OTHER CONSIDERATIONS accident records, unexpected conditions, etc.)
COLLISION HISTORY: Annual average daily traffic AADT) 16,300.
Segment length is 2.44 miles.
2-year collision rate 2006-7) 0.27 collisions per million vehicle
miles.
7 of I I collisions involved large trucks
UNUSUAL CONDITIONS: High percentage of trucks and slow moving farm equipment 20%+ at the
intersection of Abbott & Harris). Much of the roadway has narrow
paved shoulders 2-foot wide in places).
SUPPORTING CONDITION MAP ATTACHED: No
DISCUSSION: Abbott is a two lane highway from US 101 Milepost MP) 0.0] to MP 0.35. From MP 0.35 to
the Salinas City Limits MP 2.44) it has three and four through lane segments. It is generally a straight roadway
except for the curved approach to the Union Pacific Railroad under crossing. The terrain is flat. The average of
the above described three 85th percentile spot speed surveys is 62.3 m.p.h. The lowest 85"' percentile speed was
61.6 m.p.h. and the highest was 62.9. Therefore, based on the 85th percentile speed alone, the speed limit
posting would be 60 m.p.h. for the entire roadway segment length of 2.44 miles from US 101 to the Salinas City
Limits. Since the roadway has no raised median divider, narrow shoulders for much of its length, and no
exclusive southbound right turn lane at Harris Road, and has very heavy truck volumes on both Abbott Street
and the intersecting Harris Road, it is recommended the posted speed limit be reduced an additional 5 m.p.h. to
55 m.p.h. Also, because of tight geometry, large trucks must slow to below 5 m.p.h. in the southbound number
2 through lane in order to turn right onto Harris Road. Abbott Street is posted for 45 mph in the City of Salinas
PROPOSED SPEED LIMIT: 55 MPH
