CITY OF SAN BERNOIDINO - REQUEST ~ COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The Traffic Engineering Section received several
complaints from residents in the area of Sierra Way between Base
Line Street and 40th Street, concerning traffic flow charac-
teristics along this street. The residents claim that they have
difficulty turning into their driveways. Motorists fre-quently
pass them on the right, while they are in the process of making a
right turn into their driveways.
An investigation, conducted by the Traffic Engineering
Staff, verified the resident's claims. The high curbs and narrow
driveway approaches along Sierra Way cause residents/motorists to
make wide turns into their homes. Taking advantage of the extra
wide lanes, motorists behind them, pass on the right creating a
potentially unsafe condition. This problem is compounded by the
fact that parking is not allowed on Sierra Way during peak
periods of traffic. To resolve this problem, staff recommends
that a continuous left-turn lane be installed along the road.
This action will narrow the through lanes, thereby discouraging
passing on the right. Left turns will also be much safer with
the installation of this lane by reducing the potential for rear-
end accidents.
Sierra Way, between Base Line Street and Highland Avenue,
has recently been resurfaced. Taking advantage of the situation,
the Traffic Engineering Section proceeded to paint the left-turn
lane. This action eliminated the need for the peak hour "No
Parking" zones.
The "No Parking" between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., appli-
cable to the west wide only, and the "No Parking" between the
hours of 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., applicable to the east side
only, were originally installed along this section of Sierra Way
in February of 1965. The apparent intention of the zones was to
encourage the use of Sierra Way as a 2-lane road in the direction
in which traffic is flowing at that time, southbound in the
morning, and northbound in the evening. However, the recent
complaints suggest that this arrangement is causing confusion.
We recommend that the "No

This issue was reviewed by the Traffic Safety Committee at
their August 12, 1992, meeting. The Committee concurred with the
findings of the Traffic Engineering Staff and, therefore,
recommends that the parking prohibitions be removed.
We recommend that approval be granted to delete the
parking restrictions.
