How can I get a streetlight installed on my street? The County Board of Supervisors has adopted a policy for the installation of street lights on County roads (Board Resolution No. 71-4871). This policy states that the County will consider installing street lights when one or more of the following conditions occur:
A. At an intersection where there is a traffic volume of at least 2,000 vehicles per day on one street and at least 1,000 vehicles per day on the other street.
B. At an intersection where there is channelization of traffic if there is sufficient use of the intersection during the night to justify the installation of street lights.
C. At street locations other than intersections where there are special hazards due to adverse or restricted alignment, or clearance or sight distance hazards such as railroad crossings and narrow bridges, and if experience has indicated that lesser warning devices will not be effective.
D. At street locations where two or more accidents of a type which might have been prevented by street lighting have occurred within a 12 month period.
The County will consider the installation of street lights at intersections under the following circumstances:
A. If, at a 4 legged intersection, there are at least 18 dwellings or businesses located within 330 feet of the intersection.
B. If, at a "T" or "L" intersection, there are at least 14 dwellings or businesses located within 330 feet of the intersection.
If you think you meet these requirements, contact the Resource Management Agency to request a street light.

How do I get centerline stripes painted on my street?If your street is a major system street, the factors to be evaluated in determining the necessity of striping the street are as follows:
1. Average Daily Traffic volume not less than 300 vehicles.
2. Designated as a through highways by the Board of Supervisors (all
intersecting streets are required to stop).
3. Special hazard due to alignment or surface conditions.
4. Multi-lane facility.
5. High motor vehicle accident rate.
6. School bus route.
7. Heavy fog area.
8. Predominantly recreational traffic route or service.
Any of the above conditions qualifies a major system street for striping if the paved surface is at least 20 feet wide.
If your street is a minor system street, the factors to be evaluated in determining the necessity of striping a minor street are as follows:
1. Average daily traffic volume not less than 200 vehicles.
2. Frequent hazardous horizontal or vertical curves with sub-standard sight distance.
3. Continuity with other striped routes.
4. Designated through highway.
5. High motor vehicle accident rate.
6. School bus route.
7. Heavy fog area.
8. No internal subdivision street will be striped unless it qualifies for striping under one of the factors listed above.
Any of the above conditions may qualify a minor system street for striping if the paved surface is at least 18 feet wide and if monies are available to install and maintain the stripe.
If you think your street meets the above requirements, contact the Resource Management Agency to request centerline striping.

How do I get edge lines painted on my street? The County will consider installing edge lines (aka fog lines) on a street based on the following criteria:
I. Minor System Roadways - Right edge line may be placed on the minor system if:
A. The roadway has a centerline stripe, the pavement width is at least 26 feet, and
B. The road is located in a heavy fog area, or
C. The horizontal alignment of the road restricts the safe traveling speed to less than 45 miles per hour.
II. Major System Roadways - Right edge line may be placed on the select system if:
A. The roadway has a centerline stripe, the pavement width is at least 26 feet, and
B. The road is located in a heavy fog area, or
C. The horizontal alignment of the road restricts the safe traveling speed to less than 45 miles per hour, or
D. The annual average daily traffic is at least 500 vehicles per day.
III. Residence District - Right edge line should not be installed on roadways within a residence district as defined in the California Vehicle Code.
IV. Spot Locations - Regardless of any other conditions, right edge stripe may be installed at spot locations to delineate narrowing of the pavement or narrow bridge or other traffic hazards.
If you think your street qualifies for edge lines under the above guidelines, contact the Resource Management Agency.
People that work at the building across the street park in front of my house. Can I put "No Parking" signs up in front of my house?
The California Vehicle Code states that "no person shall place…or display upon, or in view of, any highway any unofficial sign…or any sign which purports to be an official traffic control device or which attempts to direct the movement of traffic…" As a result, it is a violation of the Vehicle Code for a person to install any traffic control devices on their property. However, the Vehicle Code does authorize cities and counties to regulate traffic by means of official traffic control devices. Therefore, it is recommended that County residents contact the Resource Management Agency to request the installation of traffic control devices such as "No Parking" signs.
