IMPROVED ROADSIDES relates to the area between the roadbed, as defined under Section 7, and the right-of-way boundary lines, including curb and sidewalk, as hereinafter described but ex- cluding drainage structures or waterways. 9. UNIMPROVED ROADSIDES relates to the area between the road- bed and right-of-way boundary wherein curbs and sidewalks do not exist. 10. CURBS relates to a timber or a masonry structure sepa- rating or otherwise delineating the roadbed from the remainder of the highway. 11. SIDEWALK applies to the paved or otherwise improved surface area between the face of curb and right-of-way boundary, including paved entrances or driveways. 12. BRIDGES, as used herein, refer to structures having been assigned Bridge Numbers by the Department. All other cross drainage structures will be classified as culverts. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 13. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE to be performed on the roadbed or roadsides shall consist of such work as patching, crack sealing, care of drainage, upkeep and repair of bridges, culverts, guard rail, median barriers, curbs and sidewalks, operation of draw- bridges, street sweeping and cleaning, repair of damage and cleaning up after storms and traffic accidents, control of road- side vegetation, care of landscaped areas, trees or other -4- ornamental plantings, and upkeep and operation of traffic ser- vice devices, all as hereinafter specified. Routine tree maintenance shall be limited to minor trimming as required to improve sight distance or to the occasional re- moval of dead or low overhanging limbs. Extensive tree recon- ditioning work, spraying or removal are not routine maintenance operations and will not be paid for unless such work is specifi- cally authorized by the Department. The above shall not be construed as restricting, prohibiting or otherwise relieving the City of the responsibility for inspection and upkeep of trees in a manner that will insure maximum safety to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Sweeping and cleaning shall be limited to the removal of dirt or litter normally coming onto the roadbed from the action of traffic or from natural causes. The Department will not under- take nor pay for picking up or disposing of rubbish or debris swept into or otherwise placed on the highway from abutting property. The extent of sweeping and cleaning on the State high- ways shall not be greater than customarily done on comparable city streets. Maintenance work to be performed within the area desig- nated as Improved Roadsides shall include the removal of dirt and litter as referred to above and such sidewalk inspection and action towards repair of sidewalks, curbs or other facilities as is necessary to keep them in a reasonably safe condition. The City agrees to follow the same policy and procedure generally followed by it with respect to streets of the City in the matter -5- of requiring sidewalk repairs and control of vegetation to be made by or at the expense of abutting owners who are under legal obligation to perform such work. Maintenance of warning and regulatory signs, traffic con- trol devices, and highway lighting facilities as hereinafter referred to shall include upkeep and repair of the supports, as well as such other items which are an integral part of the in- stallation. Care of landscaped areas, ornamental plantings, trees, and road signs, and the upkeep and operation of traffic signals and highway lighting facilities located or based within the Improved Roadside area shall not be undertaken by City unless such work is specifically delegated under Section 22 of the Agreement. Bridges, as defined under Section 12, will be investigated by a representative of the Department's bridge engineering staff once each year and oftener, if considered necessary. In addition to such annual investigation, routine maintenance to be performed under provisions of the Agreement shall include monthly inspec- tion of each bridge by qualified personnel and immediate repair of the minor defects when the cost does not exceed $500. The District Engineer shall be immediately notified of major defects as are hereinafter defined. Bridge repair work costing in excess of $500 on a single structure shall be considered as being a major repair project. Except in the case of emergency, such major repair projects shall conform to the methods and procedure to be recommended by the -6- Department. Major bridge repair is not a routine maintenance operation and will require specific authorization. TRAFFIC SERVICE 14. WARNING AND REGULATORY SIGNS shall conform to the speci- fications adopted by the Department, or as otherwise specifically authorized by the Department. Positioning of such signs shall conform to standards adopted by the Department. Unless specifically authorized, the Department will not maintain or pay for maintenance of Regulatory Signs installed for the purpose of stopping vehicular traffic at pedestrian or school crossings nor the Regulatory Signs installed for the prohibition or the regulation of parking. 15. TRAFFIC S'rRIPE AND PAVEMENT MARKINGS shall conform to the Standards established by the Department. Except for the red "No Parking" zones at the approach to and exit from intersections controlled by traffic signals, the Department will not pay for curb painting or parking lines as may otherwise be required for the regulation of parking. The cost of maintaining pedestrian crosswalks at intersec- tions shall be shared between the Department and City in the Bame ratio as the number of intersecting roads or streets under juris- diction of the respective agencies bears to the total number of intersecting City Streets, State Highways and County Roads within the particular intersection; for example, a 50-50 basis will apply to the regular cross-street intersection wherein a County Road is not a factor. -7- 16 . TRAFFIC SIGNALS, FLASHERS OR OTHER ELECTRICALLY OPERATED TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES: The cost of maintaining and operating traffic signals or other electrically operated traffic control devices now in place or those which may hereafter be installed at the intersection of any State highway route and any City street shall be shared between the Department and the City on the basis of the number of intersection streets in the same aanner specified for crosswalks under Section 15. 17 . HIGHWAY LIGHTING: The Department will not pay for the maintenance, installation, repair, servicing, nor power for electroliers nor ordinary street lighting; however, lighting at intersections, when required for the safety of persons using the streets, roadways or highways, will be paid for wh~n approved and specifically authorized by the District Engineer. Where such lighting has been specifically authorized at an intersection, the maintenance and operating costs thereof shall be shared between the Department and the City on the basis of the number of inter- secting streets to the intersection in the same manner specified for pedestrian crosswalks under Section 15. 18. TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES AND HIGHWAY LIGHTING FACILITIES as defined under paragraphs 16 and 17 above, which are installed subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, shall become sub- ject ,to the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon notice to the City from the Department of the completion of any such in- stallation. -8- PERMITS 19. ENCROACHMENT PERMITS: When authority to issue Encroach- ment Permits ie delegated to the City, the authority shall per- tain to all parts of the highway throughout the particular length of streets indicated under Section 22 of the Agreement. Permits shall be issued on a form provided by the Department and the City will furnish a copy of each permit to the Department. The City agrees to follow such general State policies regarding encroach- ments as may be specified by the District Engineer. Routine permits shall be handled by the City without approval, but prior approval of the District Engineer shall be secured before' any permit is issued for the original installation of any utility line, c6mmercial driveway, or other major encroachment within the highway right-of-way. No sign or marquee shall be permitted to be installed within or project beyond a line 18 inches back or curb line, and no sign of any kind except warning signa at rail- road crossings shall be permitted to be suspended over the roadway. Marquees or signs extending over the sidewalk area shall conform to the City's Building Code and shall be maintained in a good appearing and structurally safe condition at all times. An ex- isting sign or marquee suspended or projecting over the State highway that constitutes a hazard shall be immediately repaired or removed. If the City by ordinance or other regulation imposes more restrictive regulations and requirements regarding signs and marquees than above set forth, nothing in these provisions shall be construed to prevent the City from enforcing such restrictive -9- regulations in the granting or refusing of permits with respect to any State highway. The Department will pay for the cost of inspection of such signs, marquees, and other encroachments as a part of maintenance, provided that the City shall comply with its usual policy with respect to collecting costs from permittees in such cases as fees or charges are made by the City for similar work on City streets. Any amount so collected by the City with respect to any State highway shall be credited against the charges made by the City for such work. 20. TRANSPORTATION PERMITS: Transportation Permits will be required for all vehicles and their loads which exceed the limita- tions specified under Division 15 of the California Vehicle Code. Where authority to issue Transportation Permits is delegated to the City, such authority shall pertain only to travel that ori- ginates and terminates within the corporate limits and it shall not apply to through haul transportation. In issuing such permits, the City shall follow the policies and regulations established by the Department for the issuance of Transportation Permits as set out in the Department's Maintenance Manual of Instructions in effect at the time such permits are iSBued, including, specifi- cally, limitations upon the crossing of bridges and overcrossings detailed therein. -10- 21.
