Traffic Safety Enhancements 1

Public Works is proposing implementing the following traffic safety measures from Zuma Ridge Fire Rd (near Encinal Canyon Rd) to one mile east of April Rd:

Road signage to assist drivers

Curve Advisory & Chevron Signage

to assist drivers with identifying changing road features.

Lane enhanser

Wider Edge Line, Centerline Rumble Strips, and Reflective Markers

to alert drivers if they’ve left their lane and help them avoid other vehicles, signs, guardrails, and other features.

Pavement markings to encourage speed reduction

Speed Reduction Pavement Markings

to encourage drivers to be aware of their speed and slow down.


Safety Benefits

Chevron Signs – 25% reduction in nighttime crashes, 16% reduction in non-intersection fatal and injury crashes.

Wider edge lines reduce non-intersection fatal and severe injury crashes up to 37% on rural 2-lane roads.

Speed Reduction Pavement Markings – Can reduce overall speeds downstream of curves up to 5 mph.
