The need for turn restrictions at <br />intersections during the a.m, and p.m. peak hours where a physical barrier does not prevent these movements <br />from being made was explored. <br />• EI Camino Real/Whipple Avenue - Drivers currently make the eastbound left turn from Whipple Avenue <br />onto EI Camino Real from a shared through/left turn lane. Left turn volumes are 78 vehicles during the <br />a.m. peak hour and 141 vehicles during the p.m. peak hour. The restriction of this movement would likely <br />result in vehicles diverting onto neighborhood streets, and as such a turn restriction at this location is not <br />advisable. <br />
