CITY MGR.~·
Introduce Ordinance No. ¥!? O to revise the speed limit on
Rancho Santa Fe Road from the north city limits to the south city
limits to 45 miles per hour.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On March 4, 1985, the Traffic Safety Commission approved a staff
recommendation to reduce the speed limit on Rancho Santa Fe Road
from 55 MPH to 4S MPH. Section 22358 of the California Vehicle
Code gives jurisdictions such authority on the basis of an
engineering and traffic survey.
There have been 20 non-injury and 15 injury accidents on Rancho
Santa Fe Road within the last 12 months. The road is winding
with numerous slow trucks. The "engineering and traffic survey"
in this case is the accident record.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff is recommending 4 -4 'x8' warning signs at ,$250. 00 per
sign, and 8 R-2 ( 45) Speed Limit signs 36"x45" at $50.00 per
sign. A total of $1,400.00 is the estimated final cost .
