09/02/2003, BUS 3 - 2002 ANNUAL TRAFFIC SAFETY REPORT
CONTINUF" ,FROM AUGUST 28, 2003 counCI L M<ctineDa. -1 ��n - DS ACEnc)A nEpont „ry.. a :. CITY O F SAN LUIS O B I S P O FROM: Michael McCluskey, Public Works Director Prepared By: Timothy Scott Bochum, Deputy Director Public Works Jake Daniel Hudson,Transportation Assistant SUBJECT: 2002 ANNUAL TRAFFIC SAFETY REPORT CAO RECOMMENDATION 1. Receive the 2002 Annual Traffic Safety Report and associated mitigation strategies. 2. Receive a report on the in-ground lighted crosswalks at the 800 Blocks of Higuera&Marsh regarding performance and concerns for operational impacts to adjacent signalized intersections.. DISCUSSION 2002 Annual Traffic Safetv Report As part of the City's Traffic Safety Program, the Public Works Department has completed the second annual comprehensive Traffic Safety Report. This report reviews all intersections and street segments in the City for crash rates and makes recommendations for altering or monitoring the five most critical locations of each intersection type (ie: arterial/arterial) and segment classification. The report also reviews vehicle conflicts with pedestrians and bicyclists. The compiled crash data and corresponding analysis have been compiled and released by the Public Works Department in August of 2003..Mitigation measures identified in the Traffic Safety Report are included in Attachment 1, with the entire 2002 Annual Traffic Safety Report provided to Council under separate memo and available for review in the office of the City Clerk, at the Public Works Department front counter and on the City's website. The Report identifies collision patterns among the five highest crash rate locations of similar classification. Thus, all arterial segments are compared to each other to establish the locations that should be reviewed for possible mitigation or safety improvements. The program utilizes an advanced crash records software suite which aids in the determination of crash patterns and potential corrective measures. In order to determine if corrective measures could curtail the likeliness of a collision type identified in the crash pattern, staff conducted a comprehensive analysis including a survey of the physical conditions and travel behavior. The Report has made sixteen(16)recommendations to improve traffic safety at these high crash rate locations, which are listed in Attachment 1. Of these sixteen recommendations, fifteen low cost measures have already been implemented or are in the process of being implemented. The significance of an intersection or roadway segment in regards to its crash rate is based on the relationship between the number of vehicles entering an intersection or traveling on a street segment and potential conflict that may develop. The more entering vehicles the more likely a collision is to occur. Thus, one would expect more collisions at locations with higher vehicle and pedestrian volumes. The crash rate is a ratio between the volume of vehicles and the number of I I Council Agenda Report—2002 Annual Traffic Safety Report Page 2 collisions. Crash rates are used by police departments to target traffic enforcement and by engineers to establish mitigation that reflects collision numbers and vehicular traffic to be affected. Crash statistics within this report are based on actual police reports rather than dispatch numbers or public opinion. There are also new sections in the 2002 Traffic Safety Report. Roadway segment analysis has been added to review and mitigate mid-block locations with high collision rates. Problems at these mid-block locations are sometimes difficult to identify since collisions may occur at multiple driveway locations. Pedestrian and bicycle collision listings were also included. A detailed pedestrian and bicycle mitigation program will be included in a future annual safety report. Finally, while the Traffic Safety Report only focuses on the top five crash rate locations for each subgroup, there are other locations that experience high crash numbers. These locations have been reviewed to determine if additional mitigation can be performed to address the actual number of collision even though their crash rates were not within the top group. Analysis Results & Safety Trends Traffic collisions have been increasing in San Luis Obispo over the past four years. In 2002, a total of 1,253 collisions were reported, with a 9% increase since 2001 and a 14% increase since 2000. Although collisions have continued to increase since 1999, the rate at which the collisions have increased is on the decline. City-wide Annual Collision Data Total Reported Year Crashes on Public Streets Intersections % Change Total % Change 1999 587 - 910 - 2000 646 +10.05 1,025 +12.57 2001 766 +18.58 1,139 +11:12 2002_ 750 -2.13 1,253 +9.10 Source: City of San Luis Traffic collision Database It is important to note that while total collisions were again up in 2002 intersection collisions were slightly down. This is hopefully a good indicator of the City's Safety Program which only focused on intersection locations in last year's Traffic Safety Report. Injury collisions, being the focus of traffic safety, are up in 2002 as compared to 2001. In 2002, a total of 309 injury collisions were reported, with a 14% increase since 2001 and a 13%increase since 2000. Traffic collisions resulting in fatalities generally do not occur at intersections with high collision rates; they are the result of unique situations and do not represent typical conditions. A high collision rate is generally indicative of poor driver habit or deficient roadway conditions that may be correctable by mitigation or alteration. However, traffic fatalities are often high profile incidents that receive the most attention for both the public and media. Over the past four years the City has experienced just over one fatality per year. In 2002, there was one recorded fatality.

Many of the mitigation measures are low cost traffic improvements, such as installation of additional signing and striping and are currently being implemented by staff. Some require continued monitoring of the locations with possible future mitigation if crash patterns continue. There are no significantly expensive projects that would require additional funding at this time and it is anticipated that all mitigation projects can be implemented within the City's annual budget of$35,000 for minor traffic safety improvements. 2001 Traffic Safety Report: An Update of Last Year's Recommended Improvements Last year's Traffic Safety Report (2001) recommended implementation of numerous mitigation strategies throughout the City. To date, all have been completed with the exception of the signal modification at M;irsh/Osos and Marsh/Santa Rosa and the installation of a traffic signal at Broad and Pacific Streets. Attachment 2 contains a listing of completed traffic safety improvements and a summary is provided on the following page. Additional funding has been allocated through the FY 2003-2005 Financial Plan for the signalization of the intersection at Pacific and Broad, signal improvements to the Santa Rosa/Marsh and the Marsh/Osos Intersections. These projects are currently under design and should proceed to construction in early 2004. 3- � Council Agenda Report—2002 Annual Traffic Safety Report Page 4 2001 Traffic Safety Improvements Completed to Date Improvement Type # of Improvements Signal Timing 6 Sight Distance 8 Signing& Striping 13 Pedestrian Crossing 8 Performance Analysis: In-Ground Lighted Crosswalks As part of the 2001 Traffic Safety Report and during the Marsh Street Parking Structure expansion project, the issue of traffic control at mid-block pedestrian crossings was discussed. In 2002, the City implemented In-Ground Pavement Lighting systems at two high pedestrian volume locations to determine their effectiveness in increasing pedestrian protection. A review of these two locations has been conducted to determine their effectiveness in increasing pedestrian safety and to determine if they operationally work for motor vehicle operations along the major streets. Most significant is the fact that after the systems were installed we have not had a single pedestrian collision at either location. While there still are conflicts, the lighting appears to be performing as expected (see Attachment 3,Marsh St. Report). The following is a synopsis of the review: Marsh St. Crosswalk. The mid-block crosswalk at the 800 block of Marsh Street is performing as expected. Vehicle queuing at the crosswalk sporadically nears capacity during the afternoon peak hour with pedestrian and vehicle volumes sharply diminishing prior to and after that peak hour. The crosswalk has only added approximately 7% to the interruption in the progression from the Marsh/Chorro Intersection to the Marsh/Morro intersection. However, the additional disruption is less than would be expected from a full signalization at this location. Most importantly, no pedestrian/crosswalk related collisions have occurred since the crosswalk came on-line over a year ago. Higuera St. Crosswalk. The mid-block crosswalk at the 800 block of Higuera Street is also performing as expected. Vehicle queuing at the crosswalk similarly approaches capacity during the afternoon peak hour with pedestrian and vehicle volumes sharply diminishing prior to and after that peak. Due to construction activity in the area an accurate interruption study could not be completed but will be monitored in future months when construction is completed. The vehicle disruptions at this location are not as many as at Marsh Street due to lower pedestrian volumes. Most importantly, no collisions have been reported since the crosswalk came on-line over nine months ago. CONCURRENCES San Luis Police Department has reviewed the 2002 Annual Traffic Safety Report and concurs with its findings. FISCAL IMPACT Mitigations strategies identified the 2001 Traffic Safety Report have been funded in the FY 3 =4 Council Agenda Report—2002 Annual Traffic Safety Report Page 5 2003-2005 Financial Plan. All but three of these strategies (the signalization of Broad/Pacific.and signal improvements at Marsh/Santa Rosa & Marsh/Osos) have been implemented. These projects are currently under design. Funding for mitigation strategies identified in the 2002 Traffic Safety Report have been allocated in the City's Capital Improvement Program as follows: Traffic Signal Improvements(Marsh/Santa Rosa&Marsh/Osos) $95,000 Minor Traffic Safety Improvements (annual allocation) $35,000 Design plans and cost estimates must be prepared before staff can determine if additional funding is necessary to implement the mitigation strategies identified in the 2002 Traffic Safety Report. It is important to note that this engineering safety program is in its second year of operation and in order for it to continue be successful a prolonged commitment, both financially and through staff resources, will be necessary to properly implement safety mitigation and reduce our high accident rates. Similar to the Pavement Management program, annual expenditure commitments will be necessary if it is the goal of our City and community to improve traffic, pedestrian and bicycle safety along our roadways.

During the afternoon peak hour the crosswalk is activated approximately 100 times with an average length of 14 seconds and an average of Crosswalk Induced Queuing 4 pedestrians crossings during each activation. 30 Queue 0.8291(X-ing Peds)+5.1077 The vehicle queuing capacity behind the 9) 25 crosswalk was estimated at 33 vehicles and t 20 field studies demonstrated that the 40 > 15 :;_;£ _•' Marsh/Chorro intersection was impacted when m 10 the capacity behind the crosswalk exceeded 0 1 60% or 20 vehicles. During the evening peak 0 10 20 30 hour the average queuing behind the crosswalk Crossing Pedestrians During Activation is 10 vehicles, exceeding a target capacity of 60% at only 2 of the crosswalk activations during that peak hour. During the evening peak hour the crosswalk is also activated approximately 100 times with an average length of 12 seconds and an average of 3 pedestrian crossings during each activation. The average queuing behind the crosswalk is 6 vehicles, exceeding a target capacity of 60% at only 3 of the crosswalk activations during that peak hour. It is estimated that queuing capacity behind the crosswalk during an activation will not be exceeded if the number of pedestrians crossing during an activation remains below 17. Therefore, with current pedestrian volumes, less than one percent of the daily crosswalk activations impact the Marsh/Chorro Intersection. Progression Interruption During those same peak hours there are sixty activations of the WB through phase at the Marsh/Chorro Intersection. It was observed that during progressions without pedestrian actuations, approximately 45% of each queue is interrupted in their progression by other factors such as parking maneuvers, vehicles entering the parking structure, and left turns at the Marsh/Morro Intersection. It was observed that during progressions with pedestrian crossings, approximately 52% of each queue is interrupted in their progression by all factors including pedestrian crosswalk actuations. Therefore, the lighted crosswalk has increased the progression interruption by 7% from conditions existing prior to the crosswalk coming online. Pedestrian Safety The 800 block of Marsh Street had 2 reported collisions for one year and nine reported collisions for three years prior to the crosswalk coming on line, two of which involved pedestrian injury accidents. Since the crosswalk was lit on May ls`of 2002 only two non pedestrian related collisions were reported one involved a parked vehicle without the 3 -13 MARSH STREET LIGHT ✓'CROSSWALK: --- ATTACHMENT 3 OPERATION& IMPACT REPORT parking brake set rolling back into a fixed object and the other involved a vehicle backing into a parked car while performing a parking maneuver.

At the Marsh Street crosswalk, five of the nine collisions over the past four years are correctable by the lighted crosswalk with a comprehensive savings of approximately$17,360 for a four year period. Performance Results The mid-block crosswalk at the 800 block of Marsh Street is performing as expected. Vehicle queuing at the crosswalk approaches capacity during the afternoon peak hour with pedestrian and vehicle volumes sharply diminishing prior to and after that peak hour. The crosswalk has only added approximately 7% to the interruption in the progression from the Marsh/Chorro Intersection to the Marsh/Morro Intersection. Most importantly, no pedestrian/crosswalk related collisions have occurred since the crosswalk came on-line over a year ago. 3 1� P U B L I C W 0 R K S DEPARTMENT 955 MORRO ST. 93401-3208 0— M l let • !v \ t \1�:�,�-�/ f'/i ll��l��I:�t�t �e� w$l.��� `•.�'�C l`'w��; a'ji{A.1 a�A ,T+�:o v 4a►��� � ^'a ..d' � yrs..�%: t��i II fir.--•a, S, w 'F, WtC Of contenu TABLE OF CONTE _............_.» 2002 TRAFFIC SAFETY REPORT AUGUST 2003...- A 003..._A MESSAGE FROM THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR..............» EXECUTIVE SUMMARY _.__..._». .....»_.» _»»» »» ».. ».».....6 INTRODUCTION ..._.......... » .._». _» _» » » M »_.». .»» ...».7 BACKGROUND CITY-WIDE CRASH STATISTICS __.._ ..._.__» .............10 Table 3.1-Citywide Annual Collision Data......................................................................................................10 Figure3.1-Foto Year Collision Trend..............................................................................................................10 Table 3.2-Citywide Annual lrtlwy and Fatal Crashes....................................................................................11 Figure 3.2-Four Year Injury Collision..............................................................................................................11 Table 3.3-Comparison oflnjtay&Death Rates...............................................................................................13 Table3.4-Economic Costs,2002.......................................................................................................................14 Table3.5-Comprehensive Costs,2002..............................................................................................................14 Table 3.6-City of San Luis Obispo Economic Costs,2001-2002 Traffic Crashes..........................................15 ALTERNATIVE MODE TRANSPORTATION SAFETY....._........_......... .»»» _ ..»_....»................16 Table 4.1-Pedestrian and Bicycle Annual Collision Data...............................................................................16 Figure 4.1-Bicycle and Pedestrian Collision Trends.......................................................................................16 Table 4.2-2001 Pedestrian Collisions by Type................................................................................................. 17 SAFETY INVESTIGATIONS.......»......»._»»»»__ _»_. »......_»......».._... » 18 ' Table 5.1-2002 NTM Requests and Status........................................................................................................18 2001 HIGH CRASH RATE LOCATIONS..—........_.....__».»_ - Table 6.1 -Recommendations For Intersections Involving Two Arterial Streets............................................23 Table 6.2-Recommendations For Intersections Involving ArteriallCollector Streets.....................................26 Table 6.3-Recommendations For Intersections Involving ArteriaflLoca1 StreW...........................................29 ' Table 6.4-Recommendations For Imersections Involving Collector/Collector Streets..................................32 Table 6.S-Recommendations For Intersections Involving Collector/Local Streets........................................33 Table 6.6-Recommendations For Intersections Involving Local/Local Streets...............................................36 Table 6.7-Recommendations Other Significant Intersections..........................................................................39 Table 6.8-Recommendations for Arterial Segments.........................................................................................43 Table 6.9-Recommendations For Collector Segments.....................................................................................46 Table 6.10-Recommendations For Local Segments.........................................................................................49 APPENDIX 1--- - »». ..»_._.._..... . _ »_. _ _ ........»..... »»..__52 APPENDIX 2»..- ... ___._. »».....» _ _»» .. 60 APPENDIX 3.-- APPENDIX .»APPENDIX 4.. » _ » ».74 APPENDIX 5 77 APPENDIX 6 84 APPENDIX 7 91 APPENDIX -101 APPENDIX 9 113 APPENDIX 10 125 APPENDIX 11 137 APPENDIX 12 139 2002 Police Department Traffic Safety Una Operations Report.....................................................................139 it 3 2002 W4PC&NPOty REpORt APRI12M City Council Dave Romero, Mayor Christine Mulholland, Vice Mayor Allan Settle John Ewan Ken Schwartz City Administration Ken Hampian, City Administrative Officer Wendy George,Assistant City Administrative Officer Public Works Department Michael McCluskey, Public Works Director Timothy S.

There are some things old and some things new in the 2002 Report. We again identify high crash location for intersections within the City. In addition, this year we have extended this analysis to roadway segments and also include listings of bicycle and pedestrian crash locations.We intend to include more detailed bicycle and pedestrian crash analysis in future volumes of the Annual Safety Report.. Overall, there was both good and bad in 2002. Our total number of collisions r; actually increased by 9% a number higher than anticipated. However, our actual collisions at intersections(where we began focusing our attentions last year)were down a small bit at 2.13%. Hopefully, now that we are including'roadway segments in this report we will continue to see reductions in those areas too. Its through programs such as this report as well as programs like the Police Department's traffic safety enforcement program that we hope to curb these unacceptable trends and improve the safety of our motoring, walking and bicycling public. I would like to thank Peggy Mandeville, Jake Hudson,, Hallie Holden and members of the City Police Department for their tireless work in compiling the necessary information that has gone into this report, the many hours disseminating that data to make recommendations for appropriate improvements and for all the future work that will be necessary to complete our tasks, meet our objectives and make our streets as safe as we can. Sincerely Timothy Scott Bochum, P.E. Deputy Director of Public Works 5 Executive summauy Annual Traffic Safety Report - 2002 In January 2002, the City initiated its comprehensive Traffic Safety Program aimed at reducing crashes at the highest .crash locations in the City. This program concentrates on identifying all intersections that have experienced three or more crashes in a one-year period and then prioritizes these locations based upon crash rates as compared to similar locations within the City. Crash patterns at the highest crash rate locations are then analyzed using collision diagrams that are produced using state of the art computer software. Each of the locations are then reviewed by staff to determine if mitigation projects can be implemented to reduce the likelihood of occurrence for the identified crash patterns. Mitigation measures for high crash rate locations for calendar year 2002 have been identified and are summarized in this report. The Annual Traffic Safety Report will be prepared each year to review and report on City traffic safety benchmarks, improve traffic safety performance and to maintain high levels of service for our City residents, business owners and visitors. In general, traffic collisions have.been on an upward trend in San Luis Obispo for the last four years. There were 1,253 total collisions in 2002, 9% above the previous 12 month period and 18%above collisions reported in 2000. Intersection collisions (where we started focused mitigation in 2002) were actually down 2.13%from 2001 totals (750 as compared to 766) but remained above 1999 or 2000 calendar year totals. Injury collisions were up by 16.6% in 2002 (309) as compared to 2001 (265) and 14.9% as compared to 2000 (269). However, injury collision as a percentage of all collisions only marginally increased by 0.6% between 2001 and 2002 and was actually down by 1.58%from the year 2000 ratio. There was one fatality during 2002,which was the same as calendar year 2001. section l Moaucaon How to Use This Report Every year the City of San Luis Obispo will conduct a Traffic Safety Report for the previous twelve month period in order to: 1) determine the locations within the City that appear to have the highest crash rates in comparison to like locations, 2) to determine the effectiveness of mitigation measures implemented in the previous twelve month period, 3) identify if new locations should be mitigated, and 4) ' determine if the types of collisions and previous collision trends have changed. This report identifies locations that may require special attention or mitigation in order to reduce crashes or severity of expected collisions. The report will normally be prepared after City crash statistics are available in April or March of the following year. The locations mentioned in this report should not be interpreted as a list of dangerous or"least safe" intersections within the City of San Luis Obispo. The specific total of collisions for any location for any year is a function of various factors such as weather patterns, construction, roadway conditions and driver habits. Many of these factors are often difficult to identify and are most often beyond the ability of the engineer to change or control. However, the City's mitigation program attempts to identify roadway elements that can be modified so as to make the transportation infrastructure more driver friendly, reduce driver confusion, promote bicycle and pedestrian safety and limit impact severity. It is natural to expect that any location in the City will experience years above or below the expected value of crash rates that might be common to similar locations City-wide. Traffic volumes play an important role in determining the likelihood of collision totals (The more pedestrians and vehicles that use a location...the more likely a crash will occur). This report looks to identify locations that fall above the expected rate of similar City locations and propose mitigation measures, if necessary to reduce crash potential and limit crash seventy. 1 section 2 eackcaouna ZI Study Objectives The objective of the Annual Traffic Safety Report is essentially to identify the high crash locations in the City and track crash reductions through the various City safety programs and projects that the City administers each year. The spec objectives of the 2002 Traffic Safety Report are: • Identify the intersections and segments within the City associated with the highest crash rates, and thoroughly analyze collision diagrams so as to suggest remedial mitigation measures for the five highest locations that will reduce the potential for collisions, and; • Track aftemative mode transportation collisions that include bicycle and pedestrian crashes and improve warning devices at high collision locations, and; • Report on engineering safety analysis conducted in the previous 12-month period that the City and general public have identified as areas of concern regarding appropriate traffic control. The Annual Traffic Safety Report will evolve as City programs and emphasis on problem solving change. 2.2 Study Methodology Crash Data It is important to note that the data contained within the Public Works Traffic Collision Database will vary from other sources of crash data such as the California - Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) of the City's Emergency Dispatch Records. While SWITRS data is similarly derived from official police collision reports, many times the reports are coded incorrectly due to jurisdictional boundary issues and/or agency reporting inaccuracies. An example of this might be a collision occurring on v Highway 101 — because the facility is under Caltrans jurisdiction, this crash record and its potential remediation would not be included in this report. However, because the CHP report may state the collision occurred within the City of San Luis Obispo, the SWITRS database might contain this as a collision under our jurisdiction. Likewise, City emergency dispatch may receive a call regarding a traffic collision but when the reporting officer arrives, the vehicles have been moved on or there is no evidence of occurrence. Therefore, statistics derived from this data is inaccurate because no official proof or record exists of the actual collision. 1 Reported traffic crashes obtained by the City Police Department are the basis used by the City Traffic Engineering Section to determine traffic safety. Report totals were obtained for each intersection and roadway segment within the City and entered into the City's traffic collision database. These locations were then grouped by street characteristic and collision type. Collision diagrams were then generated using this data and interpretations of crash patterns were formulated. The number of collisions reported by the Police Department annually is approximately 100 to 150 higher than the number reported in this Public Works report One reason for this discrepancy is that the Police Department report includes collisions that may have occurred on private property, such as a parking lot, while the Public Works department does not track collisions on private property because it is outside of the department's Jurisdiction. Based on the perceived crash patterns, mitigation measures are formulated for the five highest ranked crash locations for each intersection and segment sub-category. Mitigation measures for these sub-categories will be implemented in 2003-04 as projects are designed and funding becomes available. 1 Traffic Volumes Vehicle and pedestrian volumes play an important role in establishing crash rates for selected locations within the City. Vehicle volume counts were collected in 2001 & 2002 as a basis to establish actual conditions in the field environment Where volume counts were not available, volumes were estimated based on previous experience and engineering judgment. Volume counts were then used for the majority of the locations to establish isolated and average crash rates for each intersection. Crash Rate Calculations Crash rates were calculated using the following formulas: Intersections: RI = N X 1.000.000 V X 365 Segments: RS = N X 1.000.000 ' Where: 365XVXL RI= Intersection Crash Rate=Collision frequency per million vehicles entering the intersection. RS = Segment Crash Rate=Collision frequency per million vehicle miles traveled along the segment. , N = Number of crashes(collision frequency) of the location. V= Average daily vehicular volume using the street segment or intersection. L= Length of street segment(n miles)being analyzed. 9 section 3 1 cryw6c dash sUMMS &I City-wide Collision Trends Reportable crash statistics for the City are contained in Tables 3.1 and 3.2. Any reported collision within the public right-0f--way that involved a fatality, personal injury or property damage was recorded as a crash. Crashes that occurred on private property, out of the public right .of way, on other jurisdictions facilities, or were not reported to the police department are not entered into the City's database. While reported crashes are not a total indicator of transportation crashes that occur within the City, they remain the basis with which the City determines both collision trends and effectiveness of City programs. The number of reported traffic collisions varies due to many social factors. Often minor traffic collisions, non-injury crashes and private property crashes go unreported and as such are highly unreliable in determining "high profile" crash locations or areas of concem. Table 3.1 indicates the reported traffic collision history of the City. Table 31 -City-wide Annual Collision Data Total Reported Year Crashes on Pub9c Streets Intersections %Change Total %Change 1999 587 - 910 2000 646 +10.05 1,025 +12.57 2001 1 766 +18.58 1,139 +11.12 2002 1 750 1 -2.13 1,253 +9.10 ' Source: City of San Luis Traffic Collision Database Variations in yearly crashes are to be expected. While total crashes are a good indicator of the overall crash performance of the City, injury and fatality crashes are better indicators of changes in collision trends and are the most reliable crash indicators when monitoring the safety of a transportation system.

' Total collisions have increased approbmately 10.9 % per year for.the three year period from 1999 to 2002. 3.2 Injury and Fatal Collision Trends Iniury Crashes The Traffic Engineering Division tracks injury and fatal crashes as part the current Traffic Safety Program. Table 3.2 depicts the injury crash information as recorded by the Ciy.

However, as seen in Figure 3.3, injury collisions as a percentage of all collisions only marginally increased by 0.6% between 2001 and 2002 and were actually down by 1.58%from the years 2000 and 1999.

This variation is due to many factors that are often beyond the control of engineering professionals. However, the Citys Traffic Safety program attempts to reduce fatal crashes by removing conflicting vehicular and pedestrian movements at appropriate locations, ' limit crash severity through improvements to roadway design features, and promoting traffic safety through an aggressive community outreach program. There was one (1) traffic fatality recorded in 2002 upon City streets. Table 3.3 compares the fatal traffic crashes within the City with national averages. 3.3 Compadson with National, State and County Rates Author's Note: All national, state and San Luis Obispo County statistics and cost estimates contained in this section are the most up to date figures available at the time of this publication. The table below demonstrates the significant difference between City death and injury rates and the National statistics. The numbers in this table represent the actual number of injuries or fatalities resulting from traffic collisions, not the number of collisions that involved injuries or fatalities. 12 Table 3.3-Comparison of Inljtuy&Death Rates ' 2002 Fatalities Fatalities Population Rate Per 100,000 (Thousands) Population Nationally* 42,850 2,926,368 14.86 State Wide*" 3,753 32,51 11.54 County of San Luis Obispo** 31 239 12.97 ' My of San Luis Obispo 1 1 45 1 2.24 2002 Injuries Injuries Population Rate Per 100,000 (Thousands) Population National 2,926,000 288,368 1,010 State Wide" 303,023 34,800 932 ' 1 County of San Luis Obis o" 1,877 239 785 City of San Luis Obispo 1 309 45 1 687 National Statistics are from 2001 because 2002 infonnation was not available at the time this report was being produced. State and County Statistics are from 2000 because 2002 or 2001 information was not available at the time this report was being produced. 3.3 BeneWCost Analysis The National Safety Council has provided the following information and estimates. There are two methods currently used to measure the costs of motor-vehicle crashes. One is the economic cost framework and the other is the tcomprehensive cost framework. Economic costs may be used by a community or state to estimate the economic impact of motor-vehicle crashes that occurred within its jurisdiction in.a given time period. It is a measure of the productivity lost and expenses incurred because of the crashes. Economic costs, however, should not be used for cost-benefit analysis ' because they do not reflect what society is willing to pay to prevent a statistical fatality or injury. There are five economic cost components: (a) wage and productivity losses, which include wages, fringe benefits, household production, and travel delay; (b) medical expenses including emergency service costs; (c) administrative expenses, which ' include the administrative cost of private and public insurance plus police and legal costs; (d) motor-vehicle damage including the value of damage to property; and (e) employer costs for crashes to workers. The information below shows the average economic costs in 2001 per death (not per fatal crash), per injury (not per injury crash), and per property damage crash. These cost estimates are based upon 200 actual crash cost calculations. t 13 Table 3A-Economic Costs,2002 Collision Type Dollar Doss Death $1,000,000 Nonfatal disabling injury $35,300 Incapacitating injury $47,900 Non-incapacitating evident injury $16,000 Possible injury $9,700 Property damage crash (including minor injuries) $6,500 Source:National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(Traffic Safety Fads 2000) Comprehensive costs include not only the economic cost components, but also a measure of the value of lost quality of life associated with the deaths and injuries, that is, what society is willing to pay to prevent them. The values of lost quality of life were obtained through empirical studies of what people actually pay to reduce their safety and health risks, such as through the purchase of air bags or smoke detectors. Comprehensive costs should be used for cost-benefit analysis, but because the lost quality of life represents only a dollar equivalence of intangible qualities, they do not represent real economic losses and should not be used to determine the economic ' impact of past crashes. The information below shows the average comprehensive costs in 2001 on a per person basis. These cost estimates are based upon 2000 actual crash cost calculations. Currently, the City's collision reports indicate injury crashes only if reported at the crash scene and no determinations are made regarding the injury type as shown in the above tables. Therefore, comprehensive cost estimates for this analysis will assume that all injury types fall into the category of"Non-incapacitating evident injury" as shown above. Table 3.6 shows the 2002 economic costs in crashes to the City using annual cost estimates. 1 Table 3.5-Comprehensive Costs,2002 C_pWp n Type Dollar Loss Death $3,214,290 Incapacitating injury(a) $159,449 Non4ricapacitating evident injury(a) $41,027 Possible injury(a) $19,528 ' No injury $1,861 Source:National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(Traffic Safety Fads 2000) 1 14 r r Table 3.6-City of San Lads Obispo Economic Costs,2001-2002 Traffic Crashes i Crash Type Year Death Noes incapacitabing Property Damage Total Dollar lnju y Only LAss Cosh Cost" Costco 2001 1 $1,000,000. 330 $5,280,000 873 $5,674,500 $11,954,500 2002 1 $1,000,000 396 $6,336,000 1 941 $6,116,500 1 $13,452,500 (a) Economic costs are based upon 2000 cost estimates. While the dollar amounts depicted in.Table 3.6 do not equate to tangible monetary costs, it is evident that the annualized costs to city motorists, insurance companies and medical providers, depend on the number(and type) of traffic crashes that occur ' within the City. The total cost amount depends highly on the crash type and is proportional to the severity of each type of crash type. 1s r seGnon 4 AltE-nmtive moOetmnspo=tion salty 4.1 Pedestrian Crashes In January 2000 a City-wide pedestrian crossing policy was adopted by the City Council. This policy is designed to ultimately bring all of the pedestrian crossings ' in the City to a consistent standard. As the policy continues to be implemented over the next several years it is anticipated that pedestrian crashes will decline City-wide. The following table lists the various types of pedestrian related crashes as detailed in the Police Reports.

The unit went through personnel changes and a very busy time with collision investigations. The Office of Traffic Safety Grant was completed and the final report was submitted to OTS and approved. Collision rates increased, which appears to be in correlation with increased traffic volumes throughout the City. Public Works did an outstanding job with the signal lights on Marsh St. which resulted in none of the Marsh St. intersections being in the top ten for collisions. The unit worked on a number of special events. ' Collision rates in all categories are up with the most significant rise in injury pedestrian collisions. They are up 72%. Citation counts were down 5% with hazardous citations down 7%. Our traffic index is 14.7, which is well below the recommended 25%. This could partially be 1 due to the way our hazardous citations are counted and our definition of a hazardous violation. Manpower shortages throughout the Department resulted in less available time for enforcement. Traffic officers in the station writing collision reports are not out in the field writing citations. This is the"two-edged sword." The City recovered 4.7% ($10,000) of DUI cost recovery monies,and had we had the highest number of 30-day impounds in a year time period. TRAFFIC UNIT PERSONNEL Traffic Unit personnel consist of Officers John Bledsoe, Greg Gallo, Tom Owen,Jeff Booth, and Colleen Kevany. Sergeant Steve Tolley supervised the unit working under Lieutenant Jim English, the Day Watch Commander. Officer Gallo replaced Officer Gary Nemeth who was ' unable to complete training. Officers Booth and Kevany replaced Officers Dye and Mullin who received medical retirements. 1 1 1 PROGRAMS 1 OTS Grant The Office of Traffic Safety Grant was completed and OTS approved the final report in September. Several pieces of equipment were purchased during 2002 with grant funding. They included electronic identification readers, laser units, and recording devices for each officer.A number of the grant's goals and objectives wereaccomplished with great success. Most of the goals that were not attained were directly due to manpower shortages. 1 San Luis Obispo Traffic Committee 1 Public works and the police department continued to work together on traffic related issues and the relationship between the departments continued to improve. The committee met a number of times and worked on issues involving signage, radar surveys, and specific collision locations. 1 Two locations that received a lot of the committee's attention were Oructt Road and North Broad St. 1 DUI Enforcement This is a critical area in the overall traffic safety program. Officers arrested 493 DUI drivers, 1 which is a 25%increase when compared to 392 arrests made in 2001. This was a night watch objective and this focused effort proved to be a success. 1 DUI Task Force The unit stayed involved with the Task Force with Officer Bledsoe being the Department's representative. The task force meets monthly and is heavily involved in DUI education. Members include law enforcement, County Drug and Alcohol, and Mothers Against Drunk . Drivers. The Task Force participated in four Fanners Markets throughout the County providing DUI prevention information to the public. 1 DUI Checkpoints There were four DUI checkpoints scheduled during the year with two of them taking place. Two were canceled because of manpower shortages and weather. The two checkpoints took place in the 1000 block of Marsh and at Beebee and South. Six DUI drivers were arrested and over 600 1 vehicles passed through during the checkpoints. Vehicle Impound Program 1 This area was a strong focus of the Traffic Safety Unit and the entire patrol division. This involves impounding a driver's vehicle for 30 days if they are stopped and arrested for driving on a suspended drivers license. The Department impounded 137 vehicles under the authority of 1 Vehicle Code Section 14602.6. 1 2 Bicycle Safety Rodeo The Bicycle Rodeo was conducted again for the fifth year in a row. This is a collaborative event between the Police Department, Parks and Recreation Department, SLO Bicycle Club, and private business. Over 240 children took part in the Rodeo, which was coordinated by Officer John Bledsoe, Carolyn Goosens,and Rich Ogdon from Parks and Recreation. Fifty bicycle helmets and three bicycles were given out to participants. Copelands, Foothill Cyclery,and A Better Bike Shop donated the bicycles. Bicycle Safety— Elementary School Program The Traffic Safety Unit was again involved in bringing bicycle safety programs to the elementary schools in the City. Officer Bledsoe took the lead and helped bring a bicycle stunt ' group called"Wheels of Freestyle"to the schools. The group covered subjects from bicycle safety to drug use.

' Occupant Protection — Seat Belt Enforcement This is a high priority for the Traffic Safety Unit and is one of the most significant issues that reduce the number of citizens who are injured in collisions. The Department wrote 1,049 seatbelt citations,which was 21%of the overall hazardous citations that were issued. We were ' also involved in the"Buckle up America"campaign and"Click it or Ticket"week. These focused programs are aimed at increasing seatbelt use. Media Relations The Traffic Safety Unit.maintained an active and positive media campaign. The most significant component was the KSBY on Patrol program. Officer Kevany took over the responsibility of ' providing weekly information to KSBY about our enforcement efforts in specific areas. The unit also did interviews with different members of the media about issues such as DUI and seatbelt enforcement. Sergeant Tolley did an hour long call-in talk show with KVEC specifically about traffic problems in the community. American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) — "55 Alive" Officers Gallo and Owen spoke to a group of retired citizens at General Hospital about a variety of issues including safe driving techniques and the Vehicle Code.

TRAFFIC INDEX — 14.7 The traffic index,the ratio of hazardous citations issued divided by the number of injury and fatal collisions, is a gauge of how effective a traffic safety program is. OTS considers an ' enforcement index of 25 to be the minimum effective rate. In cities where there is high tourism, the rate is expected to be between 25-35 as tourists are not aware of traffic issues and problem areas and are therefore more likely to commit violations. The current traffic index for the city of San Luis Obispo is 14.7-computed by dividing the 4,837 hazardous-citations issued by 327 injury and fatal collisions that occurred in 2002. ' An increase in education and enforcement efforts are necessary to reduce collisions. These efforts are hampered by the manpower shortage caused by injuries and job openings or new personnel in training. Fewer available officers were required to handle a larger share of the ' workload. The result: less time for random enforcement activities. TRAFFIC SAFETY UNIT GOALS for 2003 Complete major collision call-out protocol and policy. tTake the lead in improving the traffic index to above 20.. ' Reduce collisions on Santa Rosa St. by 20%through enforcement and creative problem solving. Increase seatbelt enforcement by 50%.
