North Hill Avenue Overview Topeka Street Villa Street Washington Blvd Mountain Street Orange Grove Blvd • Approximately 1. 4 mile corridor • Provides full access/egress to freeway I-210 • ADT 8,700 (north of Orange Grove) to 17,000 (south of Orange Grove Blvd)

North Hill Avenue Overview Topeka Street Villa Street Washington Blvd Mountain Street Orange Grove Blvd • Speed Limit: 35 mph (south of Washington), 30 mph (north of Washington) • Four signalized intersections; 11 intersections with stop control on side street, and numerous driveways

Identified Problems • Speeding • Driver behavior • Difficulty entering and exiting driveways • Difficulty for pedestrians to cross the street • Lack of enforcement

Solution – Traffic Calming Methods Roundabout/Traffic Circle Bulb-outs Source: LADOT

Solution – Roundabout • 15-25 mph • Forces drivers to slow as they approach • Limits drivers' circulating and exit speed • Reduce injury crashes by 75 percent compared with signalized intersections Source: Minnesota Department of Transportation

Examples – Roundabout Azusa: Sierra Madre Ave & Macneil Dr Long Beach: Park Ave & Vista St

Solution – Bulb-out • Reduce crossing distance • Provide better visibility between pedestrians and motorists • Calm Traffic • Provide room for streetscape improvements Source: http://www.westsideaction.com/

Examples – Bulb-out Artesia: Pioneer Blvd & 186 th St Pasadena City Hall
