CITY OF SAN BERNAINO - REQUEST FC COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The Traffic Engineering Section received a request to
install a 2-way stop at the intersection of Macy Street and
Walnut Street. Residents of this area raised concerns of
speeding vehicles, and felt that a 4-way stop would slow vehicles
down. Although the intersection did not meet warrants for a 4-
way stop, the section of Macy Street between Mill Street and
Rialto Avenue was evaluated.
The study conducted by the Traffic Engineering Section and
presented to the Traffic Safety Committee at their December 9 ,
1992, meeting found the following:
Critical speed (85th percentile) is 42 miles per hour.
° Area between Walnut Street and Chatka Lane meets
criteria for a prima facie 25 mile per hour speed limit.
° Stop signs are in place on the west bound approaches to
Macy Street' s intersections with Walnut Street and
Chatka Lane. The signs were installed when the streets
were recently built, however, these were not formally
approved by the Mayor and Council.
Based on this information, the Traffic Safety Committee
recommended the following:
° Install 25 mile per hour speed limit signs. These signs
are not necessary in order to enforce the 25 m.p.h.
speed limit, however, in view of the higher than normal
critical speed, the Committee felt it necessary to
remind motorists of the speed limit.
° Declare Macy Street a through highway, thereby allowing
the installation of stop signs on the side street
approaches.
The 25 mile per hour speed limit signs have already been
installed as this action does not require Council action.
Staff recommends that the attached resolution be adopted.
