I seem to do these things at the end of the month, don’t I? Last one was Labor Day for July/August, and here it is early November for September/October. So let’s get to it before December starts.
The following are updates from my reading of the papers (which are posted to California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum and misc.transport.road. This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail or Usenet) from Robert Bregoff(2), Patrick Carroll(3), Amar Chaudhary(4), Paul D. DeRocco(5), Alan Mintz(6), Chris Sampang(7)]:Route 1(1,3), Route 2(1), Route 4(1), Route 14(6), Route 29(2), Route 47(7), Route 60(1), Route 77(4), Route 84(1), Route 91(1), Route 110(1), Route 138 (High Desert Corridor)(1), Route 238(1), US 101(1), US 395(5), I-5(1), I-10(1), I-210(1), I-405(1), I-680(1), and I-710 (Gerald Desmond Bridge)(1).
Noted the following article, which has some interesting information but really doesn’t fit well into the site as currently laid out: Grading the Freeways. This article talks about recent reports in Southern California on freeway congestion, and provides rankings of all the routes in terms of congestion and level of service. Some points highlighted are:
-
Half of the freeway system operates at LOS E and F, the two most congested levels, in the morning and afternoon rush hours. Almost 20% of the arterial intersections operate at LOS E and F in the morning rush hours, and just over 20% of the intersections operate at LOS E and F in the afternoon.
-
Freeway monitoring data indicates a highly complex travel pattern for Los Angeles County, with many freeway segments experiencing congestion in both directions during the morning and afternoon rush hours. This differs from the traditional suburban to a central downtown commute patterns.
-
Some Los Angeles County freeways experience heavy congestion in both directions during peak periods. These include: the Santa Monica Freeway (Route 10) between the East LA Interchange and the San Diego Freeway (Route 405); the Golden State Freeway (Route 5) between the Glendale Freeway (Route 2) and the Hollywood Freeway (Route 170); and the Santa Ana Freeway (Route 5) between Lakewood Boulevard (Route 19) and the Orange County line.
Thanks to Robert Bregoff, noted the System Planning Documents for District 4 of Caltrans. I haven’t had the time to go through them in detail, but they contain both the Transportation Corridor Concept Reports (TCCR), which provide a specific “highway operation concept configuration” for the year 2025, and the Route Concept Reports (RCR), which define the 20-year concept for route development from 1985-2005. They also contain the analysis for relinquishment of routes.
Checked the Calnexus page to see if there had been any updates. There weren’t any.
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page. Noted the passage/veto of the following:
-
AB 619 (Blumenfield) Transportation projects: federal funds: delays.
Existing law, the California High-Speed Rail Act, creates the High-Speed Rail Authority to develop and implement a high-speed train system in the state, with specified powers and duties.

This bill would require any entity applying for a contract with the authority for goods or services related to the high-speed train network, as specified, to affirmatively certify whether it had any direct involvement in the deportation of any individuals to extermination camps, work camps, concentration camps, prisoner of war camps, or any similar camps between specified dates during World War II.

The bill would limit the circumstances under which the vehicle owner’s autmobile liability insurance can be subject to liability, and require that automobile insurance policies not be canceled, voided, terminated, rescinded, or nonrenewed on the basis that the private passenger motor vehicle has been made available for personal vehicle sharing. The bill would authorize the insurer of the vehicle to exclude any and all coverage afforded under the vehicle owner’s automobile insurance policy while the vehicle is used by a person other than the owner as part of a personal vehicle sharing program.

Existing law authorizes a disabled person or veteran to apply to the department for the issuance of a distinguishing placard to be used in lieu of the special license plate. Existing law requires the department, prior to issuing the placard to a disabled person or disabled veteran, to require the submission of a certificate signed by a medical professional, as provided, that substantiates the disability of the person or veteran, in certain situations. This bill, in addition, would require the department to accept, in lieu of the certificate signed by a medical professional, a certificate from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs that certifies the applicant is a disabled veteran. This bill would incorporate changes in Section 5007 of the Vehicle Code proposed by AB 2777 that would become operative only if both bills are enacted and this bill is enacted after AB 2777.

SB 906 (Leno) Marriage.
Existing law defines marriage as a personal relation arising out of a civil contract between a man and a woman, to which the consent of the parties capable of making that contract is necessary.

Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the California Transportation Commission. Existing law authorizes the commission to relinquish certain state highway segments to local agencies.

This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City of Lakewood the portion of Route 19 within its city limits or sphere of influence under certain conditions. The bill would revise the description of Route 66 to indicate portions of the route that have been relinquished or that have been authorized to be relinquished, as specified.

The bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 319 of the Streets and Highways Code proposed by SB 1318, to be operative if SB 1318 and this bill become effective on or before January 1, 2011, and this bill is enacted last.
CHAPTERED 9/29/10. Chapter 499. -
SB 1318 (Numerous Senators) Transportation.
(1) Existing law establishes the State Highway System and designates state highway routes from Route 1 to Route 905, unless otherwise specified by name, and authorizes the California Transportation Commission to relinquish all or a portion of designated state highway routes to specified local agencies if certain conditions are met. Portions of state highways that have been relinquished are not state highways and become ineligible for future adoption as a part of the State Highway System. This bill would acknowledge the relinquishment of, and designate or make technical changes to, specific portions of Route 1, Route 2, Route 19, Route 39, Route 71, Route 72, Route 74, Route 79, Route 83, Route 84, Route 111, Route 144, Route 151, Route 160, Route 164, Route 170, Route 260, and Route 275. Existing law authorizes the commission to relinquish to the City of Bakersfield or the County of Kern the portion of Route 58 that is located within the city limits of the City of Bakersfield under certain conditions. This bill would authorize the relinquishment to the City of Bakersfield and the County of Kern those portions of Route 58 located within their respective jurisdictions under certain conditions.
(many numerous other provisions, the most amusing of which is…)
(3) Existing law authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to establish requirements for equipment and devices to be used on any vehicle and defines the types of vehicles for this purpose. Existing law requires that license plates be securely fastened at all times to the vehicle for which they are issued so as to prevent the plates from swinging, be mounted in a position so as to be clearly visible, and be maintained in a condition so as to be clearly legible. A violation of the Vehicle Code is a crime. This bill would also require that license plates be mounted in a position so that the characters are upright and display from left to right.
