Request for Installation of a Traffic Signal - Margarita Road at Paseo Brilliante
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Public/Traffic Satiety Commission review a request for installation of a traffic signal at the
intersection of Margarita Road and Paseo Brilliante.
BACKGROUND:
The City received a request from a member of the City of Temecula Planning Commission to consider
installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Margarita Road and Paseo Brilliante. This request was
made since the new Margarita Community Park adjacent to the Temecula Elementary School could attract
visitors from the residential neighborhood on the opposite side of Margarita Road at Paseo Brilliante.
The portion of Margarita Road between Moraga Road and Stonewood Road, is a 4-lane roadway with a
painted median and left-turn pockets. Paseo Brilliante is a residential collector street and is controlled by a
"Stop" sign at Margarita Road. The speed limit is posted at 45 MPH on this segment of Margarita Road.
There is an existing painted school crosswalk on Margarita Road west of Paseo Brilliante. The School District
provides adult crossing guards at this crosswalk (Paseo Brilliante) and at the signalized intersection of
Margarita Road and Moraga Road to assist the students crossing Margarita Road. The existing painted school
crosswalk at Paseo Brilliante is approximately 500 feet northwest of the signalized intersection of Margarita
Road and Moraga Road (Exhibit "B').
Staff has conducted a study to determine if this location meets the Caltrans requirements and guidelines for
installation of a traffic signal. According to the guidelines (Exhibit "D") a school crossing traffic signal is not
recommended since there is an existing controlled intersection less than 600 feet from the proposed signal
lt~cation.
At the October 8, 1998 meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission, the Commission recommended that
the City Council consider installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Margarita Road and Stonewood
Road. This intersection is approximately 1,000 feet northwest of the requested signal at Margarita Road and
Paseo Brilliante.
Similar situation currently exists at several locations where the park or school sites are on one side of the
roadway and the residential homes are on the opposite side. Some of these locations include Rancho Vista
Road near the Sports Park and Recreation Center, Meadows Parkway and Rancho Vista Road near Vintage
Hills Elementary School and Temecula Middle School, Pala Road at Muirfield near Pala Community Park,
La Serena Road near Veterans Park and the Winchester Creek Park on Margarita Road north of Rustic Glen
Drive.
It should be noted that Margarita Road is a major north-south corridor and there are currently eleven (11)
existing and eight (8) proposed traffic signals on Margarita Road within the City limits.
There are no reported accidents within a 12 month period in the vicinity of this intersection and the sight
distance is adequate.

Establishment of Passenger Loading Zone - East Side of Margarita Road between
Pauba Road and Rancho Vista Road
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Public/Traffic Sal~ty Conunission review a request to establish a passenger loading zone on the east
side of Margarita Road between Pauba Road and Rancho Vista Road in front of the Temecula Valley High
Schot)l.
BACKGROUND:
The City received two (2) requests to consider establishing a passenger loading zone at the above referenced
location to allow parents to drop off and pick up the high school students in a safe, legal and orderly manner.
Margarita Road between Pauba Road and Rancho Vista Road is a 4-lane divided roadway. The speed limit
is posted at 45 MPH on this segment of Margarita Road. Flashing beacons emphasizing the 25 MPH speed
limit when children present are also installed on Margarita Road in both directions. Curren~y, on-street
parking and stopping is prohibited on the west side of Margarita Road across from the high school between
6:00 AM and 3:00 PM. This restriction was established to eliminate the parents from dropping students on
the west side of Margarita Road which encouraged jay walking and an unsafe condition. However, parking
is currently allowed on a major portion of Margarita Road between Pauba Road and Rancho Vista Road in
front of the high school. Parking occurs on Margarita Road in front of the high school on a daily basis. This
on-street parking forces parents to either double park to drop off and pick up the students, or enter the high
school drop off area which is congested during these hours.
Since establishment of a passenger loading zone will prevent parking on Margarita Road in front of the high
sch<~l at all times, staff recommends that consideration be given to restricting the parking only during the drop
off and pick up times and allow parking to occur at other times for school facility and sport park users.
During our observations there were adequate parking spaces within the high school parking lots.

Traffic Manual
School Crossing Traffic Signals 10-06
10-06.1 Function of School Crossing Traffic
Signals
A traffic signal assigns intersection right-of-
way and promotes the orderly movement of
pedestrians and vehicles. However. improper
signal controls may lead to intentional violations,
unnecessary delays and traffic diversion to less
desirable alternate routes.
10-06.2 CriteriaforSchoolCrossingTrafficSignals
Occasionally it is necessary to install a traffic
signal to extend or create crossing gaps in the flow
of traffic on the "Suggested Route to School".
This is done when no other controlled crossing is
located within 181fm. School crossing traffic
signals shall be investigated when the warrants
noted in Chapter 9 of the State Traffic Manual are
met and when either of the following conditions is
fulfilled:
Urban Areas - 500 vehicles and 100 school
pedestrians for each of any two hours (not
necessarily consecutive) daily while
students are crossing to or from school: or
500 vehicles for each of any two hours
daily while students are crossing to or from
school and a total of 500 school pedestrians
during the entire day.
Rural Areas - 350 vehicles and 70 school
pedestrians for each of any two hours (not
necessarily consecutive) daily while
students are crossing to or from school; or
350 vehicles for each of any two hours (not
necessarily consecutive) daily while
students are crossing to or from school and
minimum total of 350 school pedestrians
during the entire day.
When the critical (851h percentlie) approach
speed exceeds 35 mph (56 km/h) or the sight
distance to the intersection is less than the required
stopping sight distance, rural criteria should be
applied.
The design of school crossing traffic signals
shall conform to Chapter 9 of the State Traffic
Manual and include the following considerations:
1. The signals shall be designed for full-time
operation.
Pedestrian signal faces of the International
Symbol type shall be installed at all marked
crosswalks at signalized intersections along
the "Suggested Route to School."
Non-intersection school pedestrian
crosswalk locations may be signalized
when justified.
If an intersection is signalized under this
guideline for school pedestrians, the entire
intersection shall be signalized.
School area traffic signals shall be traffic
actuated type with push buttons or other
detectors for pedestrians.
Traffic Manual SCHOOL AREA PEDESTRIAN SAFETY 10-15
Crossing Supervision 10-07
10-07.1 Types of Crossing Supervision
There are two types of school crossing
supervision:
Adult control of pedestrians and vehicles
with Adult Crossing Guards or police
officers.
2. Student control of only pedestrians with
School Safety Patrol.
Recommended practices for the organization,
operation and administration of Adult Crossing
Guards and Student Safety Patrols are given in
"SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD PROGRAMS"
and "SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL PROGRAM"
booklets.* Also, see below.
10-07.2 Adult Crossing Guards
Adult Crossing Guards may be assigned at
designated school crossings to assist elementary
school pedestrians at specified hours when going
to or from school. The following suggested policy
for their assignment applies only to crossings
serving elementary school pedestrians on the
"Suggested Route to School".
An Adult Crossing Guard should be considered
when:
1. Special situations make it necessary to
assist elementary school pedestrians in
crossing the street.
A change in the school crossing location is
being made, but prevailing conditions
require school crossing supervision until
the change is constructed and it is not
reasonable to install another form of traffic
control or technique for this period.
10-07.3 Criteria for Adult Crossing Guards
Adult Crossing Guards normally are assigned
where official supervision of elementary school
pedestrians is desirable while they cross a public
highway on the "Suggested Route to School",
and at least 40 elementary school pedestrians for
each of any two hours (not necessarily consecutive)
daily use the crossing while going to or from
school. Adult crossing guards may be used under
the following conditions:
1. At uncontrolled crossings where there is
no altemate controlled crossing within 180
m; and
In urban areas where the vehicular
traffic volume exceeds 350 during each
of any two hours (not necessarily
consecutive) in which 40 or more
school pedestrians cross daily while
going to or from school; or
In rural areas where the vehicular traf-
fic volume exceeds 300 during each of
any two hours (not necessarily con-
secutive) in which 30 or more school
pedestrians cross dally while going to
or from school.
Whenever the critical (851h pementile)
approach speed exceeds 40 mph (64
km/h), the guidelines for rural areas
should be applied.

10-07.4 Legal Authority and Program Funding for
Adult Crossing Guards
Cities and counties may designate local law
enforcement agencies, the governing board of any
school district or a county superintendent of schools
to recruit and assign adult crossing guards to
intersections that meet approved guidelines for
adult supervision.
There are various methods for funding a school
adult crossing guard program. One of these
methods is through the use of fines and forfeitures
received under the Penal Code. Disposition of
these fines and forfeitures is defined in Sections
42200 and 42201 of the California Vehicle Code.
An example of these dispositions by cities and
counties is as follows:
Disposition by cities (CVC 42200). Fines and
forfeitures received by cities and deposited
into a "Traffic Safety Fund" may he used to
pay the compensation of school crossing guards
who are not regular full-time members of the
police department of the city.
Disposition by county (CVC 42201). Fines
and forfeitures received by a county and
deposited in the road fund of the county may
be used to pay the compensation of school
crossing guards, and necessary equipment and
administrative costs. The board of supervisors
may adopt standards for crossing guards and
has final authority over the total cost of the
crossing guard program.
Another avenue of funding school adult crossing
guard programs is through the use of the "Crossing
Guard Maintenance District Act of 1974." This
act defines how a local agency may form districts
within which property and improvements may be
assessed to pay the costs and expenses of providing
school crossing guards. (Sections 55530-70 of the
Govemment Code).
10-07.5 Choice of Adult Crossing Guards
Adult crossing guards mu st understand children
and have the ability to gain the respect of the
children so that they respond to direction.
10-07.6 Uniform of Adult Crossing Guards
Adult crossing guards should be uniformed so
that motorists and pedestrians can recognize them
and respond to their signals. It is recommended
that their uniforms be distinctively different from
those wom by regular police officers.
During periods of twilight or darkness, adult
crossing guards should wear either reflectorized
material or reflectorized clothing.

POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY REPORT FOR September, 1998
The following report reflects Part One crimes, traffic enforcement and miscellaneous activity
occurring during September of 1998. Part One crime statistics are displayed by district within the
City, providing stable parameters for monitoring criminal activity, and aiding in planning police
resource deployment.
The Police Department issued 1209 traffic citations last month, which compares with 427 issued in
September of 1997. The number of citations issued increased significantly this month. Much of the
increase is due to a gridlock enforcement program at key intersections as well as enhanced
enforcement programs focusing on school zone violations at each of the thirteen schools in
Temecula.
The number of injury collisions increased while the number of non-injury accidents decreased this
month as compared to September of 1997. Temecula experienced no fatal traffic collisions in
September. Arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol increased significantly from
September of 1997. Robberies increased while felony assaults decreased compared to one year ago.
Reported burglaries and grant thefts increased while auto thefts decreased slightly when compared
to September 1997. The total number of arrests made during the month are lower than in the
previous year. This is due to a change in the way the number of arrests are reported and recapped.
The Police Department responded to thirty-six "priority one" calls for service during the month of
September, with an average response time of approximately four and a half minutes. A total of
2,959 calls for police service were generated in the City of Temecula during the month.
POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY
September, 1998
During the month of September, the Temecula Police Department's storefront served a total of 303
people. The number of citizens utilizing this facility was at an all time high this month and was the
first time to top 300 people. One hundred sixteen people were fingerprinted, nine people made
police reports, ten people had citations signed off and two solicitor's permits were issued. In
addition, five three-day parking permits were issued to residents pursuant to the oversize vehicle
ordinance.
Officer Fanene routinely provides public safety information to various community groups. During
the month of September, Officer Fanene, along with five Police Explorers provided a police unit
display and conducted child fingerprinting at Stadium Pizza.
Officer Fanene attended the California Crime Prevention Officer's Association seminar in
Sacramento. This seminar provides personnel with up to date information on the latest trends in
crime prevention as well as the opportunity to interface with other crime prevention officers from
throughout the state.
The POP Team of Officers Jeff Kubel and Steve Mike completed one TAG (Temecula Against
Graffiti) programs focusing on problem sites. A total of three citations were issued for non-
vandalism violations and twenty-seven pedestrians were contacted. This program has proven to be
successful as evidenced by the significant reduction in graffiti vandalism.
The POP Team also conducted a joint off-road vehicle enforcement program with the Murrieta
Police Department. This ongoing program focuses on illegal off roading within the city and
surrotmding areas. Programs focus on areas which have been identified as having problems with off
roaders either through citizen complaints or complaints from property owners. This month's
program resulted in the issuance of three citations and four warnings. The program has proven to
be successful as the team has had a steady decrease in the amount of citations issued and contacts
made with illegal off roaders.
Temecula Canine Officer Joey Nardone and his dog Hunter made a presentation and demonstration
at the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona. They also participated in their first two campus drag
detection searches at both Temecula Valley and Chaparral High Schools. We are pleased to say that
no narcotics were located at either campus. This program will continue at other campuses.
This month, School Resource Officers focused on violations of possession of tobacco products by
high school students. The program resulted in the issuance of seven citations for possession of
tobacco products.
POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY
September, 1998
School Resource Officers have also been busy preparing for a number of special programs associated
with anti-drug programs during the annual Red Ribbon Week, which is the last week of October.
Many special programs are planned and will be detailed in next months report.
Volunteers from the community continue to be an integral part of the Temecula Police Department's
staff. Under the guidance ofvolnnteer coordinator Ed Bekas, the Police Department's volunteer staff
contributed 481 hours of service in September. Three new volunteers were accepted into the
program during the month. Some of the duties volunteers assist with include logistics, telephone
answering, filing and computer entry and assistance with the TAG Program.
Another valuable volunteer resource available to the Police Department is provided by the reserve
officer program and mounted posse. The Police Department utilizes reserve officers to assist with
patrol, traffic enfomement, crime prevention and a variety of special functions. Reserve police
officers worked a total of 259 hours during the month. Of this time, 140 hours were spent on patrol
119 hours were spent assisting on special programs such as TAG and the off-road vehicle program.
The posse contributed a total of 234 hours during the month on various special functions including
a great deal of support with the off-road enforcement program.
