1. What is the CRIPP?

The CRIPP is a programming document that anticipates revenues and identifies maintenance, rehabilitation, safety, and capacity improvement projects to be funded with the identified revenues.

2. Can we have a stop sign to control speeding?

A stop sign is intended to determine the right of way at an intersection. It is a rather poor speed control device. Studies have shown that the effectiveness of a stop sign on speed ranges from 10 to 150 feet from the sign, after which a vehicle will regain its original speed or faster. If a speeding problem exists, the County can park a radar trailer on your street to inform drivers of their speed.

3. What is an Area of Benefit (AOB) and who is required to pay?

An AOB is a development traffic mitigation fee program designed to improve the capacity and safety of the County’s arterial road network within a defined boundary. Money collected within a specific AOB will be used to fund road improvement projects that mitigate the traffic impacts generated by new developments. This traffic mitigation fee applies to anyone who develops property and adds additional vehicle trips to the road network.
