(See site vicinity map attached Exhibit "A".) Concern was expressed for traffic safety as vehicles attempt to exit from Gas Company driveways onto 12th Street. Sight restriction caused by large trucks parking adjacent to the Gas Company driveways was cited as the reason for this concern. See attached Exhibit "C". An evaluation of traffic and parking conditions has been conducted. Based on the results of this evaluation, it is recommended that parking be prohibited on the south side of 12th Street from Placerita Canyon Road to 450' east of Placerita Canyon Road. See attached Exhibit "B". CONDITIONS 12th Street is a two-lane street serving a commercial/residential area. The roadway is approximately 26 feet wide with no improvements on either side. The Southern California Gas Company is located on the southeast comer. of 12th Street and Placerita Canyon Road. Vehicles enter and exit the Gas Company parking area via two driveways on 12th Street. See attached Exhibit "B". DISCUSSION There are no accidents on record in the three-year period through March, 1990, involving traffic exiting either Gas Company driveway. However, in view of the presence of certain parked vehicles that may. impair visibility for motorists exiting the Gas Company yard, it is recommended that the suggested parking restriction be imposed.
