Street and Lemon Drive. ``The objective is to improve the safety at intersections so you don't have accidents,'' said Bill Golubics, a city traffic engineer. ``We're trying to give the public a safer street system.'' The city performed traffic studies at 10 intersections, and determined that two of them needed signals, based on traffic volume, accident history and pedestrian A pedestrian is a person travelling on foot, whether walking or running.

The proposed signal at Alamo and Lemon is especially important because of the newly constructed 25,000-square-foot Boys & Girls Club building at 2850 Lemon Drive near Rancho ran·cho n. pl. ran·chos Southwestern U.S. 1.

Traffic studies show that approximately 18,000 vehicles pass through the Alamo/Lemon intersection each day, and 12,000 vehicles pass through the Erringer/Arcane intersection, Golubics said. From 1993 to 1995, police records show, eight traffic collision occurred at the Erringer/Arcane intersection that could have been avoided with traffic signal control. At the Alamo/Lemon intersection, four collisions occurred. If approved, funding for the signals would come from developer fees and the city's General Fund, Golubics said. |
