COUNCIL ACTION:
•
Arterial Speed Limit Study and Recommended Speed Limit
Changes
Submitted by: Chris Waarvick, Director of Public Works
Joan Davenport, Supervising Traffic Engineer
Council Meeting of June 10, 2008
Background
Speed limits are established as a means to balance traffic safety and efficiency.
Washington State law requires the speed limit for streets within cities to be 25 miles per
hour unless posted otherwise. Local governments may alter the speed limit on Arterial
Streets after traffic and engineering analysis (RCW 46.61.415). Federal Standards
(Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, MUTCD) recommend review of Arterial
street speed limits every five years. The City of Yakima has not conducted a
comprehensive speed limit study since 1981 although some adjustments for individual
streets have been made. The Yakima Municipal Code 9.50.370 governs speed limits.
General Findings from Nationwide Speed Limit Studies
A number of studies have been conducted over the years to determine the effect of
changing speed limits and driver behavior. In general, these studies conclude the
following basic principals.
1. In general, motorists do not alter travel speeds to conform to the posted speed
• limit, they drive the speed perceived to be a reasonable given the traffic and road
conditions. This is the basic concept of the "prevailing speed" for a street.
2. Posting a lower speed limit does not decrease speeding nor does it reduce
accidents.
3. Posting a higher speed limit does not create a corresponding increase in speeds.
Data Collection
The Traffic Engineering division collects information on the volume and speed of traffic
for all Arterial Streets, on a three -year rotation. The City of Yakima uses a round
pneumatic road tube traffic counter system. This methodology is reported to be
comparable to data collected using radar equipment and is the least conspicuous method
of collecting data, thereby yielding a good representation of existing conditions. The field
data is downloaded to a computer program that calculates various measures of travel
speed as well as volume of traffic.
•
Determining Appropriate Speed Limits
The 85 Percentile Speed is most often used in describing "prevailing" speed of existing
traffic. This measure identifies the speed that 85 percent of all vehicles are traveling at or
below. For evaluation purposes, the 85 Percentile Speed is compared to the posted
speed limit. If there is more than a 7 -mile per hour difference, the speed limit and
conditions for those street segments are reviewed. Factors in the review include:
• Prevailing speed of existing traffic
• Accident history
Final Report to City Council on Speed Limit Study
June 10, 2008
Page 1 of 5
• Traffic control
• Physical features of the roadway
• Land use, driveways and presence of pedestrians
Once established, the speed limit should be continuous and consistent, with changes in
the speed only at logical or obvious changes in conditions. The speed limit must be
enforceable. Public Works staff worked closed with the Yakima Police Patrol staff in
preparing these recommendations.
Public Comments
The draft changes to the Speed Limit Ordinance (Yakima Municipal Code 9. 50.370)
were presented to the City Council Transportation and Transit Committee on February
20, 2008, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee on March 14, 2008 and a
Work session of the full City Council on April 8, 2008. A Press Release was issued by
the City on April 15, 2008 and a number of media stories reported on the study which
may result in changes to posted speed limits. In addition, an open house was conducted
at City Hall on April 17 to provide additional opportunity for comment. The following
comments were received from citizens regarding proposed changes in the posted speed
limits on Arterial Streets.
1. Doug Jenkins — opposes raising any speed limits in general within the City of
Yakima.
2. Jan Baldomino, Folsom Ave — opposes raising any speed limits without more
police enforcement.
3. Susan Maza, 14000 Marble Road — Opposes increasing speed limits (submitted
letter)
4. Wilma Koski, 21 N 94 Place — submitted letter, summarized as follows
• Leave 35 MPH speed limit on 1 Street, Nob Hill, 16 Ave and 40 Ave;
• Increase Washington Ave between 24 Ave to 40 Ave to 40 MPH
• Increase Washington Ave between 40 Ave to 64 Ave to 45 MPH
• Tieton Drive and Summitview west of 72 Ave should be 40 MPH
• Various other suggestions including the need for center turn lanes and access
restrictions on busy'arterial streets
5. Jim Milton, 11605 Occidental Ave - Suggests that Occidental Ave should be
raised to 45 MPH and Washington Avenue should be 45 MPH
6. Edward Lisowski, 2705 W Nob Hill Blvd — Concerned that raising speed limit on
Nob Hill Boulevard between 24 and 40 Avenues will create safety problems for
pedestrians crossing Nob Hill Boulevard.
7. Victoria Yockey, 4709 W Lincoln Ave — Requests reduced speed limit on Lincoln
Avenue between 42 Ave and Bitterroot Way, adjacent to Gilbert Park. She
suggested 20 MPH but would be satisfied with a 25 MPH speed limit.
8. Brian Seer and other citizens contacted staff — concern that the newly
reconstructed River Road between 16 Avenue and Fruitvale Boulevard should
be posted higher than 25 MPH. [* *The speed study data indicated an average
85' Percentile Speed of 36 MPH. However, during the reconstruction project of
River Road, several property owners want assurance that the speed limit would
remain at 25 MPH From a technical point, the 25 MPH speed limit may be un-
enforceable.]

Policy on Speed Limit Sign Placement
The recommended speed limit changes will require approximately 160 new signs. Speed
limit signing must conform to the latest version of the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (MUTCD) with respect to color, minimum size and height, reflectivity
and content. The following general policies are required by the State of Washington and
the MUTCD.
• Speed limit signs shall be placed at points of change from one speed limit to
another.
• Each arterial street entrance into the city should be signed for speed limit and the
general speed limit (25 miles per hour unless posted otherwise).
• Spacing of speed limit signs along arterial streets should not be less than 2500 feet
and should be within 500 feet of another arterial street intersection.
• A. REDUCED SPEED AHEAD advisory sign is generally not recommended in
Urban Areas where speeds are generally low and changes frequently. However, if
the speed limit is 40 MPH or higher, the REDUCED SPEED AHEAD sign and a
plaque showing new speed may be placed in advance of the change in speed limit.
At the Council work session on April 8, 2008 two suggestions for signing were offered
by Council members.
Suggestion #1: Use the "Oregon Style" speed limit signs because they have
larger numerals (installed on Englewood Avenue).
Staff Recommendation: The speed limit signs referred to as the "Oregon Style"
are 24 inches by 36 inches and not a standards sign plate size used in Yakima.
The standard speed limit sign in Yakima and within Washington State is 24
inches by 30 inches. Staff is interested in uniformity of signs throughout the City
of Yakima and cost - efficiency. For these reasons, staff respectfully recommends
new signs installed with these speed limit changes be consistent with the 24 by 30
inch standard.
Suggestion #2: Install REDUCED SPEED AHEAD signs.
Staff Recommendation: As noted above, these signs are generally not used in
urban areas with speed limits less than 40 miles per hour and are reserved for high
speed locations. However, there are several corridors (portions of Washington
Avenue, Ahtanum, Tieton and 64 Avenue) where the speed limit is
recommended to be 40 miles per hour and this warning sign will be installed near
the transition point to a lower speed in this circumstance.
Implementation of Recommended Changes
Staff respectfully recommends the following actions by City Council.
Review the list of recommended speed limit changes and amendments to Yakima
Municipal Code 9.50.370 included in this report. Direct any modifications to the staff
recommendations.
1. A draft ordinance amending Yakima Municipal Code 9.50.370 is included as
"Item B" of this City Council Agenda Item. The Ordinance can be adopted in
total or modified as directed by Council.

2. The cost to replace speed limit signs included in this ordinance is estimated to be
approximately $14,000. An allocation (possibly from REET2) may be necessary
to support this project, as it was not budgeted in the 2008 supply lines.
3. Staff requests longer than the normal 30 days to implement the signing for this
ordinance change. The draft ordinance indicates 90 days for the effective date.
4. With respect to the above noted City Council suggestions, staff recommends
installing standard size speed limit signs (not the over -sized signs) and will install
warning signs of speed limit changes where warranted.

Subject: Speed Limit Changes
Contact: Traffic Engineer Joan Davenport - 576 -6417
Release Date: Tuesday, April 15, 2008
Speed Limits May be Adjusted on Certain Maior Streets
The City of Yakima is seeking public comments regarding the change of posted
speed limits on some major streets. For the first time in over 30 years a
comprehensive review of speed limits was conducted, resulting in the
recommendations for adjusting the posted speed limit on some of the major
arterial streets. Many changes to the city limits as well as traffic patterns and
volumes have occurred. The Yakima Municipal Code 9.50.370 needed to be
updated to include streets that have been annexed into the city.
Factors in the review include prevailing speed of existing traffic; congestion,
accident history; traffic control; physical features of the roadway; land use,
driveways and presence of pedestrians. Once established, the speed limit should
be continuous and consistent, with changes in the speed only at logical or
obvious changes in conditions.
• Speed Limits must be consistent, realistic and enforceable. The patrol
supervisors of the Yakima Police Department reviewed preliminary results of the
speed limit analysis regarding enforceability and field experience. Based on this
review, a number of changes were made to the list of streets where speed limit
changes are recommended.
An information Public Open House will be held in the Council Chambers of
Yakima City Hal1,129 N. 2nd Street on April 17, 2008 at 5:30 PM.

Dear Joan,
I am writing to voice my opinion on the proposed speed limit increases throughout
Yakima. I feel they are adequate and should not be increased. There are several reasons
for this: -
1. Most arterials have homes very close to or lining one or both sides.
2. Most arterials do not have center turn lanes
3. Some arterials have very narrow lanes
4. Many arterials do not have sidewalks on both sides
5. Schools are on these arterials that accommodate children walking and driving
to /from school.
6. I like the slower pace of Yakima compared to larger cities like Seattle where I
spent my first 45 years of life. There is a more peaceful ambiance this mid-
size town has. That is one reason I like Yakima and came to live here.
7. I like to ride my bike into and around town. The streets are safer at slower
speeds.
We all know that speeders will always increase the driving speed if they feel they can get
away with it. If we increase the speed limits those who tend to speed will push the new
limit as well, making the street more unsafe. If speeders feel they are being unfairly
picked on then they should read the signs and abide by they law. If someone speeds then
they should get a ticket. This is a public safety issue and more.
Currently, we have higher insurance rates (much higher than Seattle, I know) partially
due to the results of speeders. Let's not encourage speeders, the accidents they cause and
increased insurance rates. Do not feel pressure from speeders to increase the speed
limits. You would be changing the limit for the wrong reason.
Sincerely,

Please find attached a petition to reduce the speed limit from 35 mph
to 25 mph on South 96 Avenue between Coolidge Road and
Occidental Road. The' petition has been signed by all residences on
that stretch of road. As you well know this is no longer a county road,
but part of the city. There is no reason to travel at 35 mph on such a
short stretch of road, which has stop signs on both ends, and is now
a residential area.
look forward to hearing from you.

Supervising Traffic Engineer

Yakima, WA 98902
Dear Joan,
•
As a follow up to our telephone conversation, these are my comments regarding the
consideration of speed limit changes in the City of Yakima.
As you know, I work as an outside sales representative and, as such, I drive all over the
city everyday. Because I do so much driving within the city, I believe it gives me an
excellent insight into the traffic issues and problems in Yakima.
It is my opinion, the existing 35 mph speed limits on First Street, 16th Avenue and 40th
Avenue should left alone. When the streets become congested, one simply drives slower
due to the amount of traffic. To lower these limits would be a disservice to those who
drive these streets during times they are not congested.
Speed limits on some other streets need to be raised in order to move traffic where it is
possible. The speed limit on west Washington Avenue between 24th Avenue and 48th
Avenue should be raised to 40 mph and the speed limit on west Washington Avenue from
48th Avenue to 64th Avenue should be raised to 45 mph. These are safe speeds
considering the width and condition of the street. The speed limits on Summitview and
Nob Hill are now 35 mph west of 40th Avenue and the speed limit on Tieton Dr. should be
raised to match the other two arterials. The speed limits on Tieton Drive and on
Summitview west of 72nd Avenue should be raised to 40 mph, this again because the
width and condition of the streets plus traffic flow diminishes west of 72nd Avenue.
The frequency of accidents in Yakima, I believe, have less to do with the speed limits and
more to do with other issues. All of the issues below contribute to frustration and road
rage.
• Yakima has a large percentage of young and older drivers plus drivers who are
driving with out licenses. The young are impatient hence drive too fast and
recklessly, the older drivers usually drive too fast for their reaction times or too
slow which frustrates other drivers and those driving without licenses usually have
little if any concept of traffic rules.
• Few drivers know the rules of a 3 or 4 way stop or even intersection rights -of -way.
• The absence of center turn lanes on most of the major arterials slows traffic,
causes major congestion which leads drivers to use other streets for "short cuts" to
save time causing problems on side streets and causes accidents due to constant
slowing down and speeding up as drivers exit the arterial.
• Limiting entrance and exits to major arterials to street access only.
• Prohibiting business driveways onto major arterials. Examples: the bank on the
• NW corner of the intersection of 40th and Summitview, prohibiting left turns onto
Summitview from the east driveway entrance of Westpark (by the old Shucks
bldg). Realizing, of course, we would have to fix the mess we now have.
• Widening streets so traffic will fit. A school or city transit bus and a full size Dodge
Ram 3500 club cab pickup will not fit side by side on the east or west bound lanes
of Tieton Drive at 16th Avenue. The two vehicles have to jockey for position until
the road widens approximately a block farther west or east.
• Limiting truck traffic to specific arterials.
It frustrates me that at 5 o'clock in the evening it takes me longer to drive from downtown
Yakima to my home on 94th than it does to travel from 1 -90 to the Newport Highway down
Division Street in Spokane. In my job, the traffic problems limit my ability to accomplish
what I'd like during a day's work.
The city of Yakima has always been extremely myopic in their infrastructure projects.
Greater emphasis always seems to be put on the initial cost of a project and not enough
emphasis on whether a greater initial cost would save time, effort and substantial cost in
the long run. Now is when Yakima needs to be buying property along these arterials and
planning for street expansion. I know this is problematic when the city has difficulty
keeping it's exis jn9 streets in pod repair but it must be clone.
Please notify me when this reaches the naxt °level".
Thank you.
