Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 4.15 Traffic and CirculationCrosswalks. The California Vehicle Code defines a crosswalk as the portion of a roadwayat an intersection that is an extension of the curb and property lines of the intersecting street, oris any other portion of a roadway that is marked as a pedestrian crossing location by paintedlines. A marked crosswalk is delineated by white or yellow painted markings on the pavement.Crosswalks adjacent to or within 600 feet of a school building or grounds or along a suggestedroute to school are painted yellow; all other painted crosswalks are white. Although driverslegally must yield to pedestrians in any crosswalk (marked or unmarked), marking encouragespedestrians to use particular crossings. The City maintains marked crosswalks at intersectionswhere:• There is substantial conflict between vehicle and pedestrian movement• Significant pedestrian concentrations occur• Pedestrians could not otherwise recognize the proper place to cross• Traffic movements are controlledSuch locations include school crossings and signalized and four way stop intersections. In aneffort to improve the “pedestrian friendliness” of the local circulation system, the City hasundertaken a number of programs, which include the following:• Lowered Speed Limits• Restriping• School Traffic Safety Programs• Improved Pedestrian SignalsPedestrian System Deficiencies. The main deficiency of the Project Area’s pedestriansystem is its discontinuity. A goal of the Project is to increase the connectivity of the six distinctneighborhoods. Many sections of streets lack sidewalks, and pedestrian connections betweenkey use areas are rare and often in need of repair. There are limited crosswalks in some key useareas, and, in some instances, the pedestrian signal phases may be too short for some walkers.Traffic calming measures would also improve the walkability of many Project Areaneighborhoods. Pedestrian system deficiencies identified in the Project Area include:• Several main streets very wide with high traffic volumes• Cars driving above speed limits (posted speed limit between 40 and 55 mph)• Sidewalks lacking in some areas• Few sidewalk amenities where sidewalks are presente. Planned Roadway Improvements. Several long-term roadway and intersectionimprovement projects have been identified in the City’s 2005 General Plan EIR that would berequired to maintain the City’s performance standards under Year 2025 conditions. Other Cityimprovements have been identified through the Parklands Specific Plan Traffic Study that arefunded and planned for implementation. Table 4.15-4 lists those improvements that have beenidentified. These improvements are incorporated into the year 2025 buildout traffic scenario.The new roadway “A” Street, programmed to extend from Saticoy Avenue to Wells Road,would connect to the existing segment of Carlos Street located north of the Country Estates4.15-9City of Ventura

See text below for further information.Mobile Home Park and west of the Project Area. When fully constructed, this roadway willprovide a direct connection between the Parklands Specific Plan area and Saticoy Avenue.Interim improvements are proposed for the segment of Telegraph Road from Saticoy Avenue toWells Road and the segment of Wells Road between Telegraph and Carlos Street. The UCHansen Trust Project resulted in the City deciding to maintain and enhance Telephone WellsRoads as two-lane roads (Secondary Arterials) until traffic volumes necessitate the conversionto a four-lane road. The Secondary Arterial classification in the General Plan preserves thepotential for the streets to be expanded if needed. In the event that future traffic volumesnecessitate the conversion of these streets to four lanes, the street cross sections shall bedetermined by the City of Ventura Community Development Department.Committed roadway and intersection improvements listed in Table 4.15-4, were assumed in theYear 2025 analysis provided in this traffic study. Frontage improvements planned to occur inconjunction with the Project are described below.4.15-10City of Ventura
