Traffic and pedestrian signals are provided at the intersections of Monterey Road with Main
Avenue, Second Street, and Dunne Avenue. Controlled pedestrian crossings are provided
at these locations. New traffic signals will be installed at the intersection of Monterey Road

pedestrian crossing of Monterey Road near the parking structure enhancing its

Traffic Volumes and Roadway Operations
The following table
(Table 1-3)presents the existing and projected future daily two-way
roadway segment traffic volumes and levels of service (LOS) for roadways in the Station
Area from the DEIR for City’s 2035 General Plan. LOS is a qualitative description of roadway
operations with LOS A representing conditions with little to no congestion and LOS F
representing conditions where the roadway is over capacity for several hours of the day.
These roadways are operating at LOS C (which represents a sufficient operating level) and
LOS D (which represents stable operations).
