F. Remarks/Conditions Not Readily Apparent: This portion of La Costa Avenue connects two prime arterials, Rancho Santa Fe
Road and El Camino Real, and has numerous driveways. Two lanes run in each direction except between Romeria Street and
Levante Street where there is only one eastbound lane in order to provide parking on the south side of the street. Parking is also
allowed on the majority of the remaining section on the north side and a two-way left-turn lane divides the travel lanes for a portion
of the segment. Eastbound travel lanes are reduced to one through lane and one right turn only lane at Romeria Street.
The horizontal and vertical alignment of the roadway limits sight distance to some driveways and intersections. An advanced
warning sign advises westbound motorists of the intersection at Dehesa Court. Advanced warning signs and signs stating an
advisory speed lower than the posted speed limit have been installed advising motorists of a curve in the roadway. Mail delivery
vehicles UPS trucks and others sto alon the roadwa and artiall utilize throu h lanes.
G. Traffic Engineer's Recommendation (Explanation}: This speed zone satisfies the conditions of Section 627 of the California
Vehicle Code and has been prepared and evaluated in accordance with the CAL TRANS Traffic Manual with respect to design
and prevailing speeds, accident history, pedestrian activity, driveway spacing, stopping sight distance, and roadway and traffic
conditions. A s eed limit ostin of 45 MPH is found to be a ro riate and ·ustified.
ppropriate speed survey(s) is /are attached hereto and made a part hereof.
