4.2.7 McKinley School Crossing - Oak Grove and Paloma - Request for
Flashing Signal and Post "school/Pedestrian Crossing."
Staff Comments: Tom Moore stated that many of the schools were usingsafety stands; they also tend to cut down the speeds of vehicles in
school areas, thinks they would be useful and recommends their use.
CalTrans' tests have shown no problems with motorcycles hitting base.
Use in Redwood City has found that driver complianCe seems to be high.
Before and after studies show the "85th percentile speed,, was reduced
by six miles per hour.
Commission Discussion: Appears to have potential for driver awarness
and speed reduction at school zones. Would require cooperation of
schools to place and pick up signs.
The Commission approved the use of these signs ',in concept,, and di-rected staff to 'initiate discussions with schools.
Red Curb at 1510 Rollins Road Driveway - Portion Left Unpainted.
Staff Comments: Sgt. Parkin reviewed this 'location and recommenedto the Commission that red zone be left where it is; extending red
zone to culvert would not help. Current placement of red zoni pro-
vides a "window" for cars exiting the driveway to see approaching
cars.
