of a left-turn protected County and the City of Orange." The City owns
signal phase on Batavia St. the south 1eg while the other three Iegs of the

Margaret J. Hayes Batavia St. terminates at Lincoln Ave. , the
745 W. Westway Ave. north leg of the intersection provides access
Orange, CA 92665 . into and out of the R.J. Noble Construction Co.
faciZity. Left turning .Zanes are striped on
RECOMMElIIDATION: Deny a11 approaches except for southbound exiting
from the R.J. Noble driveway.
A Zeft turn protected signal warrant study has
been conducted on the basisTof traffie volumes,
accident hzstory, vehicu.Zar delay a,nd speed
� c.haracteristics. Both AM and PM peak hour
traffic counts were taken at this intersect�,on
on Batavia Street.
In the AM peak traffic hour, a hi gher traffic
activity is observed from the construction
faci.Zity, while relatively .Iow northbound
traffic proceeds on Batavia Street. The
� reverse occurs d uring the PN1 peak hour. The
southbound traffic on Batavia St. is heavy,
however, 'traffic entering into and exiting out
of the constructi.on facility drops significant.Zy.
Neither peak hour �raffic satisfies t_he
minimum requirement for a left turn signal phase `
on Batavia Street.
Out of 5 reported traffic aecidents at this
in�t�ersection since I.984, none of them are
potentially correctable with the insta.Zlation
of a protected left turn phase on Batavia Street.
Field inspections also fail to suggest any .
excessi ve traffic delay on Batavia Street.
Travel speed near the intersection during the E
peak traffic hours is we1l within the
posted speed limits.
