Special Considerations
For the proposed traffic signal Emergency
Vehicle Pre-emption (EVP) at Intersection #2,
Seal Beach Blvd & N. Gate Rd/I-405 SB Ramps,
additional coordination with Caltrans D-12 &
OCFA is needed.
For the proposed automatic retractable
hydraulic stainless steel roadway bollard at
Intersection #12, Main St & Ocean Ave,
additional coordination with SBPD is needed.
Future coordination with bike advocates and
Golden Rain Foundation (Seal Beach Leisure
World) is highly recommended.
Future coordination and approval of Naval Weapons
Station will be required for the specification & deployment
of Advanced Dilemma Zone equipment, Emergency
Vehicle Pre-emption (EVP) & textured Thermoplastic at
Intersection #13, Westminster Ave at Kitts Hwy.

Project Highlights (1 of 3)

SB SAP has identified solutions and developed a
holistic well-defined strategy to prevent & reduce the
number of deaths and serious injuries on the local
roadways across Seal Beach.
SB SAP looked at local, state, and Federal data and
peer research to identify safety solutions for all
users, including those driving, walking, rolling,
biking, riding a motorcycle, and/or other modes.
SB SAP was prepared per the Federal Safe Roads and
Streets For All (SS4A) requirements and also a Safe
System Approach.

Project Highlights (2 of 3)

The Project Team and stakeholders identified,
prioritized, and analyzed roadway safety improvements
on the City of Seal Beach’s intersections, roadway
segments, corridors, and High Injury Network.
SB SAP also provides the proposed countermeasures
that address collision patterns for both intersections
and roadway segments, to ultimately reduce collisions
in the City’s high collision locations.
SB SAP also looked into the Federal Equity
Considerations, Climate and Economic Justice, SS4A
Underserved Communities Census Tracts (Historically
Disadvantaged Communities), Transportation
Insecurity & USDOT Equitable Transportation
Community (ETC) Explorer.

SB SAP was also prepared and developed in
compliance with the State and Federal guidelines
for eligibility to apply for the funding of Highway
Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Active
Transportation Plan (ATP), California Senate Bill
One (SB1), the next phase of SS4A and others.
The Seal Beach City Council by adopting this SAP
commits to a systemic approach to reducing
transportation related serious injuries and deaths
throughout the city’s local roadways with a goal
toward zero deaths and serious injuries on the
transportation network by the year 2040 to build
on Seal Beach’s long-standing commitment to
traffic safety.
