SP3-Zero Avenue Update

REPORT TO
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
PRESENTED: MAY 4, 2009 - SPECIAL MEETING REPORT: 09-61

FROM: ENGINEERING DIVISION FILE: 5400-20-01
SUBJECT: 16 AVENUE AND ZERO AVENUE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Council receive the “16 Avenue and Zero Avenue Traffic Conditions Update” report; and further
That Council authorize traffic signal installation at 216 Street and 16 Avenue.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The role, function, and safety of both the 16 Avenue and Zero Avenue corridors have been the
subject of several safety studies and a significant consultation process. Safety improvements have
been implemented on these corridors including: signage, rumble strips, flashing beacons, RCMP
radar pull out bays, road markings, left turn bays, traffic signals, and raised intersections.
The collision history, traffic volumes, and traffic speeds were examined for both corridors. There is
an increasing trend in the number of collisions on 16 Avenue that is likely due to increased traffic
volume. When compared to other locations within the Township, the number of collisions at
intersections on 16 Avenue is relatively low. There is no discernable pattern in the number of
collisions on Zero Avenue.
With the exception of the period of time when the Fraser Highway was under construction,
16 Avenue has maintained a growth rate consistent with regional growth. The traffic volume on
Zero Avenue dropped by 800 vehicles per day following the installation of raised intersections. The
vehicle travel speeds on 16 Avenue appear to be relatively consistent over the past several years.
The travel speeds on Zero Avenue between the raised intersections appears to be relatively
unchanged; however, there has been a reduction in travel speeds at the intersections.
The Traffic Association of Canada recognizes that traffic signals and roundabouts are both nationally
accepted methods for traffic control. At 216 Street and 16 Avenue, due to issues involved in future
expansion of 16 Avenue, capital costs, and the need to implement controls in this construction
season, Engineering recommends the construction of a signalized intersection.
The Zero Avenue corridor has been classified as a local road, but has a role and function similar to a
minor collector. The 16 Avenue corridor is classified as an arterial route, which is consistent with
neighbouring municipalities. Future upgrades and connections are planned for 16 Avenue in both
Surrey and Abbotsford, while nothing is planned for Zero Avenue. There are connectivity issues with
Zero Avenue at the Highway 13 border crossing that limit its ability to act as an east/west corridor.
As part of the Major Road Network (MRN), 16 Avenue is eligible for 100% of the operating and
maintenance costs and up to 50% of the capital upgrade costs. Any costs incurred on Zero Avenue
are 100% the responsibility of the Township.
16 AVENUE AND ZERO AVENUE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS UPDATE

PURPOSE:
To provide historic and current information on the safety and performance of Zero Avenue and
16 Avenue, confirm upgrades to be implemented in 2009, and to obtain Council authority to install
traffic signals at 16 Avenue and 216 Street.
Page 3 . . .
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
Improving safety of both the Zero Avenue and 16 Avenue corridors has been important to the
Township for several years. An ICBC sponsored safety study on 16 Avenue was conducted in
1995, and updated in 1999. Toward improving safety on Zero Avenue following the paving of a
previously unpaved portion of the road in the 1990’s, the Township undertook an ICBC
sponsored corridor safety study in 2002. There was also a study on the impact of the proposed
safety measures on traffic volumes and potential diversion of traffic to 16 Avenue. Attachment A
summarizes the previous safety improvements and initiatives undertaken on both Zero Avenue
and 16 Avenue.
Classification and Function:

The 16 Avenue corridor has been identified as a major “Grid Road” since 1980. The Township’s
Highway Classification Map has identified 16 Avenue as an arterial road in the 1986, 1992,
1998, and 2004 updates of the map. The current draft Master Transportation Plan identifies
16 Avenue as an arterial road. It has been constructed to a typical 2-lane rural standard with
paved shoulders. There have been several intersection improvements implemented over the
past six to seven years to address capacity and safety improvements.
The Traffic Association of Canada recognizes that traffic signals and roundabouts are both nationally
accepted methods for traffic control. At 216 Street and 16 Avenue, due to issues involved in future
expansion of 16 Avenue, higher capital costs, and the need to implement controls in this
construction season, Engineering recommends the construction of a signalized intersection.
The Zero Avenue corridor has been identified in the Township’s Highway Classification Map as
a “local road”. As a result, it is intended to carry relatively low volumes of traffic. The current
draft Master Transportation Plan identifies Zero Avenue as a minor collector road due to the
connectivity that it provides to the east and west. It is primarily constructed to a 2-lane country
road standard with no paved shoulders. It is not designed or constructed to carry significant
volumes of traffic.
Consultation Activities:
Because Zero Avenue and 16 Avenue are parallel east-west corridors within the Township,
there is a potential diversion of traffic from one corridor to another due to safety improvements
being undertaken. In order to mitigate these concerns, the Township has undertaken significant
technical analysis and public and council consultation on the proposed improvements. The
consultation process included Council reports, memos, letters, and presentations to Council as
well as public meetings, a public workshop, and feedback questionnaires. Attachment B
provides a summary of the many of the formal consultation activities undertaken.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Township staff reviewed the effectiveness of the raised intersection on both the safety of
Zero Avenue and the impact to 16 Avenue. It is common practice to evaluate safety
improvements after their installation when sufficient time has passed to allow for trends or
patterns to emerge. Three years of post implementation data are now available for the raised
intersections on Zero Avenue, completed in the spring of 2005. The typical type of data
collected is collision history, traffic volumes, and vehicle speeds. Attachment C summarizes the
available collision data for both corridors.
Page 4 . . .
Collision History:
Collision history along a corridor, based solely on the number of collisions occurring within a
given year is inadequate. Further examination of the collision history, specific locations, and
contributing factors to collisions should be considered. In addition, the number of collisions on
this corridor should be assessed and compared to other roads of a similar nature to determine
the priority for improvements. Based upon the available data, there appears to be a general
increase in collisions on 16 Avenue, which could be attributed to increased traffic volumes.
16 Avenue
Fatal Crashes
Fatal crashes are relatively rare and random events in the context of the total number of
vehicles on the corridor per day and millions of kilometers driven on the corridor each
year. The RCMP has provided some information on the contributing factors to the fatal
crashes that occurred on 16 Avenue, including:
Failure to yield at an intersection light;

Improper left turn and traveling too fast;
Speed and driver error;
Homicide (hit and run incident).
Hot Spots
There are several intersections along the corridor which have a higher number of
collisions. The Township examined the last three years of data in further detail to
determine the number of collisions at each intersection along the corridor. The highest
collision locations were:
16 Avenue Collision Locations:
Intersection Average Number of

Collisions per Year
200 Street 19.0
216 Street 6.7
240 Street 8.7
248 Street 6.0
264 Street 13.3
The intersections of 16 Avenue at 200 Street and 264 Street are the highest traffic
volume locations along the corridor, resulting in a higher incidence of collisions. The
intersection of 16 Avenue at 216 Street is proposed to be upgraded in 2009. The
intersection of 16 Avenue at 240 Street is proposed to be upgraded with left turn lanes in
2009. Intersection improvements on 16 Avenue at 248 Street were deferred pending
further evaluation of alternative traffic control measures.
Page 5 . . .
16 Avenue versus other high collision locations:

The Township periodically examines collision history at all locations within the Township
to identify collision “hot spots”. This information is used to assist in identifying potential
locations for intersection improvements where safety is a priority. Attachment D
summarizes the collision history at specific intersections within the Township.
Intersections within the jurisdiction of the City of Langley or Ministry of Transportation
have been removed from the list.
The number of collisions each year at the intersection of 200 Street at 64 Avenue
exceeds the total number of collisions along the entire 16 Avenue corridor. Only one
intersection on 16 Avenue is included in the list of top collision locations within the
Township. This is the intersection with the highest traffic volume, 16 Avenue at
200 Street.
Zero Avenue
There does not appear to be a discernable pattern for the collision trend on
Zero Avenue. The collision trend from year to year is also difficult to distinguish as many
of the collisions on both corridors are influenced by outside factors such as weather.
Traffic Volumes
The Township has a program of periodically monitoring vehicle traffic volumes on major
roads. Due to the concerns raised by south Langley residents, traffic counts were
conducted on numerous occasions on both 16 Avenue and Zero Avenue. Traffic counts
were conducted at several locations along each of the corridors. The traffic counts were
all conducted at the same time of the year in the July/August summer months in order to
maintain consistency for comparison purposes.
The following table and chart summarizes the average daily traffic volume in each year
for both corridors. As counts were conducted in multiple locations most years, the data
shown is for the highest traffic volume location along the corridor. 16 Avenue and
Zero Avenue Average Daily Traffic Volumes:
Year Zero Avenue 16 Avenue

1992 1,551 8,880
1993 1,735 8,671

In 2005-07, upgrading works on the Fraser Highway were in progress and volumes
appear to have “spiked” on 16 Avenue (14,007); since their completion, volume has
subsequently declined to 11,532.
Also, in 2005, raised intersection on Zero Avenue decreased volume in that year by 800
vehicles per day; which, in part, contributed to the “spike” on 16 Avenue.
Vehicle Speeds
The Township does not typically undertake vehicle speed surveys except in
circumstances where significant concern has been expressed by local residents, or at
locations where excessive speed may be a contributing factor to collisions. The
Township has undertaken some speed surveys on both the Zero Avenue and 16 Avenue
corridors. The surveys undertaken from 2000-2005 were conducted at random on
several locations on each corridor utilizing a radar gun. Each survey typically contains a
data set of 200-300 vehicles per direction during daylight hours. The surveys
undertaken in 2008 were conducted using road traffic tube counters and were collected
for seven days, 24 hours per day, at several locations in the summer of 2008.
The data collected was summarized and the average, median, and 85th percentile
speeds were calculated. The 85th percentile speed is the speed at which 85 % of the
traffic is traveling at or below. In addition, the surveys undertaken in 2005 included the
speeds approaching at and beyond the raised intersections, as well as locations mid-
block away from any potential influence of the raised intersections. Similarly, the road
tube surveys conducted in 2008 were conducted either approaching, beyond, or at mid-
block to the raised intersection. It is not possible to collect vehicle speed data at raised
intersections with the road tubes. The following table summarizes the average, median,
and 85th percentile speeds on both Zero Avenue and 16 Avenue.

2008 – approaching intersection 63.4 63.9 75.9
2005 – beyond intersection 67.5 67.5 81.6
The vehicle travel speeds on 16 Avenue appear to be consistent between 2002 and
2008. There is a minor change in vehicle travel speeds along Zero Avenue at the raised
intersections. The vehicle travel speed between the raised intersections is consistent
with speeds recorded in previous years. The Township has recently installed several
“VCalm” speed reader boards which are to be supplemented with RCMP enforcement
on 16 Avenue. The VCalm units are intended to be a public education measure to
influence driver behavior in locations where other measures, such as traffic calming,
cannot be implemented. Speed data is being collected on these units, but is not
available at this time.
Other Considerations
There are several other factors that should be considered when examining the role and function
of both 16 Avenue and Zero Avenue.
RCMP Comments: 16 Avenue:

The RCMP has also provided the Township with comments related to the 16 Avenue
enforcement and potential modifications, such as:
The intersections at 216 Street, 224 Street and 240 Street are “hot spots”;
The ditches and narrow shoulder make enforcement problematic;
Dips and hills create sight distance restrictions;
Lack of roadway illumination and potential additional illumination at intersections;
Intersections with 2-way stop control should be reviewed for potential upgrades;
With increased traffic volumes, collisions will likely increase proportionally;
Motorists may attempt to cross 16 Avenue when not safe to do so which is made
more difficult with higher vehicle speeds;
Construction of pullouts along 16 Avenue to aid enforcement efforts.
Page 8 . . .
East/West connectivity:
As part of the draft Master Transportation Plan, the Township consulted with adjacent
municipalities on their future road plans.
The City of Abbotsford plans to construct a connection along Zero Avenue to the
Abbotsford Airport.
The City of Surrey plans to widen 16 Avenue to four lanes and is also in discussions with
the Ministry of Transportation on potential connections to Highway 99. Neither the City
of Surrey nor City of Abbotsford have any plans for Zero Avenue.
Highway 13 and U.S./Canada Border Crossing:

The Ministry of Transportation undertook a study of Highway 13 several years ago that
indicates, in the future, the road approaching the U.S./Canada border crossing would
need to be expanded to four lanes. This would result in the intersections of
Zero Avenue/Highway 13 being restricted to right turns only, thereby limiting connectivity
and function of the road. In addition, the Township is currently in the process of
installing signs restricting access to the border crossing from Zero Avenue. The IMTC
(International Mobility and Trade Commission) is undertaking a cross border circulation
study in partnership with the Washington State Department of Transportation, the BC
Ministry of Transportation, Whatcom County, the City of Surrey, the City of Abbotsford,
and the Township of Langley to determine the optimal east/west routes that would
provide linkages between the border crossings. The primary route being examined in
Langley is 16 Avenue. Zero Avenue is not being considered due to the narrow road
width, limited right-of-way, steep grades, and connectivity issues.
TransLink Major Road Network

Upon the formation of TransLink in 1999, 16 Avenue was included in the Major Road
Network. As a major road network element, TransLink funds 100 % of maintenance
activities and up to 50 % for capital construction projects. Zero Avenue is not eligible for
any outside funding sources. Upgrading Zero Avenue to accommodate additional traffic
would be at a significant cost, entirely born by the Township. Widening 16 Avenue
would be also be a significant cost, but there is a potential to offset some of these costs
with outside funding sources.
Currently Proposed Improvements on 16 Avenue include:

The Traffic Association of Canada recognizes that traffic signals and roundabouts are both
nationally accepted methods for traffic control. Due to issues involved in future expansion of
16 Avenue, higher capital costs, and the need to implement controls in this construction
season, Engineering recommends the construction of a signalized intersection at 216 Street
and 16 Avenue. Proposals for the future include:
o 2009:
Left turn lanes at 224 Street and 240 Street
Signals at 216 Street
o Future:
Intersection upgrades at 248 Street

COLLISION DATA 16 AVENUE AND ZERO AVENUE
There are two sources of collision data available to the Township. The first set of data is based
upon RCMP reported collisions and the second set of data is based upon ICBC claims. As the
RCMP data is based upon collision reports, they often contain more specific information on the
conditions that may have attributed to the collision. This type of information is often used to
examine potential safety improvements and their effectiveness. As many claims are not
reported to the RCMP, the ICBC data is often used to evaluate general trends in terms of total
number of collisions at an intersection or along a corridor. The following tables and charts
summarize the RCMP and ICBC collision data for both the Zero Avenue and 16 Avenue
corridors.
