RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE CITY ENGINEER TO APPROVE INSTALLATION OF
"NO U-TURN" SIGNS AT THE INTERSECTION OF "F" AVENUE AND
E. 28TH STREET TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC SAFETY AND CIRCULATION
WHEREAS, Mr. Wes Braddock, Principal of Sweetwater High School, has
requested installation of "No U-turn" signs at the intersection of "F" Avenue and E. 28th Street to
improve traffic safety and circulation; and
WHEREAS, City staff visited the site during peak school drop-off / pick-up periods
and witnessed drivers making U-turns from both the southbound and westbound approaches.
The geometry of this intersection does not support this type of maneuver. This type of
maneuver severely disrupts traffic circulation and poses a threat to driver and pedestrian safety
given the proximity to the school and student drop-off / pick-up area; and
WHEREAS, at their meeting on August 12, 2009, the Traffic Safety Committee
approved the staff recommendation to install "No U-turn" signs at the intersection of "F" Avenue
and E. 28th Street to improve traffic safety and circulation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
National City that the City Engineer is authorized to approve installation of "No U-turn" signs at
the intersection of "F" Avenue and E. 28th Street for both the southbound and westbound
approaches to improve traffic safety and circulation.
