RECOMMENDED ACTION:
~~~ ~ ~
Introduce Ordinance No. NS-331 to establish a prima facie 30 mile per hour speed I
upon Calle Barcelona from Rancho Santa Fe Road to its intersection with Calle Acen
I ITEM EXPLANATION:
In 1989, a prima facie 30 mile per hour speed limit was established upon Calle Barcelc
from Rancho Santa Fe Road to Via San Clemente. Calle Barcelona has recently bc
extended from Via San Clemente to its intersection with Calle Acervo by constructior
homes in the vicinity. The new segment of Calle Barcelona is unposted and the road\
functions as a collector street. There are no homes fronting on to Calle Barcelona. Acc
to Mission Estancia Elementary School is provided from Calle Barcelona. Proper sck
zone signing and striping has been established upon Calle Barcelona to notify driver: the school zone,
An Engineering and Traffic Survey is required to establish a prima facie speed limit for
new street segment and to have a uniform speed limit upon Calle Barcelona for its er length.
Sections 22357 and 22358 of the California Vehicle Code authorizes local authoritie:
establish a prima facie speed limit on the basis of the results of an Engineering and Trz
Survey. The Engineering and Traffic Survey considers such factors as the numbe
collisions that have occurred on the road segment, roadway features, traffic v01ut-r
pedestrian volumes, adjacent ,land uses, driveway locations, critical speed, conditions.
may not be readily apparent to the driver, horizontal and vertical alignment, stopping s
distance, and superelevation.
Staff presented results of the Engineering and Traffic Survey to the Traffic Sa
Commission at their November 6, 1995 meeting. By a 3-0 vote, the Commis:
recommended that the prima facie speed limit on Calle Barcelona between Rancho St
Fe Road and Calle Acervo be established at 30 miles per hour.
FISCAL IMPACT
Installation of two speed limit signs will cost approximately $250.
