SR 05:240 - Laserfiche WebLink

Montevino Drive where traffic backups were eliminated when the signal replaced the previous 4-way stop. Installing a traffic signal at this intersection would improve pedestrian safety, while reducing delay for Pleasanton residents. The 1996 General Plan shows this intersection as a future traffic signal location. Vineyard Avenue at Ruby Hill Boulevard Gateway Traffic Metering - LOS Policy Exemption All traffic model forecasts assume that westbound traffic on Vineyard Avenue will be metered in the morning to allow no more than 200 vehicles per hour to enter the City from the east. This requires a gateway LOS exemption as this may result in high enough delays on the westbound approach to the intersection that overall intersection delay exceeds LOS D. Without metering, traffic volumes along the Vineyard Corridor may increase by up to 1,000 vehicles per hour and traffic volumes and delays downstream from Vineyard Avenue would also increase. West Las Positas Boulevard at Muirwood Drive Mitigation - Construct new speed sensitive traffic signal In all Year 2025 scenarios, the flow of traffic along West Las Positas Boulevard exceeds the capacity of the stop sign controls at this intersection, resulting in LOS F conditions on West Las Positas Boulevard. Traffic already backs up at this intersection during the morning peak school traffic period as was mentioned by residents at neighborhood workshops. These stop sign controls have far less capacity than traffic signal control. This was recently demonstrated at Vineyard Avenue at Montevino Drive where traffic backups were eliminated when the signal replaced the previous 4-way stop. Installing a speed sensitive traffic signal at this intersection would improve pedestrian safety, while reducing delay for Pleasanton residents. West Las Positas Boulevard at Payne Road Mitigation - Construct new traffic signal In all Year 2025 scenarios, the flow of traffic along West Las Positas Boulevard becomes so continuous, that not enough gaps are available for drivers on Payne Road to turn left at the intersection. The extreme delay on Payne Road creates LOS F conditions at the intersection. Limiting Payne Road drivers to right turns only would increase safety and reduce overall delay at the intersection, but would probably increase traffic on Singletree Way and Dorman Road. The 1996 General Plan shows this intersection as a future traffic signal location.
