Request: Install stop signs on Emerson at Lincoln to help resolve visibility
p·l"oDlems and to control speedf ng on Emerson.
Received from: Several residents on Emerson.
Existing Situ~tion: Emerson is a through street at Lincoln. Traffic on Lincoln nis-Stop s1gns ___ J'his is an intersection nf two local streets.
Analysis: Lincoln carries approximately 900 vehicles per day (v/d) and it is
estfmatid that Emerscr. carries approximately 800 v/d. Field observations
indicate that visibility is restricted for westbound traffic on Lincoln due to a
bush on the southeast side of Lincoln and l)ilrked· cars on the northeast side of
Lincoln. Visi~ility i11Provanents can be made by triORing the bush and
prohibiting the parking. Staff has requested the owner to trim the bush which
will impr~ve the visibility. In addition, a work ol1der will be issued ta paint
30 feet of red curb on the northeast corner of the intersection to improve
visibility. Tt«> accidents have been reported to the Police Department over the
last two-year period. A speed survey during the ev~n1ng peak period indicates
that the 85th percentile speed is 30 mrh. The lllM!d1an speed 1s 24 mph.
Right turn only movements are penaitted on the fntersect1on ot Embarcadero/
Emerson one block touth of the subject f ntersectton. In the north~rly
direction, stop signs exist ori E•rson at Addison·, ooe block away frOAt the
subjact i~tersectfons. The extst1ng stop signs on Ellerson are c~nsistent with
the •Guard & Go• policies. Neither'' the two streets ire bus routes or ha~~
bi kt lanes. P IT E REC NDED IHSTALLATJ OF T s GNS ON C'11.1rrM-nu

Request: Install stop signs on Loma Verde at Greer to control speeding and to
1ic11itate the safety of ch11dren walking to ahd from Sequoyah Schooi.
Received frOlll: Jeff Kocsis, T0tn Steege, Principal, Sequoyah School, Mary Young,
President. PIA, Los Ninos School, and several parents fran the Los Ninos School attendance.
Existing Situation: Lo.a Verde is a through street at Greer. Traffic on Greer
~as stOp sf g~s. Loma Verde f s a coi1ector street wttf le Greer is a l<>Cal
street.
Analysis: Loma Verde cart·1es approxhtately 1800 vehicles per day ( v/d) and ft
is estimated that Greer carries approximately 1,000 tG 1500 v/d. Although field
observations 1ndicate that no peraanent visibility problems e~ist due to bushes,
etc., a couple of vans have been observed parking on L<ma Verde at the southwest
corner on two occas1ons. Therefore, 1t 1s essential for the northbound drivers
on Gre!r to use caution when these vans are parked on La.a Verde. However, only
ofle accident has been reported to the Police Departllent over the last two year
period. The reported accident tthtory does not tnd1i;ate thfs to be a problem
location. Ttte nearest stop sfgns on L0111a Verde exist at Louis in the westerly
direction c.nd West Bayshore Road in the easterly dh'ect1on. There are no btke
1 anes on LOIN Ver·de or Greer. HGwver, Greer 1 s a bu's route.
A traffic gap study conducted i_n the mrntng and afternoon periods tndtcate that
sufficient adequate gaps occur in the traffic for saf.e crout'lg of LON Verde.
Accordingly, this location does not meet the Council adopted cd teda for
installation of stop signs near schools.
A ~peed survey on Loma Verde dur-ing the mrning per·ioo 'indicates ttie 85th
percentile speed to be 36 mph and the median speed to be 32 mph. The measured
speeds on Loma Verde are approximately the same as ~.easured on most of the other
collector streets in Palo Alto.
Reco11111endation: Staff recommends that no action be taken on this request since
ft does not iqeet Council adopted critPria for insta11~t1on of stop signs near
schools.
