Subject: Transportation Analysis for the Charleston Road/Alma Street Railroad Crossing Safety Improvements in Palo Alto, California
Summary
The City of Palo Alto is proposing safety improvements at the signalized intersection of Alma Street/ Charleston Road, the adjacent railroad crossing, and the unsignalized intersection of Ruthelma Avenue/Charleston Road. The Charleston Road at-grade crossing was identified for funding of hazard elimination and safety improvements through a federally funded program. The proposed railroad crossing improvement project at Charleston Road in Palo Alto is a joint project between the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (JPB), the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), and the City of Palo Alto.
The railroad crossing is located approximately 25 feet southwest of the signalized intersection of Charleston Road and Alma Street. The intersection traffic signals are interconnected with the railroad track circuitry system for simultaneous preemption. There is enough space for one vehicle between the intersection and the railroad tracks. Eastbound motorists sometimes queue on the tracks due to the lack of storage space.
The proposed railroad crossing safety improvement includes the installation of a pre-signal on eastbound Charleston Road to better keep motorists from queuing on the railroad tracks. The pre- signal would restrict vehicles from turning right on red and would potentially affect vehicular capacity at the Charleston/Alma intersection. This study looked at traffic operations during three time periods: the weekday morning commute (7-9 AM), the after school time period (2-4 PM), and the evening commute (4-6 PM). It is during these hours that the intersection experiences the most traffic congestion. The analysis was conducted using the simulation software VISSIM by PTV Vision, which has the ability to analyze signal preemption. The traffic analysis was conducted under existing conditions and with increased Caltrain frequency, which would happen when ridership increases.
The analysis of the installation of a pre-signal on eastbound Charleston Road showed that the average vehicular queues on eastbound Charleston Road would increase from existing conditions during all three peak periods because the pre-signal would restrict right-turns on red. Under existing conditions without a pre-signal, the stop line for eastbound Charleston Road is located to the west of the train tracks, along with a “Stop here on Red” sign that informs motorists to stop before the tracks. However, field observations showed that some motorists would pull forward across the train tracks and wait in the area on the east side of the tracks, and right-turning vehicles were observed to turn onto southbound Alma Street.

Alma Street and Charleston Road Railroad Crossing
Existing Conditions Analysis
The existing conditions analysis was conducted based on existing peak hour traffic volumes, existing lane geometries, existing signal timings, and the number of trains during the peak hours as described below. An aerial image of the existing striping at the Alma Street and Charleston Road Railroad Crossing is shown on Figure 1.
Existing Lane Geometry
Separate left-turn lanes are provided on Alma Street in both the northbound and southbound directions to Charleston Road, including two northbound left-turn lanes and one southbound left- turn lane (see Figure 1). In addition, there is a separate southbound right-turn lane on Alma Street to westbound Charleston Road. Charleston Road is striped with a shared left/through lane and a shared through/right lane in both directions at Alma Street. The stop line for eastbound Charleston Road is located to the west of the train tracks, along with a “Stop here on Red” sign that informs motorists to stop at the stop line. The area between the tracks and Alma Street is striped out to suggest no stopping in that area. Bike lanes are present in both directions on Charleston Road and on-street parking is not permitted. On Alma Street, bike facilities are not provided and on-street parking is not permitted.
Traffic Volumes
AM, after school, and PM peak-hour turning movement counts for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles were conducted at the Alma/Charleston intersection in January 2025, when schools were in session. As shown on Figure 2, a total of 3,103 vehicles, 89 bicycles, and 12 pedestrians were counted during the AM peak hour, 2,980 vehicles, 30 bicycles, and 9 pedestrians were counted during the after school peak hour, and a total of 3,509 vehicles, 30 bicycles, and 5 pedestrians were counted during the PM peak hour.
Signal Timing and Phasing
The existing signal timing data at the Alma Street and Charleston Road intersection were obtained from the city and verified in the field. The Alma/Charleston intersection signal currently operates at approximately 175-second cycle lengths during the AM, after school, and PM peak hours. The existing traffic signal operates with protected phasing for the northbound and southbound left-turns on Alma Street, with leading southbound left-turns and lagging northbound left-turns. Charleston Road operates with split phase signal timing, with the westbound approach being served before the eastbound approach.
Signal Preemption
As the Charleston Road railroad crossing is located approximately 25 feet southwest of Alma Street, the intersection of Alma Street and Charleston Road is equipped to receive a traffic preemption signal when there is a train detection. This is a special control mode in the traffic signal controller designed to start up and clear any vehicular traffic on the roadway approach crossing the railroad tracks. Before the train approaches the intersection, eastbound vehicular queues on Charleston Road between the railroad gate and Alma Street are cleared. After that, southbound left and through vehicles receive a green light, followed by southbound through and northbound through vehicles, for the duration of the train movement. A total preemption time of 45 seconds was observed from the start of the railroad crossing warning to after the train has passed the crossing and the gates were raised.

Number of Trains
Based on the current Caltrain schedule, there are a total of 8 trains (4 northbound and 4 southbound) during the AM and PM peak hours. Although the actual train spacing varies daily, the analysis assumed a constant time interval between consecutive trains, which calculates to one train every 7 ½ minutes. This represents average conditions. Occasionally trains arrive closer together, which creates longer delays, or more spread out, which creates shorter delays. Analysis of the after-school peak hour assumed the operation of 6 trains (3 trains in each direction) based on the Caltrain schedule. The spacing of the trains during the after-school peak hour was assumed to be every 10 minutes.
Field Observations
AM Peak Hour
During the AM peak hour, long vehicular queues were observed on northbound Alma Street and eastbound Charleston Road that required one to two cycles to clear. Eastbound queues sometimes extended nearly to Wilkie Way, with or without train preemption. Eastbound vehicles were frequently observed to make right-turns on red and would sometimes drive forward from the stop bar west of the tracks to queue within the hashed area between the tracks and the intersection during a red light. Typically, only one vehicle per lane would be stopped within the hashed area and vehicles would not be stopped on the tracks themselves. Eastbound bicycles were also observed to stop within the hashed area during a red light.
After School Peak Hour
During the after school peak hour, long vehicular queues were observed on southbound Alma Street and eastbound Charleston Road that sometimes required more than one cycle to clear. It was observed that the railroad warning light and the intersection traffic control device preemption mode were activated at the same time, in simultaneous preemption operation. It was also observed that eastbound vehicles and northbound left turn vehicles commonly rush through the yellow light and even run the red light. As such, two northbound left-turning vehicles were stopped east of the gate when the gate lowered and blocked southbound traffic until one vehicle changed to the outer lane. It was also observed once during the observation period that the gate lowered and lifted shortly after, without any train having crossed. Eastbound vehicles and bicycles were frequently observed to drive forward into the hashed area during a red light. Some eastbound vehicles were observed to stop just past the stop bar west of the tracks and needed to back up when the gates lowered. Another eastbound vehicle was observed to stop within the hashed area with the rear of the vehicle touching the train tracks.
PM Peak Hour
During the PM peak hour, long vehicular queues were observed on southbound Alma Street and eastbound Charleston Road. Vehicular queues on all approaches sometimes required more than one cycle to clear due to signal preemption. Eastbound and northbound left turning vehicles were again observed to sometimes run a red light at the end of the signal phase. It was observed once during the field visit that a northbound left-turning vehicle at the end of the signal phase was abruptly stopped by the warning gate east of the tracks and resulted in a rearend collision with the vehicle behind. Eastbound vehicles were sometimes observed to stack two vehicles within the hashed area east of the tracks.

Railroad Crossing
The railroad crossing is located approximately 25 feet southwest of the Charleston Road/Alma Street intersection (see Figure 2). Under existing conditions, the stop line for eastbound Charleston Road is located to the west of the train tracks, along with a “Stop here on Red” sign that informs motorists to stop at the stop line. The area between the tracks and Alma Street is striped out to suggest no stopping in that area. However, field observations showed that some motorists would pull forward across the train tracks and wait in the area on the east side of the tracks, and right- turning vehicles were observed to turn on red. This could be because the striped-out area is not highly visible as it is located on a downslope from the higher elevation of the train tracks.
Therefore, the existing conditions simulation model was coded with the eastbound stop line located to the east of the train tracks.
Proposed Safety Improvement
The Alma Street and Charleston Road intersection is located immediately east of the railroad crossing, and there is enough storage space for only one vehicle between the intersection and the railroad tracks (see Figure 1). The proposed safety improvement includes installing a pre-signal on eastbound Charleston Road. The pre-signal would add a signal head at the existing stop line for eastbound Charleston Road traffic to the west of the tracks and would restrict motorists from queuing within the train crossing area. The pre-signal would restrict right-turns on red for eastbound Charleston Road traffic.
Analysis of the effect of the proposed railroad crossing improvements on existing traffic conditions at Alma Street and Charleston Road was conducted. Table 1 summarizes AM, after school, and PM peak hour intersection delays and levels of service at the Alma/Charleston intersection under existing conditions and with the proposed safety improvement.

As shown in Table 1, under existing conditions, the Alma Street and Charleston Road intersection operates at LOS E during the AM and PM peak hours and LOS D during the after school peak hour.
With the proposed railroad crossing improvement, the results show that the average intersection delay would increase by about two to six seconds. This is due to the restriction of right turns on red.
Traffic counts during all three time periods show a relatively high volume of right-turning traffic from eastbound Charleston Road to southbound Alma Street. Tables 2, 3 and 4 show the queue lengths for all approaches at the Alma/Charleston intersection during the AM, after school, and PM peak hours. As shown in these tables, the proposed pre-signal would result in an increase in average queue lengths of more than 25% for eastbound Charleston traffic during all three time periods.
However, it should be noted that since the existing conditions model was coded with the stop line to the east of the tracks, and field observations showed that some vehicles were observed to stop at the existing stop line located to the west of the tracks, the actual increase in vehicular delays and queues between the existing and existing + pre-signal scenarios would be less than what is shown in the tables.
Recommendations
In addition to the pre-signal on eastbound Charleston Road, Hexagon recommends that the City consider implementing advance signal preemption operation. With advance preemption operation, the traffic signal controller would allow vehicles to clear the intersection before the gates came down.

Alternative Phasing Considerations
In addition to the pre-signal on eastbound Charleston Road, Hexagon considered other potential improvements, including lane reassignments for an overlap phase for the eastbound right-turn movement on Charleston Road with the northbound left-turn movement on Alma Road and for an eight-phase signal configuration with protected left-turn phasing on all approaches. An overlap phase for the eastbound right-turn movement would require the outer eastbound shared through- right lane on Charleston Road to be converted to an exclusive right-turn lane, which would reduce the throughput capacity from two lanes to one lane in the eastbound direction. An eight-phase signal configuration would require the inner eastbound and westbound shared left-through lanes to be converted to exclusive left-turn turn lanes, which would reduce the throughput capacity from two lanes to one lane for both the eastbound and westbound directions on Charleston Road.
Analysis of the effect of the alternative phasing improvements on existing traffic conditions at Alma Street and Charleston Road was conducted using SimTraffic simulation software. Tables 5 and 6 summarize AM, after school, and PM peak hour intersection delays and levels of service at the Alma/Charleston intersection under existing conditions and with the alternative phasing improvements. As shown in Table 5, an overlap phase for the eastbound right-turn movement would result in an increase in average intersection delay by about seven minutes compared to existing conditions during the PM peak hour. This configuration would require left-turning and through traffic on eastbound Charleston Road to share a single lane, resulting in uneven lane utilization of the two eastbound lanes. As shown in Table 6, an eight-phase signal configuration would result in an increase in average intersection delay by about four minutes compared to existing conditions during the PM peak hour. This configuration would require through and right- turning traffic on eastbound and westbound Charleston Road to share a single lane, resulting in uneven lane utilization. The analysis shows that vehicular delays on Charleston Road would increase for both alternative phasing improvements due to the decrease in throughput capacity on Charleston Road. Therefore, alternative phasing is not recommended.

Increased Caltrain Frequency
This analysis scenario describes the effect of increased Caltrain frequency on existing traffic conditions and with the proposed railroad safety improvement at Alma Street and Charleston Road.
When Caltrain ridership increases, it is expected that the number of trains could increase from 8 trains to 12 trains during both the AM and PM peak hours (based on the Caltrain Electrification EIR). This calculates to one train every five minutes. During the after school peak hour, it is assumed that the number of trains will increase from 6 trains under existing conditions to 10 trains (5 trains in each direction). Table 7 below summarizes commute AM, after school, and commute PM peak hour intersection delays and levels of service at the Alma Street and Charleston Road intersection with increased train frequency and with the proposed railroad safety improvement.

Table 7
Alma and Charleston Intersection Delay and Levels of Service – Increased Caltrain Frequency Conditions
As shown in Table 7, the average intersection delay would increase with increased Caltrain frequency, and the intersection would operate at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours, and LOS E during the after school peak hour. With the proposed safety improvement that includes a pre-signal on eastbound Charleston Road (restricting right turns on red) the results show that the average intersection delay would increase by about 3 to 21 seconds. Tables 8, 9, and 10 show that the proposed pre-signal would result in an increase in average queue lengths of more than 25% for eastbound Charleston traffic during all three time periods. As noted before, since the model without the pre-signal was coded with the stop line to the east of the tracks, and field observations showed that some vehicles were observed to stop at the existing stop line located to the west of the tracks, the actual increase in vehicular delays and queues between the existing and existing + pre-signal scenarios with increased trains would be less than what is shown in the tables. The analysis showed that the maximum queue would not extend up to El Camino Real.

Ruthelma Avenue and Charleston Road – Crosswalk Analysis The existing pedestrian crosswalk at the Ruthelma Avenue and Charleston Road intersection was evaluated for enhanced/active improvements. The goal of this analysis was to determine whether any special additional pedestrian crossing treatments would be justified at this location that would make pedestrian crossing safer by decreasing pedestrian and vehicular conflicts. The analysis was based on the NCHRP Report 562 – Improving Pedestrian Safety at Unsignalized Crossings. Two- day 24-hour directional speed and volume counts were conducted on Charleston Road near Ruthelma Avenue. The pedestrian crossing volume was counted for six hours (including AM, school PM and PM peak hours) on two separate days. Motorist compliance was observed in the field.
Existing Lane Geometry and Traffic Volumes
The Ruthelma Avenue crosswalk is located approximately 570 feet to the west of the railroad crossing on Charleston Road. At the T-intersection of Ruthelma Avenue/Charleston Road, Charleston Road has two lanes in each direction, no raised median, and is uncontrolled. There are dedicated bike lanes in each direction. The northbound approach on Ruthelma Avenue has a shared left-right lane that is controlled with a stop sign. A traditional parallel line crosswalk is present across Ruthelma Avenue, and a high-visibility crosswalk with a ladder design and static pedestrian signage is present across Charleston Road to the east of Ruthelma Avenue. Sidewalks are present on all approaches. On-street parking is permitted on Ruthelma Avenue, but not on Charleston Road.

PM Peak Hour - Queue Length (feet)
Charleston Road/Alma Street Railroad Crossing Safety Improvements January 2, 2026
P a g e | 14
AM, after-school, and PM peak-hour turning movement counts for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles were conducted at the Ruthelma/Charleston intersection for two days in January 2025, when schools were in session. As shown on Figure 3, a total of 1,184 vehicles, 76 bicycles, and 5 pedestrians were counted during the AM peak hour, 1,028 vehicles, 19 bicycles, and 10 pedestrians were counted during the after-school peak hour, and a total of 1,093 vehicles, 60 bicycles, and 8 pedestrians were counted during the PM peak hour.
Hourly speed and volume data were also collected along Charleston Road near Ruthelma Avenue for 48 hours in January 2025. The average daily traffic (ADT) was found to be 13,071 total vehicles, including an average of 6,704 eastbound vehicles and 6,367 westbound vehicles. The 85th percentile speed was found to be 32.1 miles per hour (mph) in the eastbound direction and 30.6 mph in the westbound direction.
Field Observations
AM Peak Hour
During the AM peak hour, eastbound vehicular queues on Charleston Road were sometimes observed to extend past Ruthelma Avenue nearly to Wilkie Way from the downstream signal at Alma Street and the railroad crossing. On eastbound Charleston Road, vehicles typically complied with the “Keep Clear” signage upstream of the Ruthelma Avenue crosswalk. However, vehicles would often be stopped within the crosswalk across Charleston Road due to the downstream queue. During the observation period, one northbound pedestrian crossed Charleston Road, and an eastbound vehicle was observed to slow within the “Keep Clear” area but did not come to a stop as the pedestrian crossed.
After School Peak Hour
During the after-school peak hour, eastbound vehicular queues from Alma Street were sometimes observed to extend past Ruthelma Avenue.
PM Peak Hour
During the PM peak hour, eastbound vehicular queues from Alma Street were sometimes observed to extend past Wilkie Way after train crossings had occurred. Vehicles typically complied with the “Keep Clear” signage but would often stop within the crosswalk. Westbound vehicular queues from Wilkie Way were sometimes observed to extend past Ruthelma Avenue. Since there is no “Keep Clear” signage in the westbound direction, vehicles were observed to queue within the intersection.
Safety Analysis
The Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 112/ National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 562, Improving Pedestrian Safety at Unsignalized Crossings, provides guidelines and general recommendations on pedestrian crossing treatments to consider at unsignalized intersections. The report provides a procedure for evaluation of the pedestrian crossing that includes the posted speed limit or 85th percentile speed on the major street, peak-hour pedestrian volumes, traffic signal warrant, and pedestrian delay. Based on Appendix A, Step 2 of the report, the minimum pedestrian volume for a peak-hour evaluation is 20 pedestrians per hour for both directions. If fewer pedestrians are crossing the street, then geometric improvements (rather than signs, signals, or markings) such as traffic calming, median refuge islands, and curb extensions, are alternatives that can be considered.

Charleston Road/Alma Street Railroad Crossing Safety Improvements Figure 3
Ruthelma Avenue and Charleston Road Existing Lane Geometry and Traffic Volumes Charleston Road/Alma Street Railroad Crossing Safety Improvements January 2, 2026
P a g e | 16
Based on intersection counts conducted in January 2025, the pedestrian volume utilizing the crosswalk on Charleston Road at Ruthelma Avenue is between 5 and 10 pedestrians during peak commute hours. Since the pedestrian volume is below the minimum threshold described in the TCRP/NCHRP report, geometric improvements should be considered. However, it is not possible to accommodate a median refuge island or curb extensions at the crosswalk within the existing right- of-way. Since vehicles were observed to stop within the crosswalk when queues extended past Ruthelma Avenue, the existing “Keep Clear” zone could be extended past the crosswalk.
However, installing an additional “Keep Clear” space on eastbound Charleston Road would extend the eastbound queue longer than it already is during the peak hours. To enhance pedestrian visibility and increase driver awareness at the uncontrolled, marked crosswalk across Charleston Road at Ruthelma Avenue, a pedestrian actuated Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) to accompany the pedestrian warning sign on both sides of the crosswalk is recommended. RRFBs consist of two rectangular- shaped yellow indications, each with a light-emitting diode (LED)-array- based light source. RRFBs flash with an alternating high frequency when activated to enhance visibility of pedestrians at the crossing to drivers.
Conclusions
The proposed railroad crossing safety improvement includes the installation of a pre-signal on eastbound Charleston Road, which would restrict eastbound right-turns on red. Although the stop line for eastbound Charleston Road is located to the west of the train tracks, along with a “Stop here on Red” sign that informs motorists to stop at the stop line, field observations showed that some motorists would pull forward across the train tracks and wait in the area on the east side of the tracks, and right-turning vehicles were observed to turn during the red phase of the traffic signal.
Although the results show that the average delay and queue length would increase for eastbound Charleston Road during the AM, school PM and commute PM peak hours, the pre-signal would discourage motorists from queuing within the train crossing area, thus improving motorist safety.
In addition to the pre-signal on eastbound Charleston Road, Hexagon recommends that the City consider advance preemption operation for the Alma Street/Charleston Road intersection to improve safety for the northbound left-turn and westbound through motorists. With advance preemption operation, the traffic signal controller would begin the preemption sequence for a period before the railroad warning devices are activated, which would allow vehicles to clear the tracks before the gate lowers and would decrease the potential for rearend collisions.
Alternative phasing, including an overlap phase for the eastbound right-turn movement on Charleston Road and an eight-phase signal configuration, would result in an increase in average intersection delays due to the decrease in throughput capacity. Therefore, alternative phasing is not recommended.
Based on intersection counts conducted in January 2025, the pedestrian volume utilizing the crosswalk on Charleston Road at Ruthelma Avenue is below the minimum threshold described in the TCRP/NCHRP report. Since it is not possible to accommodate a median refuge island or curb extensions at the crosswalk within the existing right-of-way, Hexagon recommends that the City consider installing pedestrian actuated Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) to accompany the pedestrian warning signs on both sides of the crosswalk.
