BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Federal and State law provides standards for certain trucks (known as STAA trucks) to utilize specific routes. The trucks can have an overall length that exceeds the California limit of 65 feet. (See Exhibits A and B.) The City, in the late 1980's, implemented this program through the Traffic Resolutionthat listed these specific routes. Section 8 - Weight Limit/Commercial-Vehicle Restrictions B. The streets or portions of streets listed below are hereby defined and established as routes for vehicles within the length limitations described in Section 35401.5 of the Vehicle Code and shall be governed by the provisions of the Traffic Ordinance. Beckman Road south of Victor Road Cherokee Lane north of Highway 99 ramps at Century Boulevard Hutchins Street south of Kettleman Lane Kettleman Lane Lower Sacramento Road south of Turner Road Stockton Street Turner Road west of Lower Sacramento Road (S) Victor Road At the time of implementation, staff had the understanding that these trucks could leave the route to directly access terminals on streets that were not specifically designated. In the intervening years, Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) have refined the program and their procedures and are requesting that all routes be either signed or indicated on maps that are easily available to the public. In addition, the CHP has increased their enforcement of these rules. This has led to specific requestsfor designation of Guild Avenue, and staff anticipates additional requests. In order to improve our response time to such requests, staff is recommending that the Traffic Resolution be modified to allow the Public Works Directorto designate these routes. FISCAL IMPACT: Since signs are optional and staff anticipates mainly relying on a published map, implementation costs are minimal and can be absorbed within the operating budget. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable. Richard C.
