(a)
Establish Marked Crosswalks. The City Traffic Engineer may, in conformance with the traffic study requirements set forth in the CAMUTCD and the California Vehicle Code, designate, establish and maintain marked crosswalks at intersections and other places; additionally:
(1)
Configuration, signing and pavement markings for marked crosswalks shall conform to the requirements of the CAMUTCD and the California Vehicle Code.
(2)
Other than marked pedestrian crosswalks at intersections, no other marked crosswalk shall be established in any block which is less than four hundred feet (400′) in length. Elsewhere, not more than one additional marked crosswalk shall be established in any one block, such marked crosswalk shall be located at or near mid-block.
(3)
The City Traffic Engineer shall establish a no parking or standing zone of not less than twenty feet (20′) on each traffic approach of the marked crosswalk. However, the length of the no parking or standing zone shall be increased in length at the rate of one foot (1′) per each mile per hour increase in the posted speed limit or as required to address adverse street characteristics or geometrics.
(4)
School crosswalks shall be installed in conformance with the requirements and standards of the CAMUTCD and the California Vehicle Code.
(5)
The City Traffic Engineer may enhance the visibility of a marked crosswalk with the installation of electronic signing, amber flashing warning beacons, raised reflective pavement markers, increased safety lighting, or other CAMUTCD-approved devices. A pedestrian signal may be considered if the location of the marked crosswalk meets the warrant criteria defined in the CAMUTCD.
(b)
Removal of Marked Crosswalks. The City Traffic Engineer may recommend the removal of a marked crosswalk based on a traffic study finding that the marked crosswalk is no longer needed. The traffic study, process and removal of the marked crosswalk shall conform to the requirements of the California Vehicle Code Section 21950.5.
