SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 2001 -
REVISING THE AMOUNT OF THE APPROPRIATION AND
BUDGET FOR TRAFFIC SIGNS [GAS TAX FUND 2605,
DIVISION 8310, OBJECT 93031 TO ACQUIRE
FLUORESCENT YELLOW -GREEN SCHOOL AREA TRAFFIC
SIGNS.
DISCUSSION:
A. Background:
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) ,
Millennium Edition, Dated December 2000, Part 7 -
Traffic Controls for School Areas, published by the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the U.S.
Department of Transportation approved the use of
fluorescent yellow -green background colors for school
traffic signs. The approval is for School Advance
Warning Signs, School Crosswalk Warning Signs, School
Bus Stop Ahead Warning Signs and School Plaque Signs.
According to the FHWA, the new color, fluorescent
green - yellow is much easier to see in low light and
foggy /rainy weather.
The FHWA guidance for installation warn that when the
fluorescent yellow -green background color is used, a
systematic approach featuring one background color
within a zone or area should be used. The mixing of
standard yellow and fluorescent yellow -green
backgrounds within a zone or area should be avoided.
B. Sign Maintenance:
The Public Works Department would like to start
replacing worn school signs with the more visible
fluorescent yellow -green signs. To avoid mixing signs
with different background colors it is recommended
that all school area traffic control signs are
replaced with the new highly visible fluorescent
yellow -green background signs. The current approved
budget is insufficient to allow the purchase of all
signs necessary for complete conversion.
C. COST ESTIMATE AND FUNDING
Replacement of all school area traffic control
signs will require a budget amendment in the
amount of $ 3,000 from the Gas Tax Fund.
The cost for citywide replacement of school
traffic signs (quantity based on a field survey)
is as follows:
