From; John F. Knipe, Ass st.ant. city Engine
Date: January 10, 1990
Subject: U -TURN MOVEMENT AT THE SPRING ROAD -
NEW LOS ANGELES AVENUE INTERSECTION
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
rer
At the last Council meeting, the City Engineer was requested to
determine if there was enough clearance at the subject intersection
to allow northbound U -turn me cements . We have reviewed the signing
and striping plans for PD -•10 4 (Topa) and checked the striping at
the intersection. Although most passenger vehicles can safely
negotiate the U -turn mover - -nt large passenger vehicles may
encounter some difficulty,
Typically, 34 feet is the ma -imum required clearance between the
painted centerline and the curb in order for U -turns to be allowed
at an intersection. Per the project plans and field measurements,
only 32 feet is available. Therefore, due to this distance and
other difficulties noticed i, the field, the U -turn sign must be
replaced with a "No U -tux 7" sign. We have already begun
coordinating this; matter wit Caltrans.
If approved by Caltrans, thi sign replacement should occur when
the illuminated street name gns fT -r Spring Road are installed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file.
