Maintenance assigned this issue to David Y., Traffic Engineer

Neighbor: it took 2 years to get ped cross walks/ ladder striping on Rollingwood at Cottonwood, so hang in there for the long haul!

Still waiting for maintenance Tim to contact me

David Y is AWESOME! And super helpful.! But...I thought that Rollingwood was precluded from speed bumps due to traffic engineering guidelines for the types of streets that can have bumps installed? Hope I'm wrong! Speed bumps would be a great safety measure.

Hopefully, David Y helps with speed bumps all along Rollingwood. They are not built in. Just want safer streets.

Yes! Speed bumps at intervals on Rollingwood would be a great safety measure!

Another neighbor who lives near Columbus Pkwy also inquired about speed bumps on CPkwy. But per David, they are pricey to install. We'll see what David says, but they may be cost prohibitive on Rllgwood

Q: What are SPEED HUMPS and can the COV install them on my street?
A: A speed hump is a rounded device used to reduce vehicle speed and volume on
residential streets. Speed humps are placed across the road to slow traffic and are often
installed in a series of several humps in order to prevent cars from speeding before and
after the hump.

The City of Vallejo no longer has a speed hump program; residents may still have
speed humps installed on their streets if they meet the speed hump requirements AND
can provide a funding source.

It should be noted and understood that there are many disadvantages to the installation of speed humps such as speeding after and between speed humps, increased noise from vehicles with poor suspension going over speed humps and items bouncing around truck beds and trunks, increased physical pain for passengers with medical problems, increased pollution from vehicles slowing and
accelerating, reduction in emergency response times, and ambulances carrying passengers must slow to almost a stop before crossing a speed hump.

Speeding and unsafe driving on this street is a huge concern for the whole neighborhood, especially when kids are walking to and from Pennycook elementary school throughout the day. Bringing back crossing guards at Baywood, Fernwood, and Georgia would be a start. Occasional police monitoring would also be a way to slow traffic down.

Will forward request to PD for enforcement, traffic calming program is going through process to restart.

Will also ask PD about crossing guards, on whether it is handled by PD or the school district.

DL and David, unfortunately it's already been determined that Rollingwood is NOT eligible for speed bumps. It doesn't meet the traffic engineering criteria for installation of speed bumps, regardless of cost, budget, etc. Speed bumps are no longer an option for traffic calming. So, can we focus on a Plan B?

Can we consider: a) placement of stop signs, b) street markings/painting the numbers "25" to indicate the street's speed limit, c) more white "Speed Limit 25" signs along the periphery? Are any of these proactive steps possible?

What about the "Your Speed" electronic sign that displays a driver's speed as they pass by?

Here's an idea: the neighborhood could organize "safety actions" anywhere along Rollingwood whereby small groups of neighbors wave signs that read "slow down" or simply shout "slow down!" at speeding cars (from a safe distance, of course). That might make a captivating local evening news story!

The traffic calming program will include more than just speed humps, things like the items previous mentioned along with bulb outs, traffic circles, etc that are not vertical. Emergency response times are always a potential issue on streets like Rollingwood that have residential frontage but also serve as a response route.

Staff is working on the policy and implementation details, once that is complete the program will be restarted.

If we cannot get speed bumps, can we get a more stop sign, and make a 3 way stop on Rollingwood Dr and Doyle Dr. because the is continous speeding and multiple accidents on Rollingwood Dr.

I also see lots of speeding down Rollingwood and as a resident of this area would be interested in traffic calming measures. People area running stop signs and red lights in this area as well

Speed-calming Roundabouts are the best bet for slowing down traffic in residential neighborhoods while maintaining overall acceptable traffic flow rates. And, because they physically force traffic to slow down there is no need for stop signs and stoplights (which are often disregarded), or police presence to enforce the set speed limits. These are used extensively in Holland and other countries with large driving populationsand should be evaluated in Vallejo to mitigate the increasingly dangerous environment posed to all citizens by scofflaws who routinely run stop signs, accelerate red stop lights and have turned our city streets into a dangerous free-for-all of reckless speeding and road antics!

There was a new speeding accident on 6/18 on the corner of Rollingwood and Brentwood. The vehicle was travelling so fast that it wiped out a 3 foot retaining wall and went into the yard. The only thing stopping the vehicle which was totalled was a tree. Thank God they did not go into my neighbors house. Please take some measures to slow traffic on Rollingwood. I am not an engineer, but this area has had at least 4 vehicles hop the curbs and into yards in this area. Something is needed
