CITY COUNCIL m�TLZVG
O=rBER 1, 1986
Council was informed that in May 1985, the Public Works
Dimctor directed the installation of a "No Right Turn on
Red" sign prohibiting the eastbou d -northbound turn
movement on Lodi Avenue at Ham Lane during a red signal
indication. This was done after a number of ccnplaints had
been received regarding conflicts (near accidents) between
vehicles making a right turn on red and those turning left
onto Ha. -n Lane with the left armr signal.
In June 1986, the City Council ordered the rmov J of the
sign. Since then, the Citv has received oral and written
conplaints over the removal and, on September 17, 1926, t}:e
Council directed the staff to study thir w -)d si,ailar
situations within the City.
Council was apprised that there are relatively few similar
situations in the City: signaled intersections with
protected left turn phase onto e.^e lane.
There are no established "warrants" for "No Right Turn on
Red" prohibitions.
Information and diagrams regarding the subject were
presex.ted for Council's perusal. A lengthy discussion
followed with questions being directed to Staff.
Council Member Pinkerton moved that the subject sign not be
replaced, because the original placement of the sign was a
staff decision.
The motion was seconded by Mayor Reid but failed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Council Member Pinkerton
Noes: Council Members - Fiinchman, Olson, Snider,
and Reid (Mayor)

directed that "No Right Turn on Red" signing be established
at five locations at Kettleman Lane and Hutchins Street,

and Turner Road and Church Street/Rivergate Drive.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Mem:1--nrs - Hinchman, Olson, and Reid
