Some highlights: <br />. There is a good relationship with Roseville Engineering <br />and the Traffic Safety Committee which consists of the <br />Police Chief, City Manager and the City Engineer. <br />. Fairview by Rosedale is the busiest short section of <br />street in the county. <br />. The Rosedale area County road semaphores are State of the <br />Art and have increased safety whi3e decreasing <br />congestion. <br />. Smooth traffic flow leads to reduced accidents. <br />. Biggest cause of accidents is inattentiveness (seconded <br />by Chief Zelinsky and D.C. Alleva). <br />. Only the State can set speed limits -- cities go through <br />counties who apply to the State for speed regulations. <br />. Engineering rule of thumb is 5 accidents of the same type <br />�nerit review of the locations. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS�: <br />. Education - on traffic control devices, e.g. if signal is <br />out it should be treated as a red signal � a green <br />signal. <br />. Keep up goad work by the Traffic Safety Committee. <br />
