Approval of Minutes
The Minutes of the February 27, 1984 Meeting were approved as presented.
Jefferson and Marron - El Camino Real and Camino Vida Roble -
Palomar Airport Road and Yarrow -- Request for left-turn phasing.
The Committee recommended installing the protected left-turn phasing at each location as soon as funding is available. The Committee also recommended that future signals should have the capability of left-turn phasing.
Corintia and Unicornio -- Request to change yield signs to
stop signs.
Since the sight distance at this location is very limited, the Committee recommended to replace the existing yield signs on Unicornio with stop signs.
Harding and Oak -- Request for painted yellow crosswalk.
The Committee recommended installing a painted yellow crosswalk on the north side of Harding and Oak. Also install two two-sided R-49 signs (NO PEDESTRIAN CROSSING - USE CFOSSWALK) on the east side of the street.
Rancho Santa Fe Road between Questhaven and Olivenhain --
Request to lower speed limit from 55 MPH to 45 MPH.
Since lowering the speed limit would create a speed trap, and the Police would not be able to use radar, the Committee denied this request. Staff will take a look at the accident history in this location and find out the status of the new striping on Rancho Santa Fe Road at Cluesthaven.
