I Page 4 of 12 Traffic Review on Temple City Boulevard between South of Valley Boulevard to Loftus Drive COLLISION INVESTIGATION A Collision History Analysis and investigation was conducted for the subject location. Collision data was obtained from the computerized collision records system maintained by the State of California called the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records Systems (SWITRS). The collision analysis was conducted over approximately a 3 -year period between August 2020 through August 2022 (available data at the time of traffic review). A review of available collisions that were reported to SWITRS within 50 feet of each intersection and midblock along Temple City Boulevard from South of Valley Boulevard to Loftus Drive was conducted. Based on the Collision History Analysis and investigation, it was determined that there were 11 total collisions reported. A summary breakdown of the number of collisions within the studied segment are listed below and shown in Table 1 and depicted in Figure 3. 2022 - 4 collisions 2021- 4 collisions 2020 - 3 collisions Total Collisions -11 Table 1: Temple City Boulevard from South of Valley Boulevard to Loftus Drive CITY OF ROSEMEAD Prepared By: Transtech Engineers, Inc.

I Page 6 of 12 Traffic Review on Temple City Boulevard between South of Valley Boulevard to Loftus Drive Boulevard from South of Valley Boulevard to Loftus Drive carries more traffic and higher speed than would be safe for installation consideration. The Speed Hump criteria outlines that a street must have a posted speed limit of 25 mph or less and carry less than 3,000 vehicles per day. Temple City Boulevard from South of Valley Boulevard to Loftus Drive has a posted speed of 40 mph with 20,100 vehicles per day. Instead, other traffic calming measures were recommended and determined to be a more appropriate improvement to address the resident concerns. TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES AND STRATEGIES Traffic calming is the process of reducing vehicle speeds using both passive devices, such as signs and striping, and physical devices such as changes in road elevation or path. As part of this study, traffic speeds, collisions, and traffic volumes were used to assess existing conditions along this segment. The type, design, and placement of traffic calming devices depend upon the road classification, desired traffic speed and types of traffic issues along Temple City Boulevard from South of Valley Boulevard to Loftus Drive. The following is a list traffic calming measures that are recommended for this segment: 1) Larger Dimension Signs: Installation of larger dimensioned signage are recommended as treatments to increase the motorist's awareness and other Driver conditions by highlighting various areas of the roadway. All sign dimensions should comply with the dimensions specified in the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) Table 213-1 Regulatory Sign and Plaque Sizes. The larger sizes are shown in the multi -lane column as 36"x36" for stop signs and 30"x36" for speed limits. Table 213-1. Regulatory Sign and Plague Sizes (Sheet 1 of 4) 2) Radar Feedback Signs: Radar feedback signs are an effective way to alert Drivers of their speed. The speed of each passing vehicle is taken and displayed next to the posted speed limit. 3) Targeted Police Enforcement: The police department deploys officers to perform enforcement on residential streets for at least an hour a day. 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), based on the traffic review and engineering judgement, it was determined that the segment of Temple City Boulevard from South of Valley Boulevard to Loftus Drive would benefit from additional traffic calming measures and signage installation.
