limit upon College Boulevard.
rrEM EXPLANATION:
With the completion of improvements upon Palomar Airport Road, College Boulevard
has recently been opened to through traffic between El Camino Real and Palomar
Airport Road. College Boulevard is a four -lane divided road approximately one and one
half miles in length. It is designated as a major arterial on the Circulation Element of
the General Plan, although traffic volumes are low at this time.
Sections 22357 and 22358 of the California Vehicle Code authorizes local authorities
to establish a prima facie speed limit on the basis of the results of an engineering and
traffic survey. Staff presented the results of the survey to the Traffic Safety
Commission on December 4, 1989. Based upon the results of the engineering and
traffic survey the Commission recommended, by a 5-0 vote, that a prima facie 45 mile
per hour speed limit be established upon College Boulevard from Palomar Airport Road
to El Camino Real.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Installing six speed limit signs will cost approximately $330.00.
