RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ESTABLISHING A 40 M.P.H. SPEED
LIMIT ON ELM AVENUE FROM EL
CAMINO REAL TO TAMARACK AVENUE
Introduce Ordinance No. J; f/1_ to establish a 40 mile per
hour speed limit on Elm Avenue from El Camino Real to Tamarack
Avenue.
ITEM EXPLANATION
On October 7, 1985, the Traffic Safety Commission approved a
staff recommendation to establish a 40 M.P.H. speed limit on
Elm Avenue from El Camino Real to Tamarack Avenue. At the
present, Elm Avenue at this location is unpasted. The basic
speed law is in effect at this location which means that no
person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater
than is reasonable or prudent.
The results of our speed survey indicate a 40 11.P.H. speed
zone is appropriate. The vehicle code requires a posting in
accordance with the speed survey if radar is to be used for
enforcement. (See Exhibit 3, Speed Zone Evaluation.)
Elm Avenue, at this location, is a secondary arterial with
several curves. The street width varies from 32' to 64'. A
signal is in design for the intersection at Concord Street and
Elm Avenue.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for sign placement and enforcement will be borne by
budgeted operating expenses.
