Transportation Mini -Vision: By 2033, each resident and visitor will have safe, convenient
and efficient transportation options.
Backqround Analvsis
On June 12, 2014, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1266A establishing the current
posted speed zones in Palm Desert.
Section 22358 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) allows cities to establish, by
ordinance, speed zones on local streets. The speeds established by ordinance must be
supported by an Engineering and Traffic Study, and new speed studies must be
performed every five to seven years for a speed zone to remain valid (CVC 40802). The
necessity for the Engineering and Traffic Study is one of enforcement. Without the
support of a proper Engineering and Traffic Study, the enforcement agency is placed in
the position of being unable to use radar to enforce a posted speed, thus leading to blatant
disregard of posted speeds by the motoring public.

recommendations regarding posted speed zones. The recommendations will then be
presented to the City Council for adoption in the form of an ordinance. Staff expects to
return to the City Council with recommendations by June, 2020.
The City appropriately advertised a Request for Proposals for design services in August,
2019, and on October 1, 2019, two proposals were received:

developing meaningful traffic solutions for a wide range of
transportation issues to long-term planning for new

For 45 years, more than 3,500 satisfied clients have

Involved in more than 8,000 transportation projects
throughout California, and averages 240 new projects each
year. TJKM's primary service categories include
transportation planning, traffic operations, corridor studies,
traffic engineering design (including PS&E), intelligent
agencies in over 50 jurisdictions throughout California.
Each study segment in all of these projects were carefully
reviewed to meet the requirements of California state laws
for speed zones and radar enforcement. Past study
recommendations have been adopted by our municipal
clients keeping them in compliance with state law and
improving traffic safety in their communities.
In order to better conform to the standards established in
the FHWA MUTCD, and to address some of the
widespread disregard of the five mph special downward
speed zoning provision, the CA MUTCD revised the speed
zoning section to require rounding the 85th percentile to the
nearest five mph increment rather than the lower five mph
increment. This specific guideline revision has resulted in
raising certain street speed limits and has become a

Understanding of E&T5 Procedures
The California State Legislature sets in place the
regulations for California speed limits and the CVC places
enforcement purposes. Various jurisdictions have
responsibility for roadways throughout California, including
the responsibility to set speed limits on these roadways
according to the standards and procedures established by
Caltrans. The guidelines from the 2014 California Manual
for Setting Speed Limits published by Caltrans (May 9,
2014) are used in this study. These guidelines help in
establishing speed limits that are uniform throughout the
state and avoid influence from political pressure or
emotional perceptions. The purpose of this survey is to
evaluate the posted speed limits for 70 segments within the
City of Folsom and recommend speed limit changes, if any,
in accordance with State of California regulations and
guidelines.
TJKM's engineers are very familiar with the CA MUTCD
guidelines for setting speed limits, having most recently
prepared E&TS for the Cities of Gilroy, Marina, Hollister,
Rio Vista, Marina, San Bruno, Menlo Park, San Carlos,
Cupertino, Newark, El Cerrito, Los Altos, Pleasant Hill,
Orinda, San Leandro, Union City, Albany, and the Mountain
House Community Services District.
The 2014 Edition of the CA MUTCD requires as a standard
that a speed limit shall be established at the nearest five
these regulations into language used primarily for mph increment of the W, percentile speed, except that the
Page 6

approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer.
Section 213.13 of the 2014 CA MUTCD further states that
According to CVC 21400, for cases in which the nearest justification for reducing speed limits can be based on
five mph increment of the 85th percentile speed would
require rounding up, the speed limit may be rounded down

examples are provided to explain the application of these
speed limit criteria:
• If the 85th percentile speed in a speed survey for a
residential density, pedestrianibicyclist safety, and other

increment to the 37 mph speed. The 35 mph
established speed limit can be reduced by five mph to
30 mph if the conditions and justification for using this
lower speed limit are documented in the E&TS and
approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer.
If the 85th percentile speed in a speed survey for a
location was 33 mph, then the speed limit would be
established at 35 mph since it is the closest five mph
increment to the 33 mph speed. The 35 mph

highest number of data is recorded)
• Roadside development and environment
• Parking practices and bicycle/pedestrian activity
Reported crash experience for at least a 12-month

The setting of speed limits requires a rational and
defensible procedure to maintain the confidence of the
public and legal systems. Speed limit determinations rely
on the premise that a reasonable speed limit is one that

minutes of the meeting. In addition, we have budgeted up
to six in -person meetings with City staff. We will present at
up to three public meetings to present findings,
justifications, and recommendations presented in the final
report.
six in -person meeting with City staff; Up to three public
meetings and presentations
Key Staff: Chris Kinzel, Ian Lin, Praveena Samaleti
Task 2: Speed Data Collection & Field Review
The most crucial component of a speed zone survey is the
selection of locations for data collection. The prevailing
speed at the data collection point should be representative
of the entire speed zone segment and not too close to any
traffic control device. Our experience in other jurisdictions
suggests the following:
Locations should be situated beyond the influence of
stops, dips, curves, parked vehicles, and any other
condition that may affect the normal rate of travel.
The site should allow for the collection of data to occur
without drawing the attention of drivers.
• Short speed zone sections and locations near curves
should be avoided.
Speed surveys will be performed with a calibrated
handheld radar gun. Data will be collected from an
unmarked vehicle parked in an inconspicuous location on
the roadside. The calibrated radar gun will be checked
periodically with a tuning fork. Only free -flowing vehicles in
the traffic stream will be included in the survey to establish
Page 8
Proposal for Engineering & Traffic Survey Services_
for Establishment of Speed Zones Citywide
normal speed conditions. Radar data collected in the field
will be used to calculate the 5011 (the median speed) and
851" (Critical speed) percentile speeds, the 10 mph pace
speed (10 mph increment range), 15th percentile speed (at
or below 15 percent vehicle travel) the percent of vehicles
observed within the 10 mph pace speed, the range of
speeds observed, and standard deviation. We will also
include a skewness index calculation and review.
In addition, TJKM has budgeted to collect 24-hour
volumes counts for each survey segment for use in
calculating collision rates and in evaluating recommended
speed limits (See Task 4 for details).
Speed Data Analysis
The TJKM Team proposes to use the following measures
to collect reliable data:
A representative number of speeds will be Obtained by
radar and recorded at each location. Speed for a
minimum of 100 vehicles per direction at each location,
will be recorded in up to two hours during non -peak
hours. In no case will the data samples be less than 50
vehicles per approach. Radar and volumes counts will
be made on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays as
specified. However, TJKM sees no reason to avoid
Mondays and Fridays for the radar data collection.
Free -flowing vehicle speeds will be recorded. If several
vehicles are in a platoon, only the speed of the first
vehicle will be recorded.
TJKM will coordinate with City staff regarding location
and prevailing conditions prior to beginning of the data
collection activities.
In The speed survey will not be conducted in a
construction area, with or without traffic control
devices, or in an area with abnormal topography,
visibility concerns, or hazards and inclement weather.
• Other field data will include reference of cross streets,
weather conditions, survey time periods, etc. Special
events, or conditions that could influence speeds, will
be noted.
Detailed Field Audit
A field check will involve a professional traffic engineer
driving each street while "floating" with prevailing traffic to
determine the speed of traffic from the driver's viewpoint.
The engineer will evaluate the appropriateness of the 85th
percentile and will add the perspective of human judgment
to set the appropriate speed limit. The final recommended
limit will be determined by such factors as prevailing
speeds and volumes; roadside development; the number
and location of driveways; parked vehicles; emergency

Collision History Review & Accident Rate Calculations
Collision history is very important in speed limit
establishment, and it is vital to become fully aware of
collision histories, problems, and distributions. TJKM will
review collision history for each roadway segment for the
last three years. The collision information can be obtained
from the collision logs of the California Statewide Integrated
Traffic Records System (SWITRS) or directly from the City.
TJKM has access to the SWITRS data for the past 10 years
(minimum of three years) and will be able to use data for
this study efficiently. This will ensure that the collision

COMMITMENT
Our proposed team members will be made available to the
City of Palm Desert as needed for the duration of the
contract, and will not be substituted without approval from
the City.
The TJKM Team has a track record of devising schedules rl��
that meet project objectives, and then maintaining these
schedules, even when faced with changing project
priorities, unforeseen conditions or lack of public
consensus. We develop project schedules in coordination
with the City staff, providing the client with the opportunity
to arrange the resources needed to conduct timely
technical reviews of the design documents and the
technical/environmental studies that will be required
Cost Control: Control of project costs will be accomplished
by monitoring on a task level basis. This detailed task level
will roll up into milestone summaries and a project
summary. Our cost accounting system is a "live" database
that the project manager can access to determine the
financial status of the project at any time. Cost control
reporting to TJKM's Project Manager will be implemented
through the invoicing process. Progress reports will also be
throughout the project. A regularly updated schedule allows included to relay information on project progress and
critical issues.

also be monitored by percent complete for each task.
QAJQC Procedures: TJKM's QA Procedures are utilized
throughout the life of the Project. QC starts at the proposal
and scope definition stage and continues through the
completion of all assignments. To assure that errors,
omissions and ambiguities in submittals and drawings are
limited to an absolute minimum, the responsibilities for
technical review, peer review/coordination checking, and
technical audit functions are assigned to the appropriate
TJKM Team members. TJKM's approach integrates the
work of our subconsultants into the quality control system
through the use of established procedures and our peer
review/independent checking capability augmented with
technical audits.
Quality Control (QC): TJKM's QC Program provides

ensures that TJKM will receive thorough and accurate
reports that are prepared in formats consistent with local
agency and Caltrans guidelines.
POTENTIAL
TJKM approaches this project strongly confident in our
ability to provide speed zone recommendations that will
satisfy any concerns of the City staff, its residents and the
City Council. In many cities, the typical issues that arise are
on local residential collector streets that have fairly high
volumes and speeds. The way the rules now work, if the
85th percentile is 33 mph or above, it is almost impossible
to satisfy the state guidelines and still recommend a 25 mph
speed limit usually preferred by the residents. In some
cities, this has produced conflicts between speed limits that
