upkeep and care of grounds or facilities used as a public park.
Routine tree maintenance shall be limited to minor trimming as

of dead or low overhanging limbs. Extensive tree reconditioning
work, spraying or removal are not routine maintenance operations
and will not be paid for unless such work is specifically author-

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

as referred to above and such sidewalk inspection and action towards
repair of sidewalks, curbs or other facilities as is necessary to

follow the same policy and procedure generally followed by it with
respect to streets of the City in the matter 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 control
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 installation.
Care of landscaped areas, ornamental plantings, trees, and
road signs, and the upkeep and operation of traffic signals and
hi~hway 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.

of each bridge by qualified personnel and immediate repair of the
minor defects when the cost does not exceed $300. The District
Engineer shal1 be immediately notified of major defects as are
-6-
hereinafter defined.
Bridge repair work costing in excess of ;:~300 on a single
structure shal1 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 Department. Major bridge repair is not a routine
maintenance operation and will require specific authorization.
TRAFFIC SERVICE
14. WARNING, AND REGULATORY SIGNS shal1 conform to the
specifications adopted by the Department, or as otherwise
specifically authorized by the Department. Positioning of
such signs shall conform to standards adopted by the Depart-
me nt .

~chool crossings nor the Regulatory Signs installed for the
prohibition or the regulation of parking.
15. TRAFFIC STRIPE 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 inter-
sections shall be shared between the Department and City in the
same ratio as the number of intersecting roads or streets under
-7-
jurisdiction 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.
16. TRAFFIC SIGNALS, FLASHERS OR OTHER ELECTRICALLY OPERATED
TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES: The cost of maintaining and operating
traffic signals or other electrical1y 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 manner specified
for crosswalks under Section 15.
17. HIGHWAY LIGHTING: The Department will not pay for the
maintenance, installation, repair, servicing, nor power for electro-
liers nor ordinary street lighting; however, lighting at intersections,
when required for the safety of persons using the streets, roadways or
hiRhways, will be paid for when approved and specifical1y authorized
by the District Engineer. Where such lighting has been specifically
authorized at an intersection, the maintenance and operating costs
thereof shal1 be shared between the Department and the City on the
basis of the number of intersecting streets to the intersection in
the same manner specified for pedestrian crosswalks under Section 15.
18. TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES AND HIGHWAY LIGHTING FACILITIH:S as
defined under paragraphs 16 and 17 above, which are installed
subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, shall become subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon notice to the

PERMITS
19. ENCROACHMENT PERMITS: When authority to issue Encroachment
Permits is delegated to the City, the authority shall pertain 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 aeopy of each permit to the Department. The City agrees
to follow such general State policies regarding encroachments 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, commercial 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 the curb line or theoretical curb line, and no sign of any
kind except warning signs at railroad crossings shall be permitted
to be suspended over the roadway. Marquees or signs extending
over the sidewalk area shall conform to the Cf.ityl s Building Code
and shall be maintained in a good appearing and struoturally safe
oondition at all times. An existing sign or marquee suspended or
projeoting over the State highway that constitutes a hazard shall
be tmmediately repaired or removed.
If the City by ordinance or other regulation tmposes 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
regulations 1n the granting or refusing of permits with respect
-9-
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 permitees 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
limitations 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
originates 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 issued, including, spe cifioally,
limitations upon the crossing of bridges and overcrossings detailed
in Section 26.63 and Plate 118 thereof.
