NEW BUSINESS
1. TRAFFIC STUDY RECCOMENDATIONS FOR CHELSEA LANE & YARMOUTH INTERSECTION
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Traffic Safety Committee forward a recommendation to the City Council approving installation of all-way stop control at the intersection of Yarmouth Road and Chelsea Road in accordance with the Palos Verdes Estates Municipal Code and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). Residents submitted a traffic calming request citing high vehicle speeds along Yarmouth Road, limited sight distance due to parking and landscaping, and difficulty for pedestrians crossing the intersection, which serves a residential neighborhood and a pedestrian route to Palos Verdes High School. An engineering study was conducted consistent with CA MUTCD requirements, including traffic counts, speed surveys, collision history review, and sight-distance evaluation. Although traffic volumes and collision history did not meet CA MUTCD warrants, the intersection satisfies the warrant related to restricted sight distance, supporting all-way stop installation. If approved, the work would include placement of two additional stop signs, associated warning signs, pavement markings, striping improvements, and public notification.
