) Drug-Impaired Emergency
Medical Services
) Motorcycle Safety
) Occupant Protection
) Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety
) Police Traffic Services
) Public Relations, Advertising,
and Marketing Program
) Roadway Safety and Traffic

APPENDIX C – SURVEY COMMENTS
What traffic safety challenge(s) do you experience at this location? (Other Answers)
1. Yield signal .. nobody yields to oncoming vehicle
2. Limited parking during school drop off and pick up
3. Cars doing donuts
4. Medians at Serra and Calaveras also do not have ramps. Hard for wheel chair or stroller
5. Way too many things to fix about Calaveras. Not sure if this is City of Caltrans jurisdiction since it is technically 237, but so many things need to be changed to make this more accessible for all forms of transportation.
Is there anything else related to this survey you would like to share?
1. Cars turning left onto S Milpitas Blvd from Los Coches never yield to oncoming vehicles. As there are more homes in this area now, I request that the yield light changed to the one with left arrows.
2. Would be really grateful if residents park their vehicles in their garage or driveway during school drop off and dismissal hours, as it gets very hard to find parking.
3. Lots of potholes here
4. Wouldn’t feel safe to bike here.
5. Cars do donuts in the intersection.
6. Unrecognized people living in the cars and is not safe for anyone who walks from bus stop to the signal. Area is very sketchy and very dirty.
7. Homeless people living in junk cars unsafe for pedestrians.
8. Very curvy and narrow road and hard to see signal. Dangerous area
9. Neighbourhood looks very unsafe. Houses are not well maintained.
10. Narrow road and traffic congestion. When school finished construction this area will be challenging for cars to cross the roads
11. This area needs to be preplanned to avoid huge traffic before school starts to run.
12. New lane needs to be added for people going to ocean supermarket traffic slows down when people abruptly take right turn to shop at ocean supermarket.
13. High traffic area needs attention in adding new lanes before things get worse.
14. Signal mal function takes long time to turn green.
15. New lane needs to be added due to traffic congestion. Lot of traffic and no place to park during school timings.
16. Unsafe sidewalk. Sketchy area to walk on the side way. Not safe for pedestrians. Poor road sight and low light area.
17. Bad neighborhood junk car parking.
18. Narrow road and high traffic.
19. I other used people selling stuff on road drivers get distracted.
20. High traffic zone city of Milpitas residents need road expansion on east Calavares Blvd. because everyone wants to go to 237 via east Calavares road. Sit to population increase road expansion is vital for city developments.
21. People drive very fast on S Park Victoria since it’s a wide 4-lane street. But this is actually a residential neighborhood with elementary school. Some traffic calming measures should be placed here.

22. Many people do not come to a complete stop.
23. Speeding cars near school
24. Cars fail to yield to pedestrians.
25. Long trains cause traffic during commute hours
26. Most drivers don’t come to a complete stop.
27. Failure to yield to pedestrians.
28. Pedestrians cross in the middle when leaving or going to the bus.
29. Lights along parallel to the train are consistently poor and cause traffic build-ups during peak commuting times.
30. Vehicle speeding in the residential area.
31. With no barrier for bike lane, I do not feel safe riding a bike as drivers aren’t paying attention.
32. Need speed bump.
33. Road is starting to show signs of wear, including parts where the pavement is sinking and cracking.
34. Intersection is dangerous for pedestrians to cross the streets.
35. Constantly people running a red light at the intersection of Milpitas BLVD and 237
36. Speeding around the corner on Sin Clair Frontage
37. Required Ped crossing marks.
38. School Areas: mostly driver do not stop.
39. Many pedestrians jay walk from 7-11 to apartments regardless of oncoming traffic
40. “People who are too impatient to wait in the middle lane will often use the right turn only lane to go straight and cut over to the 680 N ramp. I’ve been almost hit many times.
41. Please enforce the turn only restriction better or change the intersection.
42. Speed bumps, Edsel Drive, to slow down traffic from Roswell to Carnegie. Narrow lanes with cars parked and pedestrian crossing mid-block are in peril to these driver’s speed.
43. Very unsafe for pedestrians to cross near this intersection. Needs a stop sign.
44. Cars slow down due to turns near ocean supermarket. Needs a new lane to avoid accidents.
45. Lot of traffic congestion due to fewer lanes
46. Poor signal timing to turn left. Long wait times.
47. If no new lanes will be added people will move out of this place due to high signal wait times
48. Narrow curved road extremely dangerous and high traffic area. City needs to consider this area seriously before doing any economic activities to attract business and retail stores.
49. The unprotected bike lane here is really dangerous with the pull-in for the great mall. Cars regularly go by at 50+ MPH and swerve around cyclists- each one passing with only a few feet to spare.
50. Very long walk across Great Mall Parkway. Drivers often make rolling stops with pedestrians in the crosswalk. Even the 40-second pedestrian timer can feel short.
51. People regularly jaywalk across all 10 lanes of Montague to get between the Great Mall and the bus/BART station. Both the crosswalk at Capitol and pedestrian bridge at the Edge are inconveniently far away
52. Lots of people exiting the great mall turn left from great mall onto Montague heading towards 680, which creates a backup. People often run yellow or red lights aggressively because they have to wait 2-3 cycles to make it, even with 2 turning lanes.
53. Drivers turning right onto Great Mall from the southbound Montague expressway don’t see pedestrians crossing because they are looking left for oncoming traffic and have a pocket turn lane. I’ve seen a fair number of near-misses because of the high speeds coming off of Montague and the generous turn lane.

54. Crossing Montague and S. Milpitas in any direction takes a long time, and the little concrete porkchops feel like scant protection from the 50+MPH traffic passing by. The unprotected bike lanes are a joke when cars are going that fast- especially when they have to cross over for right turns.
55. Southbound cars on South Milpitas often don’t notice the stoplight here and sideswipe northbound cars turning left onto Garden Street, or eastbound cars on Garden Street who are trying to turn right.
56. Traffic blocking the other cars form going through.
57. Streets are very wide making it easy for drivers to speed at an unsafe rate way past speed limit.
58. Parking on school side of street shouldn’t be allowed during drop-off and pick up time so cars going into school can stay near sidewalk and allow through traffic to continue.
59. Drivers fail to stop often at this 4-way stop.
60. Needs a crossing guard during school hours.
61. Crosswalk going from shopping center parking lot to Calaveras crosswalks at Serra is very dangerous. Cars going from Calaveras to Serra take the exit at high speed and do not stop for pedestrians trying to access Calaveras crosswalks.
62. Crosswalk from shopping center to Calaveras crosswalks is very dangerous. Cars exiting to Serra do not stop for pedestrians. Speed bump, lower speed right turns to Serra, or flashing pedestrian signal could help.
63. Crossing Calaveras as a pedestrian can take up to 4 crosswalks and a lot of time. There should be two crosswalks across Calaveras at Serra instead of just one. Especially since there is an elementary school on the north side of Calaveras with many students attending from the south side.
64. There should be crosswalks for pedestrians at Abbott and Calaveras. Walking to 880 or Serra to cross with a pedestrian signal takes a very long time.
65. Abel between Calaveras and Corning should have bike lanes.
66. Crosswalk from shopping center parking lot to Calaveras Blvd. is dangerous. Visibility is low, and cars do not stop for pedestrians because of high rate of speed for traffic. Consider speed bump, flashing pedestrian signal, or slower right turn from Calaveras to Serra instead - especially since elementary on N. side of Calaveras has many students living on S. side of the street.
67. Road is crumbling all along Main Street
68. Yellow light for cars on Main Street is too short. You can enter the intersection on green and not get through before it turns red.
69. Lots of red-light runners on right turn on red.
70. 4-way stop desperately needed at this intersection. All turns from Newbury onto McCandless are severely occluded by roadside parked vehicles and median landscaping. Drivers on McCandless regularly speed well in excess of posted limits.
71. Dangerous pedestrian crossing. Design speed on this section of road very high (50mph with limited visibility due to curve) and entitled motorists. Encourage to install protected pedestrian crossing with traffic lights and request button.
72. Dangerous pedestrian crossing despite dedicated traffic light.
73. 4-way stop needed at McCandless & Newbury intersection. Turns onto McCandless from Newbury are severely occluded by roadside parked vehicles and median bushes. Vehicles regularly speed well in excess of posted limits through this intersection.
74. How does one of the main streets into the city (Calaveras) NOT have bike lanes and a sidewalk on only one side. We need to encourage other forms of transportation OUTSIDE of cars.
75. Cars park so close to the school crossing, that children and other pedestrians approaching the school crossing are not seen until it is too late. My child and I have almost been hit several times on the way to school by car is not seeing us until they have blown through the crosswalk.

76. There is a box truck that keeps parking on this corner, impeding view of oncoming traffic coming down Arizona and site of pedestrians who may be looking to cross, as they are not visible, until the driver starts to make the turn.
77. Despite a clearly marked loading/fire lane, parents continue to park their cars and walk away impeding traffic flow, and causing a safety issue as some cars are driving around parked cars, while children and their parents are crossing the parking lot to get to the sidewalk on Boulder Ave. In addition, many people park in the fire lane on boulder which impedes visibility for traffic trying to leave the parking lot. Thus, putting both drivers and pedestrians at risk.
78. Non-ADA compliant corner. No curb ramp for people using wheelchairs on one corner here. It has been this way since I can recall as an elementary school student.
79. Homeless people in the cars very sketchy area to walk here.
80. People taking right turn to ocean supermarket and causing accidents.
81. Why two back-to-back signals?
82. Gaps of pedestrian sidewalks along S Milpitas Blvd

7 Installation of traffic signal head backplates with yellow retroreflective borders provides enhanced signal head visibility.
While this countermeasure is applicable to all drivers, backplates with retroreflective borders are particularly useful for preventing crashes involving aging drivers, impaired drivers, or crashes occurring at night. This can be achieved either by applying retroreflective tape to the existing backplates or mounting new reflective backplates. This countermeasure can be effectively implemented on a systemic level at signalized intersections.

Install/Upgrade Intersection Lighting
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
◢ Signalized intersections should have at least one luminaire per corner. Photometric analysis is recommended to confirm number and location of luminaires needed to achieve minimum light levels. ◢ Intersections where existing light levels do not meet recommended standards, see Table 12-1 in RP-8-21, Table D in Caltrans Roadway Lighting Manual
Installing intersection safety lighting (new or upgraded) is a proven safety countermeasure which can prevent crashes occurring at night. Drivers are made more aware of their surroundings and of the presence of the intersection, roadway conditions, and other vehicles or active transportation users during nighttime conditions. This countermeasure is applicable at signalized intersections without lighting or with insufficient lighting, where crashes are known to be occurring at night. Providing adequate safety lighting should be considered as a preventative measure to reduce the likelihood of nighttime crashes at intersections.

8 Provide Protected Left-Turn Phase
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
◢ Left turn volume exceeds 240 vehicles per hour
◢ Daily left turn volume multiplied by the opposing through movement volume exceeds 50,000 (for one opposing through lane), 90,000 (for two opposing through lanes), or 110,000 (for any number of opposing through lanes) ◢ Left turn lanes exceeds one lane
Protected left-turn phases are demonstrated to reduce the frequency of broadside crashes by reducing conflicts between turning vehicles and oncoming traffic. This countermeasure is applicable especially at intersections with higher vehicle volumes and/or approach speeds, and is most effectively used in tandem with a dedicated left-turn lane.

Improve Signal Timing
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
◢ Signals should generally be coordinated along corridors with closely spaced traffic signals with volumes of 300 veh/hr/lane or higher ◢ Review and update timing every 3-5 years, or more regularly if there is significant changes to traffic patterns ◢ Review clearance intervals at locations with regular crashes or changes to roadway speeds Signal timing improvements can reduce the frequency of crashes at signalized intersections. Improvements include coordinating traffic signals, extending red and yellow clearance intervals, or adding phases. For example, coordinating traffic signals that are closely spaced together has been proven to improve traffic flow and progression while reducing the number of rear-end crashes occurring at the intersection.

9 Raised Pavement Markers
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
◢ Best applied systemically as part of pavement resurfacing or striping programs ◢ Intersections with crash trends related to lane departure (sideswipes, head-ons, broadsides) ◢ Intersections with offset lanes, dual left-turn lanes, or other lane geometry that may result in driver confusion Raised pavement markers increase lane visibility and create an audible rumble when driven over by vehicle tires to alert drivers.
Enhanced striping can guide drivers though intersections and are effective at intersections with dual left-turn lanes or offset lanes.
Examples include cat-track striping, line extensions, botts dots, and raised reflective markers. These enhanced striping features can reduce the frequency of lane departure crashes (such as sideswipes and head-ons).

Flashing Beacons
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
◢ Poor visibility of the intersection (sharp curves, sight obstructions, fog, etc) ◢ Crash history due to non-compliance or lack of awareness of the signal ◢ Locations with inadequate sight distance
◢ Locations with high rate of driver non-compliance of traffic control device Flashing beacons installed in tandem with warning signage are proven to raise driver awareness that they are approaching a traffic signal. They are especially effective in situations where direct line of sight is limited, such as at horizontal curves or when a fixed object obscures view of the intersection. In the situation where traffic queues extend beyond the intersection and contribute to rear-end crashes, LED flashing beacon raise driver awareness of the approaching traffic signal and that they should expect potential traffic queues. The CAMUTCD provides guidance on considerations for intersection control LED flashing beacons.

10 Improve Pavement Friction
(High Friction Surface Treatments)
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
Applicable at spot locations such as:
◢ Interchange ramps
◢ High volume intersection approaches
◢ Segments of steep grade
◢ Two-lane urban or rural horizontal curves
This countermeasure is applicable at intersections where skidding or failure to stop is contributing to crashes and sharp curves where vehicles may break excessively. Over time, the pavement surface around horizontal curves may wear down and contribute to vehicles losing control when turning abruptly or braking excessively. Increasing the pavement friction enables cars to have more traction with the road and safely maneuver through a turning movement or decelerate.

Install Left-Turn or Right Turn Lane
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
◢ Left turn volume, opposing volume, and advancing volume meet the left turn lane warrants based on design speed of roadway (see Attachments for Left turn warrants)
◢ Right turn and advancing volumes meet the right turn lane warrants based on design speed of roadway (see Attachments for warrants) This countermeasure is recommended at intersections where the major road approach does not have a left or right turn lane, and which are experiencing a high number of broadside or rear-end crashes. Providing a dedicated left-turn lane improves traffic flow and reduces the potential for rear-end crashes by providing a dedicated space for left-turn vehicles to decelerate and wait to turn left while outside of the through lane. Dedicated left and right turn lanes are recommended at signalized intersection approaches where turning volumes warrant consideration and there is adequate right-of-way.

11 Install Emergency Vehicle Preemption
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
◢ At intersections where traffic may delay the routes of emergency vehicles to a scene ◢ At key routes used by emergency responders such as major corridors and locations in close proximity to fire stations and hospitals Emergency vehicle pre-emption systems communicate with the traffic signal controller to terminate conflicting traffic phases and movements so that emergency vehicles can safely and efficiently progress through the intersection. These systems are recommended at all traffic signals on arterials and collectors for enhanced emergency response and traffic safety at signalized intersections.

Replace Pedestal Mounted
Signal Heads with Mast Arms
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
◢ Install at all signalized intersection approaches
◢ Refer to MTUCD Table 4D-1 for recommended number of signal faces along roadway with posted speeds of 45 mph or greater This countermeasure is applicable at signalized intersections with exclusive pedestal mounted traffic signals. Mast-arm mounted signal heads located overhead are standard design features per the CAMUTCD. They are more perceptible by approaching drivers and can reduce the frequency and severity of rear-end crashes related to poor visibility and broadside crashes due to late entries into the intersection during the yellow interval and red interval violations.

12 Install Raised Median
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
◢ At intersections with two or more through lanes to separate opposing streams of traffic and restrict turning movements ◢ In areas with mixtures of significant pedestrian and vehicle traffic (more than 12,000 ADT) and speeds above 30 MPH. ◢ Continuous raised medians are not always appropriate as they can contribute to increased vehicle speeds by increasing driver perception of safety.
Installing raised medians at intersection approaches is proven to reduce the frequency of head-on crashes by providing an extra buffer between queued vehicles and turning vehicles. Raised medians can also provide space for pedestrian refuge islands or improved street lighting, both discussed further in this document.
Raised medians provide enhanced access control and reduce broadside crashes related to proximate driveways.

Pedestrian Scramble
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS:
◢ At locations with high volumes of pedestrians and bicycles particularly during peak hours such as downtown ◢ Consider the overall operational impact, particularly if the intersection and adjacent intersections are operating close to or at capacity A pedestrian scramble is a signal phasing strategy deployed at a traffic signal where all vehicular traffic is stopped, allowing pedestrians and bikes to cross in any direction. This countermeasure is most effectively applied at locations with very high pedestrian volumes, such as downtown, business districts, adjacent to schools and other high pedestrian traffic generating land uses, high crossing demand for diagonal movements, and frequent pedestrian and vehicle conflicts.
