STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT:
Resolution awarding a contract to Elite Companies US, Inc., for Pavement Rehabilitation on
Meridian Avenue, from UPRR Overcrossing to FoothiIl Boulevard, per Plan No. 12796 (SSl1-
002).
BACKGROUND:
On June 29, 201 I, the Mayor and Common Council approved the FY 2011-12 through FY 2015-
16 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which includes the subject project. This project
primarily provides for pavement rehabilitation. The project also provides curb access ramps and
sidewalk improvements in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and
additional curb and gutter improvements to ensure that the roadway drainage is adequately
conveyed through the project limits.
The amount of $162,000 was budgeted in FY 2011-12 for Project No. SS 11-002, covering the
general roadway rehabilitation work. This amount will be supplemented by Project No. SO-A,
covering cross gutter and drainage inlet repairs, in an amount of $33,600. The project work
occurs adjacent to Fire Station No.9 and Nicholson Park. Work activities will be coordinated so
as to limit impacts to the operations of these City facilities.
Local advertising for project bids included the San Bernardino County Sun Newspaper, F. W.
Dodge Company (Rancho Cucamonga and Monrovia), High Desert Plan Room, Construction
Bid Board, San Diego Daily Transcript, Bid America Electronic, AGC Plan Room/The Daily
Construction Reporter, Reed Construction Data, Construction Bid Source, Bid Ocean, and the
San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce. Information was also posted on the City's
website.
A total of three bids were received and are listed below:
Name of Bidder City Amt. of Total Bid
Elite Companies US, Inc. Huntinlrton Beach $ 160,193.70
All American Asphalt Corona $ 183,500.00
Matich Corporation San Bernardino $ 199,000.00
En2ineer's Estimate $ 188,104.00
After a complete review of the three sealed competitive bids and verification of mathematical
calculations and certifications, staff has determined that Elite Companies US, Inc., is the
apparent low bidder and has met the minimum requirements of the specifications and bid
guidelines.
Based on the above information, Elite Companies US, Inc., is the lowest responsible bidder and
staff recommends that the contract be awarded to them.

notice of the claim must be submitted to the Office of the City Engineer in writing within 2
working days after the time of the bid opening and send copies of the notice to the subcontractors
involved.

listed sub-contractor, keeping in mind that the prime contractor for this project is required to
provide or perform, with his own organization, contract work amounting to at least 50% of the

purchased directly by the prime contractor is considered as included in the prime contractor's 50%
requirement. If material purchased directly by the prime contractor is to be used by a listed sub-
contractor in performing contract work, the dollar amount of such purchased material should not
be included in the dollar amount listed for said sub-contractor.

SECTION 2
2-1 BID REOUlREMENTS AND CONDITIONS
2-1.01 GENERAL -- Bids must submitted on the bid form contained herein. All
bids shall be signed, sealed and accompanied by cash, cashier's check or bid bond made payable
to the City of San Bernardino, in the amount often percent (10%) of the bid. Such cash, check or
bond shall be given as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into the contract if awarded to him.
In the event the bidder, to whom the contact is awarded, refuses to execute said contract, and/or
fails to file the necessary bonds and insurance certificate within ten (10) working days following
the date of the CITY's Notice of Award letter, the Bidder shall be considered as not fully
executing the contract. By not executing the contract, the use by the public of the improvements
will be delayed and the public will suffer great damage. From the nature of the case, it would be
extremely difficult and impractical to fix the amount of said damage. Therefore, the CITY and
the bidder agree that the bid guarantee of 10% of the bid shall be paid to the CITY as liquidated
damages and not as forfeiture. Bid bonds shall be underwritten by a surety company having a
rating in Best's most recent Insurance Guide of "A" or better. Bonds must be issued by a surety
who is listed in the latest version of U.S. Department of Treasury Circular 570 and is authorized
to issue bonds in the State of California. The Form of Bid Bond is contained in the Bid
Documents in Part I of the Special Provisions. Notarization of the signatures of the Principal and
the Surety and the Power of Attorney of the signing Surety shall accompany this form. Any bid
not accompanied by such bid bond will be rejected as invalid.
2-1.02 MINORITY AND WOMEN'S BUSINESS ENTERPRISES -- A policy for
establishing goals for participation of Minority and Women's Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE)
was adopted by Resolution No. 95-409 of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
Bernardino, on 11-20-95. This outreach program superseded Resolution No. 93-411 and the
Standard Operation Procedures dated January 1994.
Bidder's outreach efforts (good faith efforts) must reach out to MBEs, WBEs and all other
business enterprises. Prime bidders could reasonably be expected to produce a level of
participation by interested subcontractors of.J.2- % MBE and i % WBE on this project.
Bidders shall make every reasonable effort to solicit bids from MBE/WBEs.
A justification shall be provided to support the rejection of any bid from a minority or
women's business enterprise, certified by Caltrans.
SP-5
2-1.03 MINORITY. WOMEN AND OTHER BUSINESS ENTERPRISES AND
CITY PROCUREMENTS -- It is the policy of the City of San Bernardino to provide Minority
Business Enterprises (MBEs), Women Business Enterprises (WBEs) and all other enterprises an
equal opportunity to participate in the performance of all CITY contracts. Bidders shall assist the
CITY in implementing this policy by taking all reasonable steps to ensure that all available
business enterprises, including local MBEs and WBEs, have an equal opportunity to compete for
and participate in CITY contracts. Bidders' good faith efforts to reach-out to MBEs, WBEs and
all other business enterprises shall be determined by the following factors:
(1) The bidder attended pre-solicitation or pre-bid meetings, if any, scheduled by the
CITY to inform all bidders of the requirements for the project for which the
contract will be awarded. The CITY may waive this requirement if the bidder
certifies it is informed as to those project requirements.
(2) The bidder identified and selected specific items of the project for which the
contract will be awarded to be performed by sub-contractors to provide an
opportunity for participation by MBEs, WBEs and other business enterprises. The
bidder shall, when economically feasible, divide total contract requirements into
small portions or quantities to permit maximum participation ofMBEs, WBEs and
other business enterprises.
(3) The bidder advertised for bids from interested business enterprises not less than ten
calendar days* prior to the submission of bids, in one or more daily or weekly
newspapers, trade association publications, minority or trade oriented publications,
trade journals, or other media specified by the CITY.
(4) The bidder provided written notice of its interest in bidding on the contract to those

Steps an applicant should take
Apprenticeship l.ideo - "Califomia's Best Kept Secret"
Description of apprenticeship
Apprenticeship is a system of learning while earning, and "learning by doing." It combines training on the job with related
and supplemental instruction at school. Today, it is utilized chiefly in the skilled crafts. Each program operates under
apprenticeship training standards agreed to by labor and/or management in accordance with State and Federal laws,
under which a person works with a skilled worker and gains on the job skills and "know-how" and in tum becomes an
important part of the occupation and industry. In those crafts in which management and labor organizations exist, each
selects an equal number of members to seM on the joint apprenticeship committee. The joint apprenticeship
committee determines the standards for training of its occupation and supenlises the training of apprentices.
In many cases the local apprenticeship committees hale guidelines in the form of national and/or statewide standards
recommended by the adl.isory organizations. But these are minimums and the local groups usually hale complete.
autonomy in de\eloping and administering their own programs.
Qualifications for apprenticeship
To be successful, the indil.idual must hale perselerance, ambition, and initiatile. Like a college education, the
successful completion of an apprenticeship term does not come easily, but is the result of hard work on the part of the
apprentice.
In practically e\ery skilled occupation, more than fundamental knowledge of arithmetic is essential. The ability to read,
write and speak well is beneficial in any walk of life, but in some apprenticeship occupations it is more important than in
others. In some occupations, indil.iduals seeking an apprenticeship will be at a decided advantage if they hale taken
shop courses, hale some knowledge of mechanical drawing, physics, blueprint reading, drafting, higher mathematics,
chemistry, electricity, welding or the like. Physical fitness, a good sense of balance, eye-hand coordination, color
sense, agility, strength, ability to work at heights and mechanical aptitude are desirable qualifications in many skilled
occupations and one or more of these are'essential in others. Ability to work with others, good personality, and neat
appearance are necessary in most trades, particularty where contact with the public is im.olled.
In many skilled occupations, persons with a high school diploma or its equivalent are preferred. Prospectile skilled
workers usually like to work with their hands and to use various tools to build and repair things. They like to finish things
once they hale started and donl care how dirty or greasy the job, so long as they get it done. They enjoy l.isits to shops
and factories and like to talk to mechanics about the jobs they do and the problems they meet in their work. In school,
they get along well in shop, science, mathematics and mechanical drawing classes, and enjoy working on practical
problems in the classroom and at home.
These are only some of the factors that may indicate an aptitude for the skilled crafts.
How apprenticeship programs operate
The training is supenlised by Joint Apprenticeship Committee (JAC) - sometimes called Joint Apprenticeship and
Training Committee (JATC), or a Unilateral Apprenticeship Committee (UAC).
Training is "spelled out" in apprenticeship standards deleloped by the local apprenticeship committees, with the
assistance of consultants of the Dil.ision of Apprenticeship Standards, and registered with the State. The processes of
the trade and the number of hours to be spent leaming each process are defined.
The period of training is from 1 to 6 years, depending upon the trade. Most programs are for 4 years.
Apprentices start at a percentage of the skilled workers wage and receil.e increases at regular intervals. Starting rates
are usually 35% to 50%, and increases are gil.en el.ery six months in most trades.
Apprentices attend classes of related technical instruction, usually in the public schools. This instruction,
supplementing the training on the job, gil.es apprentices a comprehensil.e understanding of the theoretical aspects of
their work. Related instruction is one of the fundamental features of apprenticeship and has been del.eloped and
accepted as standard practice in el.ery trade. In most cases this means attending classes at night 4 hours each week,
for at least 108 hours a year. The instruction includes such subjects as safety laws and regulations, mathematics,
drafting, blueprint reading and other sciences connected with the trade.
In class apprentices learn the theories of their trade; each day on the job they learn its practice, under the superv;sion of
skilled workers, instruction in the use of the tools of the trade is also gil.en apprentices early in their training; in most
trades they are not allowed to use any power-dril.en machinery until well advanced in their training. Apprentices are
usually required to fumish their own hand tools.
Each apprentice signs an apprentice agreement either with a JAC, UAC or an indilAdual employer. This agreement is
filed with the DilAsion of Apprenticeship Standards.
Upon successful completion of training, they are issued a "Certificate of Completion" by the State of Califomia.
In a number of occupations and industries apprentices receil.e, in addition to their regular wages, fringe benefits cOl.ering
vacation pay, health and welfare, pensions, etc. Through collectil.e bargaining in a number of instances, employers also
pay certain regular amounts into apprenticeship funds, which are administered by boards of trustees. Coordinators of
apprenticeship and field representatil.es are employed by these boards to superv;se the training of apprentices in a gil.en
trade or area, process apprentice applications, keep records of progress, and the like. Where fund offices and staffs
hal.e been established, they hal.e been of great value to the JACs, apprentices and the industry.
Industry coordinators and apprenticeship consultants of the DilAsion of Apprenticeship Standards IAsit establishments to
detemline on-the-job progress of apprentices, seek new apprenticeship openings, and discuss problems with
apprentices, superv;sors and employers.
The role of the state, through the DilAsion of Apprenticeship Standards, is consultatil.e and del.elopmental. The field and
technical staffs of the DilAsion assist management, labor, JAC's and UAC's by seeking to promote and del.elop
additional training programs, by prolAding technical data through research on current trends and training practices to
improl.e and enlarge existing programs, and by serv;ng as the registration' and certification agency for apprenticeship in
Califomia. The DilAsion carries out the regulations fomlulated by the Califomia Apprenticeship Council, which is charged
by law to "foster, promote, and del.elop the welfare of the apprentice and industry, improl.e the working conditions of
apprentices, and advance their opportunities for profitable employment;" (Shelly-Maloney Apprentice Labor Standards
Act of 1939, as amended-Chapter 4 of DilAsion 3, Labor Code of the State ofCalifomia.)
The Council's regulations are spelled out in Title 8, Chapter 2 of the California Administratil.e Code. Of particular interest
are the sections pertaining to non-discrimination in apprenticeship.
Sec. 212 defines the contents of apprenticeship standards to be approl.ed by the DilAsion of Apprenticeship Standards,
including paragraph (b) (13):
"ProlAsion for fair and impartial treatment of applicants for apprenticeship, selected through uniform selection
procedures. "
Sec. 215 prolAdes in part:
"Selection procedures must be in writing, approl.ed by the apprenticeship program sponsor, and must meet objectil.e
standards. "
Apprenticeship programs must comply with the State of Califomia Plan for Equal Opportunity in Apprenticeship Adopted
and amended by the Califomia Apprenticeship Council on NOl.ember 28, 1983, as though expressly set forth herein and
shall be considered as an appendix hereto and appropriately marked as such, including the month and year of adoption.
The DilAsion's State Plan del.eloped to meet the requirements of relAsed 29 CFR 30 is spelled out in the booklet, "State
of California Plan for Equal Opportunity in Apprenticeship," which also contains administratil.e guidelines for
implementing the Plan.
Steps an applicant should take
1. Select an occupation for which you haw an aptitude or some previous experience and the physical ability to
perform.
2. Find out if you meet the minimum qualifications for that occupation.
3. Decide whether you can work under the required job conditions, some of which may be hazardous, dirty,
uncomfortable or otherwise unpleasant.
4. Apply for an apprenticeship either directly to an employer in the occupations, the JAC, UAC, the appropriate
union, or the Califomia Employment Dewlopment Department.
5. Take aptitude or other tests where required.
6. If the apprenticeship committee has a waiting list of applicants, determine whether or not you are sufficiently
interested in the occupation to wait for an opening, or whether you should seek other employment.
7. Some apprenticeship committees haw applicants find their own employment with a firm which participates in the
apprenticeship program.

CHAPTER 3B. PAVEMENT AND CURB MARKINGS
Section 3B.01 Yellow Centerline Pavement Markin!!s and Warrants
Standard:
Centerline pavement markings, when used, shall be the pavement markings used to delineate the
separation oftraffic lanes that have opposite directions oftravelon a roadway and shall be yellow,
Option:
Centerline pavement markings may be placed at a location that is not the geometric center of the
roadway.
On roadways without continuous centerline pavement markings, short sections may be marked with
centerline pavement markings to control the position of traffic at specific locations, such as around curves,
over hills, on approaches to highway-railroad grade crossings, at highway-railroad grade crossings, and at
bridges.
Standard:
The centerline markings on two-lane, two-way roadways shall be one of the following as shown in
Figure 3B-1:
A. Two-direction passing zone markings consisting of a normal broken yellow line where crossing
the centerline markings for passing with care is permitted for traffic traveling in either
direction;
B. One-direction no-passing zone markings consisting of a normal broken yellow line and a normal
solid yellow line where crossing the centerline markings for passing with care is permitted for
the traffic traveling adjacent to the broken line, hut is prohihited for traffic traveling adjacent
to the solid line; and
C. Two-direction no-passing zone markings consisting of two normal solid yellow lines where
crossing the centerline markings for passing is prohibited for traffic traveling in either
direction.
The centerline markings on undivided two-way roadways with four or more lanes for moving
motor vehicle traffic always availahle shall be the two-direction no-passing zone markings consisting
of two normal solid yellow lines as shown in Figure 3B-2.
Guidance:
On two-way roadways with three through lanes for moving motor vehicle traffic, two lanes should be
designated for traffic in one direction by using one- or two-direction no-passing zone markings as shown in
Figure 3B-3.
Standard:
Centerline markings shall be placed on all paved urban arterials and collectors that have a
traveled way of 6.1 m (20 ft) or more in width and an AnT of 6,000 vehicles per day or greater.
Centerline markings shall also he placed on all paved two-way streets or highways that have three or
more lanes for moving motor vehicle traffic.
Guidance:
Centerline markings should be placed on paved urban arterials and collectors that have a traveled way of
6.1 m (20 ft) or more in width and an ADT of 4,000 vehicles per day or greater. Centerline markings should
also be placed on all rural arterials and collectors that have a traveled way of 5.5 m (18 ft) or more in width
and an ADT of 3,000 vehicles per day or greater. Centerline markings should also be placed on other
traveled ways where an engineering study indicates such a need.
Engineering judgment should be used in determining whether to place centerline markings on traveled
ways that are less than 4.9 m (16 ft) wide because ofthe potential for traffic encroaching on the pavement
edges, traffic being affected by parked vehicles, and traffic encroaching into the opposing traffic lane.
Option:
Centerline markings may be placed on other paved two-way traveled ways that are 4.9 m (16 ft) or more
in width.
If a traffic count is not available, the ADTs described in this Section may be estimates that are based on
engineering judgment.

California MUTCD
(FHWA's MUTCD Z003 including Revisionsl and Z, as amended for use in California)
Page 3B-Z
Standard:
Centerline patterns shall be selected from those shown in Figures 3A-101(CA) and 3A-104(CA).
Raised retroreflective pavement markers shall be used to supplement the centerline markings on State
highways, except in snow areas. '
Supporl:
On horizontal curves with radii less than 1000 m (3280 ft) and without street lighting, Detail 22 instead of Detail 21
can be helpful in improving the delineation for centerline markings as it indudes retroreflective raised pavement markers,
Detail 22 can be applied in advance of the approach to the curve per Table 2C-4 and continued throughout the length of
the curve,
Refer to CVC 21460 for Double Lines.
Refer to CVC 21460,5 for Two-Way Left-Turn Lanes.
Standard:
A left edge line shall consist of a solid 100 mm (4 in) wide yellow line, yellow reflective pavement markers or
a combination of line and markers as shown in Figure 3A-105(CA).
Option:
Two normal solid yellow lines may be used as a left edge line on a divided roadway for more emphasis when
motorists tend to use the shoulder for a through lane or where encroachments onto the shoulder occasionally occur.
Support:
Left edge line patterns for median islands are shown in Figure 3A-107(CA).
Section 3B.02 No-Passin!! Zone Pavement Markin!!s and Warrants
Standard:
No-passing zones shall be marked by either the one direction no-passing zone pavement markings
or the two-direction no-passing zone pavement markings described previously and shown in Figures
3B-l and 3B-3.
When centerline markings are used, no-passing zone markings shall be used on two-way roadways
at lane reduction transitions (see Section 3B.09) and on approaches to obstructions that must be passed
on the right (see Section 3B.I0).
O..iEian.e: I
Where the "istan.e between s....essive ne paosing zenes is leos than 129 HI (199 It), ne paosiflg
markiflgs sheul" .erHIe.t the zenes.
Standard:
If the gap between successive no.passing zones is less than the sight distance for the prevailing speed I
shown in Table 3B.1, the no-passing zone shall be continuous.
Where centerline markings are used, no-passing zone markings shall be used on approaches to
highway-rail grade crossings in conformance with Section 8B.20.
Option:
In addition to pavement markings, no-passing zone signs (see Sections 2B.29, 2B,30, and 2C.35) may be
used to emphasize the existence and extent of a no-passing zone.
Support:
Section 11-307 of the "Uniform Vehicle Code (UVe) Revised" contains further information regarding
no-passing zones. The "UVC" can be obtained from the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and
Ordinances at the address shown on Page i.
Standard:
On two-way, two- or three-lane roadways where centerline markings are installed, no-passing
zones shall be established at vertical and horizontal curves and other locations where an engineering
study indicates that passing must be prohibited because of inadequate sight distances or other special
conditions.
On tbree-Iane roadways where the direction of travel in the center lane transitions from one
direction to the other, a no-passing buffer zone shall be provided in the center lane as shown in Figure
3B-4. A lane transition shall be provided at each end of the buffer zone.
The buffer zone shall be a median island that is at least 15 m (50 ft) in length.
Chapter 38 - Pavement and Curb Markings
Part 3 - Markings
January 21, 2010
California MUTCD
(FHW A's MUTCD 2003 including Revisions I and 2, as amended for use in California)
Page 3B-3
Guidance:
For three-lane roadways having a posted or statutory speed limit ono km/h (45 rnph) or greater, the lane
transition taper length should be computed by the formula L = 0.62 WS for speeds in km/h (L = WS for
speeds in mph). For roadways where the posted or statutory speed limit is less than 70 km/h (45 mph), the
formula L = WS21155 for speeds in km/h (L = WS2/60 for speeds in mph) should be used to compute taper
length. Under both formulas, L equals the taper length in meters (feet), W equals the width of the center lane
or offset distance in meters (feet), and S equals the 85th-percentile speed or the posted or statutory speed
limit, whichever is higher.
Standard:
The minimum lane transition taper length shall be 30 m (100 ft) in urban areas and 60 m (200 ft)
in rural areas.
On roadways with centerline markings, no-passing zone markings shall be used at horizontal or
vertical curves where the passing sight distance is less than the minimum necessary for reasonably safe
passing at the 85th-percentile speed or the posted or statutory speed limit as shown in Table 3B-1. The
passing sight distance on a vertical curve is the distance at which an object 1.07 m (3.5 ft) above the
pavement surface can be seen from a point 1.07 m (3.5 ft) above the pavement (see Figure 3B-5).
Similarly, the passing sight distance on a horizontal curve is the distance measured along the
centerline (or right-hand lane line of a three-lane roadway) between two points 1.07 m (3.5 ft) above
the pavement on a line tangent to the embankment or other obstruction that cuts off the view on the
inside of the curve (see Figure 3B-5).
Support:
The beginning of a no-passing zone at point "a" in Figure 3B-5 is that point where the sight distance first
becomes less than that specified in Table 3B-1. The end ofthe no-passing zone at point "b" in Figure 3B-5 is
that point at which the sight distance again becomes greater than the minimum specified.
Support:
Refer to CVC 21750 through 21759 for overtaking and passing.
Refer to CVC 21460 for Double Lines.
CVC 21752 restricts passing (driving on left side of a two-way roadway) when approaching within 30 m (100 ft) of or
when traversing any intersection or railroad grade crossing. CVC 21752 also restricts passing (driving on left side of a
two-way roadway) when the view is obstructed upon approaching within 30 m (100 ft) of any bridge, viaduct, or tunnel.
The patterns and policy for intersection markings are shown in Figure 3A-109(CA).
Standard:
No-passing zone patterns shall be selected from those shown in Figures 3A-103(CA) and 3A-104(CA).
Guidance:
The no-passing zone markings at intersections, when used, should be between 30 m (100 ft) and 90 m (300 ft) in
length at the approach to an intersection and placed in a pattern as shown in Figure 3A-109(CA).
Section 3B.03 Other Yellow Lonl!itudinal Pavement Markin!!s
Standard:
If reversible lanes are used, tbe lane line pavement markings on each side of reversible lanes shall
consist of a normal double broken yellow line to delineate tbe edge of a lane in wbicb tbe direction of
travel is reversed from time to time, such that each of tbese markings serve as tbe centerline markings
of tbe roadway during some period (see Figure 3B-6).
Signs (see Section 2B.25), lane-use control signals (see Chapter 4J), or both sball be used to
supplement reversible lane pavement markings. .
If a two-way left-turn lane that is never operated as a reversible lane is used, the lane Iiue
pavement markings on each side of the two-way left-turn lane shall consist of a normal broken yellow
line and a normal solid yellow line to delineate the edges of a lane that can be used by traffic in either
direction as part of a left-turn maneuver. These markings shall be placed with the broken line toward
the two-way left-turn lane and the solid line toward the adjacent traffic lane as shown in Figure 38-7.

Part 3 - Markings
January 21, 2010
California MUTCD
(FHWA's MUTCD 2003 including Revisions! and 2, as amended for use in California)
Page 3B-4
Option:
Pavement marking arrows may be used in conjunction with the two-way left-turn lane markings as
shown in Figure 3B-7.
GHiElaBee:
Signs sheultI may be used in conjunction with the two-way left turn markings (see Section 2B.24).
Standard:
If a continuous median island formed by pavement markings separating travel in opposite
directions is nsed, two sets of double solid yellow lines shall be used to form the island as shown in
Figures 38-2 and 38-4. Other markings in the median island area shall also be yellow, except
crosswalk markings which shall be white (see Section 38.17).
On State highways, reversible lanes shall be separated by physical barriers or delineators.
Support:

Standard:
If used, diagonal lines shall be the same color as the edge line.
Section 3B.06 Ed!!e Line Pavement Markin!!s
Standard:
If used, edge line pavement markings shall delineate the right or left edges of a roadway.
Except for dotted edge line extensions (see Section 3B.OS), edge line markings shall not be
continued through intersections or major driveways.
If used on the roadways of divided highways or one-way streets, or on any ramp in the direction of
travel, left edge line pavement markings shall consist of a normal solid yellow line to delineate the left
edge of a roadway or to indicate driving or passing restrictions left of these markings.
If used, the right edge line pavement markings shall consist of a normal solid white line to
delineate the right edge of the roadway.
Guidance:
Edge line markings should not be broken for minor driveways.
Support:
Edge line markings have unique value as visual references to guide road users during adverse weather
and visibility conditions.
Option:
Wide solid edge line markings may be used for greater emphasis.
Standard:
A right edge line shall consist of a solid 100 mm (4 in) wide white line.
Guidance:

Section 3B.07 Warrants for Use of Ed!!e Lines
Standard:
Edge line markings shall be placed on paved streets or highways with the following characteristics:
A. Freeways;
B. Expressways; and
C. Rural arterials with a traveled way of 6.1 m (20 ft) or more in width and an ADT of 6,000
vehicles per day or greater.
Guidance:
Edge line markings should be placed on paved streets or highways with the following characteristics:
A. Rural arterials and collectors with a traveled way of 6.1 m (20 ft) or more in width and an ADT of
3,000 vehicles per day or greater.
B. At other paved streets and highways where an engineering study indicates a need for edge line
markings.
Edge line markings should not be placed where an engineering study or engineering judgment indicates
that providing them is likely to decrease safety.
Option:
Edge line markings may be placed on streets and highways with or without centerline markings.
Edge line markings may be excluded, based on engineering judgment, for reasons such as if the traveled
way edges are delineated by curbs, parking, bicycle lanes, or other markings.
Edge line markings may be used where edge delineation is desirable to minimize unnecessary driving on
paved shoulders or on refuge areas that have lesser structural pavement strength than the adjacent roadway.
Standard:
Edge lines shall be used on all State highways, except urban type streets with curbs and parking
provisions.
Option:
The Two-Way Traffic (W6-3) sign may be used in conjunction with edge lines at locations where motorists could
perceive that they are on a one-way roadway when, in fact, they are on a two lane. two-way highway. See Section 2C.34
for W6-3 sign.
Section 3B.08 Extensions Throu!!h Intersections or Interchan!!es
Standard:
Pavement markings extended into or continued through an intersection or interchange area shall
be the same color 8nd 8t 108st the S8me width as the line markings they extend (see Figure 3B-11).
Option:
A normal line may be used to extend a wide line through an intersection.
Guidance:
Where highway design or reduced visibility conditions make it desirable to provide control or to guide
vehicles through an intersection or interchange, such as at offset, skewed, complex, or multilegged
intersections, on curved roadways, or where multiple turn lanes are used, dotted line markings should be used
to extend longitudinal line markings through an intersection or interchange area.
Option:
Dotted edge line extensions may be placed through intersections or major driveways.
Guidance:
Where greater restriction is required, solid lane lines or channelizing lines should be extended into or
continued through intersections or major driveways. However, edge lines should not be extended into or
continued through intersections or major driveways as solid lines.
A single line of equal width to one of the lines of the double line should be used to extend a double line
through an intersection.
To the extent possible, pavement marking extensions through intersections should be designed in a
manner that minimizes potential confusion for drivers in adjacent or opposing lanes.
Support:
See Figure 3A-112(CA), Detail 40 and 40A for lane line extensions.

Section 3B.09 Lane Reduction Transition Markin!!s
Standard:
Where pavement markings are used, lane reduction transition markings shall be nsed to gnide I
traffic through transition areas where the uumber of through laues is reduced, as shown in Figure 3B-
H-3B-12(CA). On two-way roadways, no-passing zone markings shall be used to prohibit passing in the
direction ofthe convergence, and shall continue through the transition area.
Guidance:
For roadways having a posted or statutory speed limit ono km/h (45 mph) or greater, the transition taper
length for a lane reduction should be computed by the formula L ~ 0.62 WS for speeds in km/h (L = WS for
speeds in mph). For roadways where the posted or statutory speed limit is less than 70 km/h (45 mph), the
formula L = WS2!l55 for speeds in km/h (L = WS2/60 for speeds in mph) should be used to compute taper
lengfu. Under both formulas, L equals the taper length in meters (feet), W equals the width of the offset
distance in meters (feet), and S equals the 85th-percentile speed or the posted or statutory speed limit,
whichever is higher.
Where observed speeds exceed posted or statutory speed limits, longer tapers should be used.
Option:
On new construction, where no posted or statutory speed limit is established, the design speed may be
used in the transition taper length formula.
Guidance:
Lane line markings should be discontinued one-quarter of the distance between the Lane Ends sign (see
Section 2C.33) and the point where the transition taper begins.
Edge line markings should be installed from the location ofthe warning sign to beyond the beginning of
the narrower roadway.
Support:
Pavement markings at lane reduction transitions supplement the standard signs.
Typical lane reduction transitions (four lane to two lane) and transitions from two lanes to four lanes are shown in
Figure 38-12 (GA).
I
Section 3B.I0 AODroach Markin!!s for Obstructions
Standard:
Pavement markings shall be used to guide traffic away from fixed obstructions within a paved
roadway. Approach markings for bridge supports, refuge islands, median islands, and raised
channelization islands shall consist of a tapered line or lines extending from the centerline or the lane
line to a point 0.3 to 0.6 m (1 to 2 ft) to the right side, or to both sides, of the approach end of tlie
obstruction (see Figure 3B-13).
Guidance:
For roadways having a posted or statutory speed limit of 70 km/h (45 mph) or greater, the taper length of
the tapered line markings should be computed by the formula L = 0.62 WS for speeds in km/h (L = WS for
speeds in mph). For roadways where the posted or statutory speed limit is less than 70 km/h (45 mph), the
formula L = WS2!l55 for speeds in km/h (L = WS2/60 for speeds in mph) should be used to compute taper
length. Under both formulas, L equals the taper length in meters (feet), W equats the width of the offset
distance in meters (feet), and S equals the 85th-percentile speed or the posted or statutory speed limit,
whichever is higher.
Standard:
The minimum taper length shall be 30 m (100 ft) in urban areas and 60 m (200 ft) in rural areas.
Support:
Examples of approach markings for obstructions in the roadway are shown in Figure 3B-13.
Option:
Where observed speeds exceed posted or statutory speed lirnits, longer tapers may be used.

Standard:
If traffic is required to pass only to the right of the obstruction, the markings shaD consist of a two-
direction no-passing zone marking at least twice the length of the diagonal portion as determined by
the appropriate taper formula (see Figure 3B-13).
Optiou:
If traffic is required to pass only to the right of the obstruction, yellow diagonal approach markings may
be placed in the neutral area between the no-passing zone markings as shown in Figare 3B-I3. Other
markings, such as yellow delineators, raised pavement markers, and white crosswalk pavement markings,
may also be placed in the neutral area.
Standard:
If traffic can pass either to the right or left of the obstruction, the markings shaD consist of two
channelizing lines diverging from the lane line, one to each side of tbe obstruction. In advance of the
point of divergence, a solid wide white line or solid double normal white line shaD be extended in place
of the broken lane line for a distance equal to the length ofthe diverging lines (see Figure 3B-I3).
Option:
If traffic can pass either to the right or left of the obstruction, additional white markings may be placed in
the neutral area between the charmelizing lines as shown in Figare 3B-I3.
Section 3R.tt Raised Pavement Markers
Standard:
A raised pavement marker shall be a device with a height of at least to mm (0.4 in) mounted on or
in a road surface that is intended to be used as a positioning guide or to supplement or substitute for
pavement markings or to mark the position of a fire hydrant.
The color of raised pavement markers under both daylight and nighttime conditions shaD conform
to the color ofthe marking for which they serve as a positioning guide, or for which they supplement
or substitute.
Option;
Blue raised pavement markers may be used to mark the positions of fire hydrants.
Support;
Retroreflective and internally illuminated raised pavement markers are available in monodirectional and
bidirectional confIgarations. The bidirectional marker is capable of displaying the applicable color for each
direction of travel.
Guidance;
Nonretroreflective raised pavement markers should not be used alone, without supplemental
retroreflective or internally illuminated markers, as a substitute for other types of pavement markings.
Directional configurations should be used to maximize correct information and to minirnize confusing
information provided to the road user. Directional configurations also should be used to avoid confusion
resulting from visibility of markers that do not apply to the road user.
The spacing of raised pavement markers used to supplement or substitute for other types of longitudinal
markings should correspond with the pattern of broken lines for which the markers supplement or substitute.
Standard:

Support:
Raised pavement markers are not nonmally placed where snow plows would damage the markers and require an
unusual amount of replacement.
Guidance:
When used in these areas, they should be recessed, as shown in Department of Transportation's Standard Plan
A20-D. See Section lA.ll for information regarding this publication.
Advance Markers
Option:
Advance Markers at exit ramps may be used to help motorists locate exit ramps in heavy fog areas.
Support:
The Advance Markers consist of a 3-2-1 countdown pattern of one-way clear reflective pavement markers. The
pattern consists of three markers placed on the right shoulder 640 m (2100 It) in advance of the neutral area (gore), two
markers at 425 m (1400 It) and one marker at 215 m (700 It). The markers are placed on a line perpendicular to the lane
line at 0.3 m (1 It) spacing beginning 50 mm (2 in) off the edge of traveled way.
Location Markers for Fire Hvdrants
Option:
Blue raised reflective pavement markers, may be placed on a highway, street, or road, to mark fire hydrant and/or
water supply locations.
Standard:
The blue raised reflective pavement markers shall not be used for any other purpose.
Local agencies shall not place blue reflective pavement markers on a State highway unless they first obtain
an encroachment permit from the Department of Transportation. The agency responsible for the placement shall
also be responsible for the maintenance and replacement. See Section 13060, of the Health and Safety Code.
See Section 1A.11 for information regarding this publication.
Guidance:
In general, the blue reflective pavement markers should be placed 150 mm (6 in) from the centerline stripe, or
approximate center of the pavement where there is no centerline stripe, on the side nearest the fire hydrant.
When placed on expressways, freeways and freeway ramps, they should be placed on the shoulder, 0.31 m (1 It) to
the right of the edge line, opposite the fire hydrant. Typical marker locations are shown on Figure 3B-I02(CA).
Option:
Because fire hydrants adjacent to freeways may be out of the right-of-way and, in many locations, out of view from
the freeway, some fire districts may want to install small supplemental signs (S9(CA) and S10(CA)) or markings to
identify the hydrant number or distance to the hydrant. These installations are optional and at the discretion of the
Department of Transportation's Districts.
Section 3B.12 Raised Pavement Markers as Vehicle Positionin!! Guides with Other Lon!!itndinal
Markin!!s
Option:
Raised pavement markers may be used as positioning guides with longitudinal line markings without
necessarily conveying information to the road user about passing or lane-use restrictions. In such
applications, markers may be positioned between the two lines of a one-way or two-way no-passing zone
marking or positioned in line with or immediately adjacent to singte solid or broken centerline or lane line
markings.

wide and a height equal to 1.5 times the base. The space between the triangles should be +S-t&- 300 mm (349
12 in).
Option:
Yield lines may be used to indicate the point behind which vehicles are required to yield in compliance
with a YIELD (RI-2) sign or a Yield Here to Pedestrians (RI-5 or RI-5a) sign.
Guidance:
If used, stop and yield lines should be placed a minimum of 1.2 m (4 ft) in advance of the nearest
crosswalk line at controlled intersections, except for yield lines at roundabout intersections as provided for in
Section 3B.24 and at midblock crosswalks. In the absence of a marked crosswalk, the stop line or yield line
should be placed at the desired stopping or yielding point, but should be placed no more than 9 m (30 ft) nor
less than 1.2 m (4 ft) from the nearest edge of the intersecting traveled way. Stop lines should be placed to
allow sufficient sight distance to all other approaches to an intersection.
If used at an unsignalized midblock crosswalk, yield lines should be placed adjacent to the Yield Here to
Pedestrians sign located 6.1 to 15 m (20 to 50 ft) in advance of the nearest crosswalk line, and parking should
be prohibited in the area between the yield line and the crosswalk (see Fignre 3B-15).
Stop lines at midblock signalized locations should be placed at least 12 m (40 ft) in advance of the
nearest signal indication (see Section 4D.15).
Support:
Drivers who yield too close to crosswalks on multi-lane approaches place pedestrians at risk by blocking
other drivers' views of pedestrians.
Support:
As defined in CVC 377, a "limit line" is a solid white line not less than 300 mm (12 in) nor more than 600 mm (24 in)
wide, extending across a roadway or any portion thereof to indicate the point at which traffic is required to stop in
compliance with legal requirements.
Standard:
For all purposes, limit line(s) as defined per eve 377shall mean stop line(s).
A limit line shall be placed in conjunction with STOP (R1-1) signs on paved approaches, except where
marked crosswalk exists.
Guidance:
If a sidewalk exists. the limit line should be placed in advance of an unmarked crosswalk area.
Option:
A limit line may be placed in advance of a crosswalk where vehicles are required to stop, in compliance with a STOP
(R1-1) sign, traffic control signal or some other traffic control device.
Support:
If a marked crosswalk is in place, it would normally function as a limit line.
Typical limit line markings are shown in Figure 3B-103(CA).
Standard:
The individual triangles comprising the yield line shall have a base of 0.6 m (2 It) wide and a height of 0.9 m
(3 It). The space between the triangles shall be 0.3 m (1 It).
Support:
Figure 3B-14(CA) shows typical yield line layout for streets and highways.
Section 3B.17 Crosswalk Markin!!s
Support:
Crosswalk markings provide guidance for pedestrians who are crossing roadways by defining and
delineating paths on approaches to and within signalized intersections, and on approaches to other
intersections where traffic stops.
Crosswalk markings also serve to alert road users of a pedestrian crossing point across roadways not
controlled by highway traffic signals or STOP signs.
At nonintersection locations, crosswalk markings legally establish the crosswalk.

Standard:
When crosswalk lines are used, they shall consist of solid white lines that mark the crosswalk. They I
shall he not less than ISO mm (Ii in) 300 mm (12 in) nor greater than 600 mm (24 in) in width.
Guidance:
If transverse lines are used to mark a crosswalk, the gap between the lines should not be less than 1.8 m
(6 ft). If diagonal or longitudinal lines are used without transverse lines to mark a crosswalk, the crosswalk
should be not less than 1.8 m (6 ft) wide.
Crosswalk lines, if used on both sides of the crosswalk, should extend across the full width of pavement
or to the edge of the intersecting crosswalk to discourage diagonal walking between crosswalks (see Figures
3B-15 and 3B-16).
Crosswalks should be marked at all intersections where there is substantial conflict between vehicular
and pedestrian movements.
Marked crosswalks also should be provided at other appropriate points of pedestrian concentration, such
as at loading islands, midblock pedestrian crossings, or where pedestrians could not otherwise recognize the
proper place to cross.
Crosswalk lines should not be used indiscriminately. An engineering study should be performed before
they are installed at locations away from highway traffic signals or STOP signs.
Because nonintersection pedestrian crossings are generally unexpected by the road user, warning signs
(see Section 2CAI) should be installed and adequate visibility should be provided by parking prohibitions.
Support:
Section 3B.16 contains information regarding placement of stop line markings near crosswalk markings.
Option:
For added visibility, the area of the crosswalk may be marked with white diagonal lines at a 45-degree
angle to the line of the crosswalk or with white longitudinal lines parallel to traffic flow as shown in Figure
3B-16.
When diagonal or longitudinal lines are used to mark a crosswalk, the transverse crosswalk lines may be
ornitted. This type of marking may be used at locations where substantial numbers of pedestrians cross
without any other traffic control device, at locations where physical conditions are such that added visibility
of the crosswalk is desired, or at places where a pedestrian crosswalk might not be expected.
Guidance:
If used, the diagonal or longitudinal lines should be 300 to 600 mm (12 to 24 in) wide and spaced 300 to
1500 mm (12 to 60 in) apart. The marking design should avoid the wheel paths, and the spacing should not
exceed 2.5 times the line width.
Option:
When an exclusive pedestrian phase that permits diagonal crossing is provided at a traffic control signal,
a marking as shown in Figure 3B-17 may be used for the crosswalk.
Standard:
Crosswalk markings near schools shall be yellow as provided in CVC 21368. See Part 7.
Option:
Pedestrian crosswalk markings may be placed at intersections, representing extensions of the sidewalk lines, or on
any portion of the roadway distinctiy indicated for pedestrian crossing. Refer to eve 275.
Guidance:
In general, crosswalks should not be marked at intersections unless they are intended to channelize pedestrians.
Emphasis is placed on the use of marked crosswalks as a channelization device.
The following factors may be considered in determining whether a marked crosswalk should be used:
. Vehicular approach speeds from both directions.
. Vehicular volume and density.
. Vehicular turning movements.
. Pedestrian volumes.
. Roadway width.
. Day and night visibility by both pedestrians and motorists.

California MUTCD
(FHW A's MUTCD 2003 including Revisions I and 2, as amended for use in California)
Page3B-15
. Channelization is desirable to clarify pedestrian routes for sighted or sight impaired pedestrians.
. Discouragement of pedestrian use of undesirable routes.
. Consistency with markings at adjacent intersections or within the same intersection.
Option:
Crosswalk markings may be established between intersections (mid-block) in accordance with CVC 21106(a).
Guidance:
Mid-block pedestrian crossings are generally unexpected by the motorist and should be discouraged unless, in the
opinion of the engineer, there is strong justification in favor of such installation. Particular attention should be given to
roadways with two or more traffic lanes in one direction as a pedestrian may be hidden from view by a vehicle yielding
the right-of-way to a pedestrian.
Option:
When diagonal or longitudinal lines are used to mark a crosswalk, the transverse crosswaik lines may be omitted.
Standard:
However, when the factor that determined the need to mark a crosswalk is the clarification of pedestrian
routes for sight-impaired pedestrians, the transverse crosswalk lines shall be marked.
Option:
At controlled approaches, limit lines (stop lines) help to define pedestrian paths and are therefore a factor the
engineer may consider in deciding whether or not to mark the crosswalk.
Where it is desirable to remove a marked crosswalk, the removai may be accomplished by repaving or surface
treatment.
Guidance:
A marked crosswalk should not be eliminated by allowing it to fade out or be worn away.
Support:
The worn or faded crosswalk retains its prominent appearance to the pedestrian at the curb, but is less visible to the
approaching driver.
Standard:
Notification to the public shall be given at least 30 days prior to the scheduled removal of an existing
marked crosswalk. The notice of proposed removal shall inform the public how to provide input related to the
scheduled removal and shall be posted at the crosswalk identified for removal. Refer to eve 21950.5
Option:
Signs may be installed at or adjacent to an intersection directing that pedestrians shall not cross in a crosswalk
indicated at the intersection in accordance with evc 211 06(b).
White PED XING pavement markings may be placed in each approach lane to a marked crosswalk, except at
intersections controlled by traffic signals or STOP or YIELD signs.
Section 3B.IS Parkin!! Soace Markin!!s
Support:
Marking of parking space boundaries encourages more orderly and efficient use of parking spaces where I
parking turnover is substantial. Parking space markings tend to prevent encroachment into fire hydrant zones,
bus stops, loading zones, approaches to intersections, curb ramps, and clearance spaces for islands and other
zones where parking is restricted. Examples of parking space markings are shown in Figure 3B-l& 3B-18(CA).
Standard:
Parking space markings shall be white.
Option:
Blue lines may supplement white parking space markings of each parking space designated for use only
by persons with disabilities.
Support:
Additional parking space markings for the purpose of designating spaces for use only by persons with
disabilities are discussed in Section 3B.19 and illustrated in Figure JB..-l..9 3B-19(CA).
Support:
Refer to cve 22500 lhrough 22522 for parking space markings.
Refer to Section 26.39 for Parking Regulations.

Policy on Parkina Restrictions
Option:
Local authorities may, by ordinance, provide for the establishment of parking meter zones and cause streets and
highways to be marked with white lines designating parking spaces. Refer to CVC Section 22508.
Standard:
Where the proposed zones are on State highways, the ordinances shall be approved by the Department of
Transportation.
Local authorities shall furnish a sketch or map showing the definite location of all parking meter stalls on
State highways before departmental approval is given.
Support:
The District Directors have been delegated the authority to approve such ordinances.
The desirable dimensions of parking meter stalls are 2.4 m (8 ft) by 7.3 m (24 It) with a minimum length of 6.1 m (20
It).
Guidance:
At all intersections, one stall length on each side measured from the crosswalk or end of curb return should have
parking prohibited. A clearance of 1.8 m (6 It) measured from the curb return should be provided at alleys and driveways.
At signalized intersections parking should be prohibited for a minimum of two stal.llengths on the near side and one
stall length on the far side. See Figure 38-18(CA).
Standard:
The departmental approval for the installation of the parking meters shall be covered by an encroachment
penmit.
Option:
Local authorities may by ordinance permit angle parking. Refer to CVC 22503.
Support:
Department of Transportation does not approve ordinances establishing angle parking on State highways.
Diagonal parking stalls are not pemnitled on State highways.
Section 3B.19 Pavement Word and Svmbol Markin!!s
Support:
Word and symbol markings on the pavement are used for the purpose of guiding, warning, or regulating I
traffic. Symbol messages are preferable to word messages. Examples of standard word and arroW pavement
markings are shown in Figures;m..;!G 3B-20(CA) and ~ 38-21 (CA).
Nomnally, pavement word and symbol markings supplement standard signing.
Standard:
Word and symbol markings shall be white, except as otherwise noted in this Section.
Guidance:
Letters and numerals should be 1.8 m (li ft) 2.44 m (8 It) or more in height.
Word and symbol markings should not exceed three lines of information.
If a pavement marking word message consists of more than one line of information, it should read in the
direction of travel. The first word of the message should be nearest to the road user.
Except for the two opposing arrows of a two-way left-turn lane marking (see Figure 3B-7), the
longitudinal space between word or symbol message markings, including arrow markings, should be at least
four times the height of the characters for low-speed roads, but not more than ten times the height of the
characters under any conditions.
The number of different word and symbol markings used should be minimized to provide effective
guidance and avoid rnisunderstanding.
Except as noted in the Option, pavement word and symbol markings should be no more than one lane in
width.

suggested, but to the relative scale.
Standard:
The International Symbol of Accessibility parking space markings may shall be placed in each
parking space designated for use by persons with disabilities. A blue background with white border
may shall supplement the wheelchair symbol as shown in Figure JB-l9 3B-19(CA).
If used, new construction of accessible off-street parking spaces, and, loading and unloading areas shall
include pavement marking details shown on Figure 3B-19 (CA), or as shown on the Department's Revised
Standard Plan A90A. The loading and unloading area shall be marked by a border and hatched lines. The border
shall be painted blue and the hatched lines shall be painted a suitable contrasting color to the parking space
(blue or white paint is preferred).
If used, new construction of accessible on-street parking shall include a blue painted curb, as shown on the
Department's Revised Standard Plan A90B. If on-street parking designated and designed for persons with
disabilities includes a loading and unloading area, it shall be marked by a border and hatched lines. The border
shall be painted blue and the hatched lines shall be painted a suitable contrasting color to the parking space
(blue or white paint is preferred).
Loading and unloading areas shall include the words "NO PARKING" within the blue border and shall be
painted in white letters no less than 0.3 m (12 in) high (See detail in Figure 3B-19 (CA)). Refer to California Code
of Regulations Title 24, Section 1129B.4.
Standard:
Where through traffic lanes approaching an intersection become mandatory torn lanes, lane-use
arrow markings (see Figure ~ 3B.21(CA)) shall be used and shall be accompanied by standard
signs.
Lane use, lane reduction, and wrong-way arrow markings shall be designed as shown in Figure
~ 3B-21 (CA).
Guidance:
Where through lanes become mandatory turn lanes, signs or markings should be repeated as necessary to
prevent entrapment and to help the road user select the appropriate lane in advance of reaching a queue of
waiting vehicles.
Option:
Lane-use arrow markings (see Figure ~ 3B-21 (CA)) may be used to convey either guidance or I
mandatory messages. The ONLY word marking (see Figure ~ 3B-20(CA)) may be used to supplement
lane-use arrow markings (see Figure 3B-22).
In situations where a lane reduction transition occurs, the lane reduction arrow markings shown in Figure
~ 3B-21(CA) may be used.
Guidance:
Where crossroad channelization or ramp geometries do not make wrong-way movements difficult, a I
lane-use arrow should be placed in each lane of an exit ramp near the crossroad terminal where it will be
clearly visible to a potential wrong-way road user (see Figure ~ 3B-23(CA)).

Option:
The wrong-way arrow markings shown in Figure ~ 3B-21 (CA) may be placed near the downstream I
terminus of a ramp as shown in Figures ~ 3B-23(CA) aBQ 3B 21 to indicate the correct direction of traffic
flow and to discourage drivers from traveling in the wrong direction.
A yield-ahead triangle symbol or YIELD AHEAD word pavement marking may be used on approaches
to intersections where the approaching traffic will encounter a YIELD sign at the intersection (see Figure 3B-
25).
Support:
Lane-use arrow markings are often used to provide guidance in turn bays (see Figure 3B-22), where
turns mayor may not be mandatory, and in two-way left-turn lanes (see Figure 3B-7).
Arrows:
Standard:
Where a turning movement is mandatory, an arrow marking accompanied by a regulatory sign shall be
used. However, when an additional clearly marked lane is provided for the approach to the turning movement,
the sign is not required. Refer to eve 22101.
Support:
Examples of entrance/exit ramp terminal signs and pavement markings are shown in Figure 3B-23(CA).
Guidance:
The Type V arrows and warning signs, as shown in Figure 3B-104(CA), should be used at locations where motorists
could perceive that they are on a one-way roadway when, in fact, they are on a two lane, two-way highway. Following
are some typical situations:
. Construction sites where a two-lane highway is being converted to a freeway or an expressway.
. Two-lane, two-way highways where ultimate freeway or expressway right-of-way has been purchased and
grading for the full width has been completed.
. Two-lane, two-way highways following long sections of multi-lane freeway or expressway.
Exit Ramo Arrows:
Standard:
A minimum of two pavement arrows shall be placed on each freeway exit ramp lane,
A Type V arrow shall be the first arrow, on the ramp, in the direction of travel when exiting the freeway.
Where a mandatory movement is required, a Type I, II, III, IV, VII, or VIII arrow shall be placed with its point
approximately 6.10 m (20 ft) preceding the limit line, crosswalk or "STOP" pavement legend. Where no
mandatory movement is required, a Type V arrow shall be used at this location.
All other additional arrows, when used, shall be a minimum of 7.32 m (24 ft) in length.
All arrows shall be placed in the center of the lane and spaced approximately 30 m (100 ft) to 90 m (300 ft)
apart,
Guidance:
The actual position and spacing should be determined in the field to provide the optimum visibility for traffic that may
attempt to enter the exit ramp in the wrong direction.

Support:
A speed measurement marking is a transverse marking placed on the roadway to assist the enforcement
of speed regulations.
Standard:
Speed measurement markings, if used, shall be white, and shall not be greater than 600 mm (24 in)
in width.
Option:
Speed measurement markings may extend 600 rom (24 in) on either side of the centerline or 600 rom (24
in) on either side of edge line markings at 400 m (0.25 mil intervals over a 1.6 km (I mil length of roadway.
When paved shoulders of sufficient width are available, the speed measurements markings may be placed
entirely on these shoulders. Advisory signs may be used in conjunction with these markings (see Figure 3B
.w 38-1 05(CA)).
Support:
The California Highway Patrol patrols certain highways with both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The purpose of
the patrol is to monitor traffic, provide motorist assistance and initiate appropriate enforcement action.
In order to make the air patrol effective, the California Highway Patrol and Department of Transportation have
agreed upon markings and signs as shown in Figure 38-105(CA).
Option:
Speed measurement markings may be placed on the right shoulder in areas patrolled by aircraft as requested by the
California Highway Patrol.
Standard:
Where there is an equation of more than 30 m (100 ft) in a 1.6 km (1 mil posting, a white 'X' pavement
marking shall be placed at each end of the section to indicate the markings are less than 1.6 km (1 mil apart.
Guidance:
The SPEED ENFORCED BY AIRCRAFT (R48-2(CA)) sign should be used for both directions of travel and should
be spaced at 40 km (25 mil intervals.
Pavement marking should be placed on the shoulder in one direction only, except where the opposing roadway is
widely separated.
Option:
In areas where identifying features are widely separated, white 0.91 m (3 ft) high post kilometer (mile) numbers may
be placed at 8 krn (5 mil points where needed for aircraft reference.
Standard:

Support:
Since yellow and white curb markings are frequently used for curb delineation and visibility, it is
advisable to establish parking regulations through the installation of standard signs (see Sections 2B.39
through 2B.41).
Where the curbs ofthe islands become parallel to the direction of traffic flow, it is not necessary to mark
the curbs unless an engineering study indicates the need for this type of delineation.
Curbs at openings in a continuous median island need not be marked unless an engineering study
indicates the need for this type of marking.
Support:
Refer to Section 28.39 for Parking Regulations.
In California, curb markings are not used for delineating traffic. They are mainly used for parking regulations.
Standard:
The color of curb markings shall conform to eve 21458 quoted below:
(a) Whenever local authorities enact local parking regulations and indicate them by the use of paint upon
curbs, the following colors only shall be used, and the colors indicate as follows:
(1) Red indicates no stopping, standing, or parking, whether the vehicle is attended or unattended,
except that a bus may stop in a red zone marked or sign posted as a bus loading zone.
(2) Yellow indicates stopping only for the purpose of loading or unloading passengers or freight for the
time as may be specified by local ordinance.
(3) White indicates stopping for either of the following purposes:
(A) Loading or unloading of passengers for the time as may be specified by local ordinance.
(B) Depositing mail in an adjacent mailbox.
(4) Green indicates time limit parking specified by local ordinance.
(5) Blue indicates parking limited exclusively to the vehicles of disabled persons and disabled veterans.
(b) Regulations adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be effective on days and during hours or times as
prescribed by local ordinances.
Parking regulations shall be covered by ordinance or order of the authority having jurisdiction over the
street or highway.
Option:
Curb markings may supplement standard signs.
Prohibitions or restrictions enacted by local authorities under Sections 22506 or 22507 may be indicated by marking
curbs as prescribed by CVC Section 21458.

lane markings shall be used.
Signs or signals shall be used with preferential lane word or symbol markings.
All preferential lane word and symbol markings shall be wbite.
All preferential lane word and symbol markings shall be positioned laterally in the center of the
preferred-use lane.
Support:
Preferential lanes identity a wide variety of special uses, including, but not limited to, high-occupancy
vehicle (HOV) lanes, bicycle lanes, bus only lanes, taxi only lanes, and light rail transit only.
Standard:
Where a preferential lane use is established, the preferential lane shall be marked with one or
more of the following symbol or word markings for the preferential lane use specified:
A. HOV lane-the preferential lane use marking for high-occupancy vehicle lanes shall consist of
white lines formed in a diamond shape symbol or the word message HOV. The diamond shall be
at least 0.75 m (2.5 ft) wide and 3.7 m (12 ft) in length. The lines shall be at least 150 mm (6 in)
in width.
B. Bicycle lane-the preferential lane use marking for a bicycle lane shall consist of a bicycle
symbol or the word marking BIKE LANE (see Chapter 9C and Figures 9C-l and 9C-3 through
9C-6).
C. Bus only lane-the preferential lane use marking for a bus only lane shall consist of the word
marking BUS ONLY.
D. Taxi only lane-the preferential lane use marking for a taxi only lane shall consist of the word
marking TAXI ONLY.
E. Light rail transit lane-the preferential lane use marking for a light rail transit lane shall
consist of the letter T.
F. Other preferential lane use markings shall be identified in accordance with Section 3B.23.
If two or more preferential lane uses are permitted in a single lane, the symbol or word marking
for each preferential lane use shall be installed.
Guidance:
Engineering judgment should determine the need for supplemental devices such as lobular markers,
traffic cones, or flashing lights.
Support:
The spacing ofthe markings is an engineering judgment that is based on the prevailing speed, block
lengths, distance from intersections, and other factors that affect clear communication to the road user.
Markings spaced as close as 24 m (80 ft) apart might be appropriate on City streets, while markings spaced
31111 ill (1,111111 it) 150 m (500 fl) might be appropriate for freeways (Refer to HOV Guidelines) and 56 m (180 fl) for
onramps (Refer to Ramp Meter Design Manual). See Section 1A.11 for information regarding these publications.

High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes are lanes where usage is restricted to a class of vehicle occupancy. HOV lane
assignments could be made on a full-time or part time basis. Freeway mainline HOV lanes can be operated as physically
separated, buffer separated, reversible, contiguous, or as contra-flow facilities. HOV lanes can also be operated on
county roads or city streets.
The HOV lane symbol (diamond shape) is shown in Figure 3B-106(CA).
Section 3B.23 Preferential Lane LODlrltudinal Markin!!s for Motor Vehicles
Standard:
Preferential lane longitudinal markings for motor vehicles shall be marked with the appropriate
word or symbol pavement markings in accordance with Section 3B.22.
Support:
Preferential lanes can take many forms depending on the level of usage and the design of the facility.
They rnight be physicalIy separated from the other travel lanes by a barrier, median, or painted neutral area,
or they rnight be concurrent with other travel lanes and be separated only by longitudinal pavement
markings. Further, physically separated preferential lanes might operate in the same direction or be
reversible.
Option:
Preferential lanes may be operated either fulI-time (24 hours per day on all days), for extended periods of
the day, or part-time (restricted usage during specific hours on specified days).
Standard:
The folIowing four items are presented in tabnlar form in Table ~ 3B-2(CA}: I
A. Physically separated, nonreversible preferentiallane-,-the longitudinal pavement markings for
preferential lanes that are physically separated from the other travel lanes by a barrier,
median, or painted nentral area shall consist of a single normal solid yellow line at the left edge
of the travellane(s), a single normal solid white line at the right edge of the travellane(s), and if
there are two or more preferential lanes, the preferential travel lanes sball be separated with a
normal broken white line (see Figure 3B-26a).
B. Physically separated, reversible preferentiallane-,-the longitudinal pavement markings for
reversible preferential lanes that are physically separated from the other travel lanes by a
barrier, median, or painted neutral area shall consist of a single normal solid white line at both
edges ofthe travellane(s), and if there are two or more preferential lanes, the preferential travel
lanes shall be separated with a normal broken white line (see Figure 3B-26a).
C. Concurrent flow (left side) preferentiallane-,-the longitudinal pavement markings for a full-
time or part-time preferential lane on the left side of the other traveled lanes shall consist of a
single normal solid yellow line at the left edge of the preferential travellane(s) and one ofthe
following at the right edge ofthe preferential travellane(s):
1.... double solid wide wltite line where eros.lug is prohibited (see Figure JB 2(;b). I
2. A single solid wide white line where crossing is discouraged (see Figure 3B-26c).
3. A single broken wide white line where crossing is permitted (see Figure 3B-26d) at
ingress/egress segments for physically separated full-time preferential lanes.
4. A single broken 100 mm (4 in) white line where crossing is permitted on preferential lanes that operate
for only certain periods of the day. In these cases, markings shall conform to the purpose the lane
serves a majority of the time.
If there are two or more preferential lanes, the preferential travel lanes shall be separated with
a normal broken white line.

Support:
The striping pattern for the lane lines between the HOV lane and the adjacent normal flow lanes will vary depending
on the condition. See Department of Transportation's High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Guidelines and Ramp Meter
Design Manual for the appropriate HOV lane line striping patterns and markings. See Section 1A.11 for information
regarding these publications.
Section 3B.24 Markin!!s for Roundabout Intersections
Support:
Roundabout intersections are distinctive circular roadways that have the following three critical
characteristics:
A. A requirement to yield at entry which gives a vehicle on the circular roadway the right-of-way;
B. A deflection ofthe approaching vehicle around the central island; and
C. A flare or widening of the approach to allow for proper operation as needed.
Examples of markings for roundabout intersections are shown in Figures 3B-27 and 3B-28.
Option:
A yellow edge line may be placed around the inner (left) edge of the circular roadway.
Guidance:
A white line should be used on the outer (right) side of the circular roadway as follows: a solid line along
the splitter island and a dotted line across the lane(s) entering the roundabout intersection.
Edge line extensions should not be placed across the exits from the circular roadway.
Where crosswalk markings are used, these markings should be located a minimum of7.6 m (25 ft)
upstream from the yield line, or, if none, from the dotted white line.
Option:
Lane lines may be used on the circular roadway if there is more than one lane.
A yield line (see Section 3B.16) may be used to indicate the point behind which vehicles are required to
yield at the entrance to a roundabout intersection.
Standard:
Bicycle lane markings shall not be provided on the circular roadway of a roundabout intersection.

Support:
Other circular intersections include but are not limited to rotaries, traffic circles, and residential traffic
calming desigos.
Option:
The markings shown in Figures 3B-27 and 3B-28 may be used at other circular intersections when
engineering judgment indicates that their presence will benefit drivers or pedestrians.
Section 38.26 Speed Hump Markin!!s
Standard:
If used, speed hump markings shall be a series of white markings placed on a speed hump to
identify its location.
Option:
Speed humps, except those used for crosswalks, may be marked in accordance with Figure 3B-29. The
markings shown in Figure 3B-30 may be used where the speed hump also functions as a crosswalk or speed
table.
Support:

I
Section 38.27 Advance Speed Homp Markin!!s
Standard:
If used, advance speed hump markings shall be a special white marking placed in advance of speed
humps or other engineered vertical roadway deflections such as dips.
Option:
Advaoce speed hump markings may be used in advaoce of ao engineered vertical roadway deflection
where added visibility is desired or where such deflection is not expected (see Figure 3B-31).
Advaoce pavement wording such as BUMP or HUMP (see Section 3B.19) maybe used on the approach
to a speed hump either alone or in conjunction with advance speed hump markings. Appropriate advaoce
warning sigos may be used in conformance with Section 2C.24.
Guidance:
If used, advance speed hump markings should be installed in each approach lane.
Section 3B.101(CA} DiaQonal and Chevron MarkinQs
Guidance:
Diagonal and chevron markings should be used, when in the opinion of an engineer, it is necessary to add emphasis
or to discourage vehicular travel upon a paint formed roadway feature such as an unusually wide shoulder area, a
pedestrian refuge island, or a traffic divisional or channelization island.
Diagonal lines, when used, should be installed between an edge line and traffic island, or between pairs of double
yellow lines.
Chevron markings, when used, should be installed between channelizing lines for traffic flows in the same direction.
Support:
The applicable channelizing lines for chevron markings are shown in Figure 3A-110(CA), Details 36, 36A and 36B
and pairs of lines shown in Figure 3A-112(CA), Details 38 and 38A.
The diagonal lines or chevron markings are normally 300 mm (12 in) wide.
Standard:
Diagonal lines and chevrons shall be the same color as the line or lines to which they connect and shall
point at a 45-degree forward angle.
Diagonal lines or chevrons, if used, shall be the same color as the edge line.

Section 3B.l06(CA) Rumble Strips
Support:
Rumble strips are bands at raised material or indentations tonned or ground into the traveled way, on the centerline
or shoulders. Rumble strips call the motorisfs attention to standard warning or regulatory devices or otherwise alert
drivers by transmitting sound and/or vibration through the vehicle.

Part 3 - Markings
January 21, 2010
California MUTCD
(FHWA's MUTCD 2003 including Revisionsl and 2, as amended for use in California)
Page 3B-27
Option:
Rumble strips may be used in the traveled way on California's streets and highways if the traffic engineer considers
their use as the optimal solution to the identified problem.
Rumble strips may be used upstream of stop-controlled or signalized intersections if one or more of the following
conditions exist:
. Engineering judgment indicates a special need due to sight distance restriction.
. High approach speeds.
. History of Ran-Stop-Sign crashes.
Guidance:
The use of rumble strips on State highways should be reviewed by the Department of Transportation's District
Traffic Engineer or their representative.
Option:
Rumble strips may be incorporated into rehabilitation projects to replace existing rumble strips without an extensive
review.
Guidance:
Requests should include a description of location, reasons for use, the altematives which were considered, collision
history and a discussion of standard traffic control devices which have been or are in place.
Traveled Wav Rumble StriDS:
Support:
Rumble strips on the traveled way are 19 mm (0.75 in) or less in height if raised or 25 mm (1 in) or less in depth if
rolled-in indentations, 8.5 mm (0.33 in) +1- 1.5 mm (0.06 in) if ground-in indentations and generally extend across the
travel lanes.
A ground in rumble strip with the dimensions shown above has been field reviewed to confirm rideability for
bicyclists & motorcyclists.
There are several significant disadvantages to the use of rumble strips across the travel lanes. These include:
. An abrupt rise in the roadway can present problems to bicyclists and motorcyclists. For this reason, there
should be provisions made for cyclists to safely traverse through or around raised rumble strips.
. Nearby residents may be subjected to noise.
T ypicallocations where rumble strips on the traveled way have been used include:
. End of a freeway.
. In advance of toll booths.
. Within a construction zone in advance of the workers.
. In advance of a '1" Intersection where the motorist is not expecting to stop.
Shoulder Rumble StriDS:
Support:
Shoulder rumble strips are 19 mm (0.75 in) or less in height if raised 25 mm (1 in) in depth for rolled-in indentations
and 8.5 mm (0.33 in) +1-1.5 mm (0.06 in) for ground-in indentations that extend along the highway shoulder. The
maximum width of shoulder rumble strips is 300 mm (12 in) for both rolled-in and ground-in indentations.
Guidance:
Where bicycles are permitted, shoulder rumble strips should not be used unless approximately 1.5 m (5 ft) of clear
shoulder width for bicycle use is available between the rumble strips and the outer edge of the shoulder.
Standard:
Ground-in rumble strip treatments that are greater than 8.5 mm (0.33 in) +/-1.5 mm (0.06 in) depth shall not
be installed on shoulders where bicyclists are allowed.
Option:
Research findings indicate that the use of rumble strips on shoulders of freeways in remote areas may reduce drift-
off-road collisions. Drifting off the road is most likely to be a problem on freeways with few interchanges and long
tangents. Rumble strips may be used on other roadway types as well to address drift off roadway collisions at locations
where they are a concern. The rumble strips may consist of grooves rolled into the hot mix as part of a resurfacing
project, ground-in indentation in Portland Concrete Cement or Asphalt Concrete in existing roadway shoulders, or the
application of a raised and inverted profile thermoplastic.

California MUTCD
(FHW A's MUTCD 2003 including Revisionsl and 2, as amended for use in California)
Page 3B-28
Guidance:
When roadways in remote areas are to be resurfaced, consideration should be given to the drift-off-road problem
and the use of rumble strips considered.
Option:
Table 3B-101{CA) may be used by the District Traffic Engineer as a guide to detenmine the appropriate rumble strip
treatment for various shoulder types.
Centerline Rumble Strips:
Support:
Centerline rumble strips are currenijy being used experimentally at 2 and 3 lane locations in California and across
the nation as a tool to address drift across the centerline collisions.
Option:
The District Traffic Engineer may consider the use of centerline rumble strips with other considerations as a means
of addressing drift across the centerline collisions.
