Traffic Circle

 


A group of 50 residents gathered with city staff to come up with a better solution to this quick build project. The city is responding to citizen review.

Poor driver, he had chance. 50 people all over eye-balling him. He did better than many would have.

Skip ahead to 1:00 to see a car jet around the back side of everything.

It was great for the Encinitas Director of Engineering to see up close and personal how the traffic circle works in practice.

One big problem, legal liability. Because the city created a report documenting a hazard, there must be a mitigation. Please note one of the primary original complaints involved poor sightlines for N bound vehicles on Andrew. The same path as the truck in the video. 

It is time to reassess the original complaint. The shrubs that blocked safe views have been removed. If the premise is changed, the analysis of safety level can be changed also.
