Dept. Hd.�
DATE: December 21, 1976 C. Atty.
DEPARTMENT: Engineering (Traffic/Transportation) C. Mgr.
Subject:
SPEED ZONE: CARLSBAD BOULEVARD (TIERRA DEL ORO TO MANZANO DRIVE)
Statement of the Matter
On the basis of an engineering and traffic survey, the Traffic
Safety Commission recommended that a 45 m.p.h. speed zone be
established on Carlsbad Boulevard, from Tierra del Oro to
Manzano Drive, to replace the existing 35 m.p.h. Establishing
a consistent speed zone on all of Carlsbad Boulevard, from the
Agua Hedionda Lagoon Bridge southerly to Manzano Drive, will
enable the Police Department to use radar enforcement and will
not qualify the speed zone as a "speed trap" as defined by
Section 40802 of the California Vehicle Code.
EXHIBITS:
a. Ordinance No. V,46—
b. Speed zone survey (data in Engineering Department)
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council introduce Ordinance N0.3/46f' establishing
a legal prima facie speed zone on the above section of Carlsbad
Boulevard for first reading.
Council action
12-21-76 The matter was returned to staff for findings that there are
special conditions existing to justify a 35 MPH zone on the
section of Carl.�uad Blvd. from Manzano Dr. north to the bridge.
