Line of Sight Review at the Intersection of Fern Avenue and Pine Street SUMMARY The City of Rosemead has received a resident request to evaluate the line-of-sight visibility and existing roadway conditions at the intersection of Fern Avenue and Pine Street. In response to this request and on behalf of the City, engineering staff completed a curb marking review to determine if additional red curb is warranted to increase visibility for drivers turning from Fern Avenue onto Pine Street.

After a thorough review of existing field and traffic conditions and per the guidelines in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), California Vehicle Code (CVC), and based on engineering judgement, it was determined that 80-feet of red curb should be installed on either side of the street along Pine Street at Fern Avenue.
