6.c – Bellevue
Avenue Access
Restriction
MEETING DATE:
October 11, 2018
To: Traffic Safety and Parking Commission
Date: October 11, 2018
From: Andrew Wong, Senior Engineer
Subject: Item 6.c – Access Restriction from Westbound Bellevue Avenue to El
Camino Real
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission review the information, have
a public discussion, and provide feedback regarding staff’s exploration of the feasibility to restrict
access from westbound Bellevue Avenue to El Camino Real.
BACKGROUND:
El Camino Real is a major arterial within Burlingame, carrying approximately 30,000 vehicles per
day. Along El Camino Real, there are 23 intersections within the Burlingame City Limits, with 15
of them signalized. Bellevue Avenue is not signalized, with stop-controls only on the Bellevue
Avenue approaches. El Camino Real is owned and operated by Caltrans; with Bellevue Avenue
east of El Camino Real in Burlingame, and west of El Camino Real in the Town of Hillsborough.
Along El Camino Real there are varying sizes of eucalyptus trees; due to their trunk diameters,
they may reduce driver’s visibility when exiting from any of the intersections onto El Camino Real.
Bellevue Avenue is not only a location where these trees have an impact on driver visibility, but it
is a non-signalized intersection. In the past, a “no left-turn” from westbound Bellevue Avenue
onto El Camino Real was installed to reduce potential safety concerns. Even with this
improvement, there continues to be challenges for westbound driver’s exiting onto El Camino
Real due to inadequate visibility.
DISCUSSION:
Staff is considering exploring the feasibility of restricting westbound Bellevue Avenue access onto El
Camino Real to further reduce challenges for westbound drivers. The restriction to be considered
would be implemented with signage. A “No Outlet” sign would be installed on the northwest corner of
Bellevue Avenue/Almer Road, with a “Do Not Enter” sign installed on the northeast corner of Bellevue
Avenue/El Camino Real. This action would only restrict westbound vehicle access to El Camino Real.
Both the eastbound access to El Camino Real from Bellevue Avenue and access from El Camino Real
to Bellevue Avenue would not be affected. Westbound vehicles accessing El Camino Real would
need to find alternative access onto El Camino Real. The signalized intersection of Floribunda
Avenue/El Camino Real is the closest and most likely alternative.
Item 6.c – Proposal to Restrict Access from Bellevue Avenue to El Camino Real October 11, 2018
2
As El Camino Real is owned by Caltrans, the process to make this change will involve
coordination with them. Prior to initiating this coordination, staff is seeking feedback. Based on
this feedback, staff will make a determination on whether to continue exploring the feasibility of
restricting access onto El Camino Real from westbound Bellevue Avenue.

TSPC to provide feedback regarding staff’s exploration of
the feasibility to restrict access from westbound Bellevue
Avenue to El Camino Real
Background
El Camino Real (ECR) is a major arterial within Burlingame, carrying
approximately 30,000 vehicles per day.
ECR is owned and operated by Caltrans; with Bellevue Avenue east of
ECR in Burlingame, and west of El Camino Real in the Town of
Hillsborough.
Along ECR there are varying sizes of eucalyptus trees; due to their
trunk diameters or quantity, they may reduce driver’s visibility when
exiting from any of the intersections onto El Camino Real.
Bellevue Avenue is not only a location where these trees have an
impact on driver visibility, but it is a non-signalized intersection.
In the past, a “no left-turn” from westbound Bellevue Avenue onto El
Camino Real was installed to reduce potential safety concerns. Even
with this improvement, there continues to be challenges for
westbound.
