RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Reintroduction of Ordinance No. NS-403 to establish a prima facie speed limit upon Ba
Drive, from Aviara Parkway to its intersection with Kestrel Drive.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Ordinance No. NS-403 was first introduced and read at the City Council meeting held on
1997. At that time the Traffic Safety Commission recommended the ordinance establi:
mile per hour prima facie speed limit on Batiquitos Drive from Aviara Parkway to Kestrel
This recommendation rejected the Traffic Safety Coordinating Committee (‘“
recommendation to establish two different prima facie speed limits upon Batiquitos Dr
miles per hour from Aviara Parkway to Golden Star Lane, and a 40 mile per hour prim
speed limit from Golden Star Lane to Kestrel Drive, The TSCC recommendation was
upon the design speed and roadway elements within the segment from Aviara Park
Golden Star Lane.
At the April 15, 1997, Council meeting Mr. Larry Clemens, developer of Aviara, SF
opposition to the 40 mile per hour speed limit and requested Council’s reconsideration
ordinance as introduced, since Batiquitos Drive was enhanced to be scenic and p
resident and tourist pedestrian enjoyment.
The Traffic Engineer pointed out that a 35 mile per hour speed limit could not be enforcc
the use of radar, since it would be designated as a “speed trap” under California law acc
to the speed survey establishing critical speeds for that area.
City Council expressed concern about having two different speed limits along Batiquito:
since this might be confusing to the public. Therefore, the Council requested that this rnz
returned to staff for reconsideration and be reintroduced at the April 22, 1997 City (
meeting.
