Traffic Review for Red Curb Request for 3247 Jackson Avenue
After a thorough review of existing field and traffic conditions and per the California Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), California Vehicle Code (CVC), City of Rosemead Curb marking Policy
and engineering judgement, it is recommended to install red curb on either side of the driveway, often
referred to as red tipping in front of the address of 3247 Jackson Avenue. The red curb will prevent
vehicles from parking up to the driveway aprons during peak parking times.
Please refer to Figure 3 for a conceptual exhibit representation of the proposed recommendations.
1. The driveway apron plus an additional 1 foot of curb in each direction at 3247 Jackson Avenue
should be painted red indicating no stopping, standing, or parking, whether the vehicle is
attended or unattended to deter vehicles from blocking the driveway access. There will still be
approximately 65' feet of available curb space to the south of the driveway (to the next
driveway) and 114' feet north of the driveway to the fire hydrant. Assuming 18' parking for
each vehicle approximately 3-4 cars will still be able to park to the south and 6 cars to the north.
2. The address curb numbering for 3247 Jackson Avenue shall be removed and repainted outside
the newly painted red curb.
