Speed Limit Setting Practices Marlon Aumentado, Assistant Engineer gave a presentation on speed limit setting practices. Chair Wolf asked if the 85-percentile rule applied to every street in the City of Cupertino. Mr. Aumentado answered that not every roadway had to be determined. For example, there were areas where the speed limit was already implied, like a local residential area was already designated as a 25 mile per hour (MPH) zone. This was what was called prima facie speed, an area where the speed limit was set as a default. For example, the prima facie speed for an alley 2 Bicycle Pedestrian Commission Regular Meeting September 20,2023 5 BPC 10-18-2023 6 of 40 way was 15 MPH. City Council had to adopt an ordinance to designate prima facie roadways speeds outside of residential areas. Commissioner John asked about school zones. Mr. Aumentado sited the example of the City of San Francisco: they implemented 15 MPH school zones based off a previous Assembly Bill and designated 20 MPH zones around senior facilities. This needed to be established by local council's by means of local city ordinances. Chair Wolf noted that a lot of streets did not have speed postings and he wanted to know the prima facie speed for those neighborhoods. Mr. Aumentado said it was 25 MPH; anywhere the speed limit was not posted it was 25 MPH, generally. Chair Wolf observed areas where road lanes were wide and straight. Vehicles drove at speeds around 50-55 MPH in those areas at times. He suggested a correlation between the design of a street and the high speed. Mr. Aumentado replied that engineers looked at the 85-percentile, which included traffic data study, and it was found that the majority were not going 50-55 mph. There were other things engineers were able to do to lower speeds. It was not recommended to lower the speed so much that people continually fought traffic citations. Chair Wolf inquired about the reason Assembly Bill (AB) 43 passed, he wanted to know if it was because of Vision Zero. Mr. Aumentado replied that it was a combination of things. For example, AB 43 was connected to a task force in 2018 that helped get the bill signed in 2021. Then AB 1938 came and added more definition to AB 43. Vice Chair Marcy understood speed limits were a trailing indicator of the way the infrastructure was built in the City because if there were a lot of traffic calming devices, the average speed tended to be lower. He asked if the City was willing to implement infrastructure that encouraged drivers to drive slower. The indicator was interesting because where there was a problem with speed, it needed to be tackled with infrastructure first. Mr. Aumentado replied that a change in infrastructure was not the City's initial response to tackle speeding. Commissioner Zhao had a question related to what came first, infrastructure or speed limits and asked if the determining factor was always based off what the current condition was or were engineers looking at what was anticipated to be built. For example, regarding De Anza Boulevard, there were going to be buffered bike lanes installed, was it possible to preemptively adjust the speed limit there. Mr. Aumentado replied that speed surveys were performed based off the existing conditions of the roadway in question, but added that when the roadway conditions change, the City was able to reperform another speed survey to see what the new 85- percentile speed was. Commissioner Zhao inquired if there was any action needed for this item. Mr. Aumentado said it was just an Information Item,no action needed. Mr. Aumentado recanted what he was working on right now and said speed surveys were currently being studied on the roadways that Class 4 bike lanes were implemented on. This included McClellan Road from Imperial Avenue to Torre Avenue, Mary Avenue between Stevens Creek Boulevard and the Don Burnett Bridge, and Bubb Road between Stevens Creek 3 Bicycle Pedestrian Commission Regular Meeting September 20,2023 6 BPC 10-18-2023 7 of 40 Boulevard and McClellan Road. He noted from initial observations that a vehicle traveled at reduced speeds. A speed survey on Blaney Avenue was included as well; this was an item of interest for the public. Vice Chair Marcy asked if Rodriguez Avenue was included. Mr. Aumentado answered that was part of a separate study; David Stillman, Transportation Manager was working on that. Commissioner Zhao asked if Stevens Creek Boulevard was included. Mr. Aumentado stated that there was a possibility in the future, after Phase 2 of the Class IV bike lanes were implemented. Stevens Creek Boulevard was a little difficult because it was what was called principle arterial and funneling traffic efficiently through that area. Also, the City tries to be consistent with the speeds of adjacent agencies that share the same roadway. Vice Chair Marcy asked if the cables on the road were speed counters. Mr. Aumentado confirmed they were. Commissioner John wanted to know how long the speed counts were. Mr. Aumentado said over a two-week period. The speed surveys for the roadways were to be completed in December. He noted that if speeds were recommended in an area and Council approved the change, police officers gave a 60-day grace period for vehicles traveling on the roadway. Chair Wolf inquired how speed limit setting related to Vision Zero. He believed speeds needed to be looked at from a safety standpoint rather than the 85-percentile speed. Infrastructure determined the speed. Education worked to a point, but speed was more set by infrastructure. He sited the example of the cement bike buffers on McClellan Road. Once those were installed, he noticed a speed reduction. He struggled with how speed limits were set against safety issues for pedestrians and cyclists because speed was so important when related to injury. Mr. Aumentado communicated that the new Assembly Bill gave local agencies more flexibility to establish lower speed limits. This bill helped justify more of a lower speed reduction. Chair Wolf wondered how often the City updated their map showing fatalities and accidents throughout the City. Mr. Aumentado answered that the City pulled data from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITERS.) All accident history from the last five years was pulled from SWITERS. He explained it was advisable to pull at least the last five years of data because pulling beyond five years may not be useful. Vice Chair Marcy recalled mention of San Francisco's priority on improving crossings and reducing speeds. He wanted to know if that would be something the City implemented after they updated their Bicycle Pedestrian Plan. Mr. Aumentado said that fell under the umbrella of the Vision Zero strategy. NO ACTION TAKEN STAFF AND COMMISSION REPORTS 4. Staff Update and Commissioner Activity Report (All) Eric Lindskog gave a presentation on the VTA BPAC. 4 Bicycle Pedestrian Commission Regular Meeting September 20,2023 7 BPC 10-18-2023 8 of 40 Commissioner John said she was getting a prompt to attend every Mayor's Meeting. Chair Wolf said the Mayor's Meeting will now be attended by the Chair, if not the Chair, then the Vice Chair. Every other meeting was to be on Zoom, the alternating in-person. Marlon Aumentado, Assistant Engineer asked who directed Chair Wolf to attend the Mayor's meeting. Chair Wolf answered Debra Nascimento, Executive Assistant to the City Manager. Chair Wolf planned on taking the next Mayor's meeting on November 8. The back up was the Vice Chair, and if not the Vice Chair, then a Commissioner. Commissioner Zhao agreed to be backup. Chair Wolf announced the next Vision Zero meeting was on October 4. Mr. Aumentado repeated there will be a Vision Zero meeting on October 4, and a Vision Zero Stakeholder Meeting on September 28. He requested a volunteer to attend the Stakeholder Meeting. Mr. Aumentado thought it was during the day but said he would check. He added that the meeting was going to be on Zoom. Commissioner Zhao said he could go if it was after 3 p.m. Chair Wolf said he was available if Commissioner Zhao was not able. Mr. Aumentado said there was a Stevens Creek Corridor Vision Study meeting next Wednesday, September 27. The Public Works Department were getting a lot of notices regarding safety issues at two specific intersections. One at Regnart Creek Trail at Blaney Avenue, the other at McClellan Road near Felton Way. An in-street-crosswalk sign/yield to pedestrian sign was added on that trail as a countermeasure until staff were able to look at further enhancements to help make the trail safer. Blaney Avenue was added to the speed survey to potentially lower speeds on Blaney Avenue between Stevens Creek Boulevard and Bollinger Road. Staff was also looking at installing chicanes on the trail, which hopefully slowed riders down as they entered the roadway upon exit of the trail. Rectangular rapid flashing beacons were installed at Felton Way as a safety measure as well. Vice Chair Marcy recalled a discussion at the last meeting about a raised crosswalk installation. Mr. Aumentado replied it was thought there was a conceptual design for that at Blaney Avenue but there was not;it was at East Estates Drive. Chair Wolf said the Bike Fest was a week from this Saturday. Commissioner Zhao said he planned on being there.

If after reviewing this document you have further questions, please email the CA MUTCD Editor at CAMUTCDgdot.ca.gov with the Subject heading "California Manual on Setting Speed Limits". General Questions 1. Q: Who is responsible for setting speed limits? A: The California Vehicle Code (CVC) 22349, Maximum Speed Limit, prescribes the speed limits in California. When speeds are to be lowered based on an Engineering and Traffic Survey(E&TS) on the State Highways, the District Traffic Engineer is charged with determining speed limits. On local roads, the local agency has this function. 2. Q: What justifies lowering the speed by 5 mph from the 851h percentile speed? A: An engineer using engineering judgment makes this determination and should be based on roadway collision history, geometrics,user type, and other factors as deemed appropriate by the engineer. 3. Q: How often are speed zones updated? A: Speed Zone Surveys are valid for 5 years and may be extended to 7 years if specific criteria on radar operator certification, equipment calibration, and training have been met. A survey may be extended to 10 years if the engineer determines all above criteria have been met and no significant changes in roadway or traffic conditions have occurred. 4. Q: What happens when an agency sets a speed limit to an arbitrarily low speed in order to appease a local neighborhood? A: When speed limits are lowered without an E&TS, with some exceptions, speeding violations issued to drivers may be thrown out in court. Exceptions include speed limits that are near schools, senior centers, or in business districts. 5. Q: What traffic conditions are necessary in order to conduct an E&TS? A: Dry road conditions, off-peak hour traffic under free-flow conditions on an average weekday is necessary in order to capture data for a valid E&TS. If vehicles are in a platoon, the first vehicle's speed is measured. 3/10/2015 19 ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES Join us to learn more about the Stevens Creek Corridor Vision Study focused on enhancing transportation options for a more multimodal-friendly and accessible corridor.

The State adopts fund projections every two years. Of these funds, 25% is directed to Caltrans' Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (ITIP) and 75% is directed to the Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPAs), Regional Transportation Improvement Programs (RTIP) based on county population and road mileage, and subject to north/south split. Projects in the ITIP are selected by Caltrans. RTIP are selected RTPAs. Both programs are subject to approval by the California Transportation Commission (CTC). w BPC 10-18-2023 32 of 40 2024 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP ) roj a ct I?raara in kn oant Ph min a Pro zrumbna & -Nloiu-onn!2 0. 1-i Central Bik av $B.jm I-2 8 -Volfe mterchange $6.04 TES 101 Fxpre&& Laues: Fl�--a:�e 4 $2.a 3 9M Tora1: S 1 ,.8 SM W N BPC 10-18-2023 33 of 40 Valley Transportation Plan 2050 Project List Development Asked VTA BPAC for possible projects W W BPC 10-18-2023 34 of 40 ValleyTransportationJ Plan 2050 Project List Development • Adopted goals: • Implement Faster, More Frequent, Safe, and Convenient Transit • Prioritize Active Transportation to Encourage Healthier Multimodal Options • Encourage Land Uses That Create Complete and Convenient Places • Address the Climate Emergency by Reducing Transportation Emissions • Support Equity in Transportation • Pursue Safe and Reliable Travel on Highways and Expressways W BPC 10-18-2023 35 of 40 VTA TRP Plan 2050 — Time line Y �' �7:�� if slF i '• Y ' Visioning ' DGcurnent VrA Bnord Development 1Ad-option Fr A frrgagement find Goan Set Proxcts: 41TP 2050 Document- Boord Considers * Reaching out to the Public - Develop Project � Write Pfau Chapters F+rraf Oocumerat ■ C�mr»arrYftybas� DevelopmentProcess Do Rno�floundof Adoptian .organizations , Propase Scoring Public Outreach (foodets& members) cdtedo City staff , Develop Engagement Fie[teeafj-Cfafs Strotegy for Project i tdent*Yrsionforthe Wan D€vElopment Develop and Realize Goats - Public O treoch for Projects IN PROGRESS w BPC 10-18-2023 36 of 40 VTA TRP Plan 2050 — Project Examples Projects in Previous Possible New Programmatic Plans Projects Categories ■ BARTSV Phase.
