DEPT. HD. 4 TITLE: ESTABLISH A 40 MILE PER HOUR
PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMIT UPON
KESTREL DRIVE T DEPT. ENG CITY MGR. &
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No. NS- 919 to establish a 40 mile per hour prima facie spe
upon Batiquitos Drive from Poinsettia Lane to Kestrel Drive.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Several months ago, construction of a portion of Batiquitos Drive westerly of Kestrel Dri
completed. This new segment joined with the existing Batiquitos Drive road segment con:
years ago between Poinsettia Lane and a point just southerly of Poppy Lane. Now that tl
construction is complete on Batiquitos Drive, drivers can traverse the entire length of B&
Drive from Poinsettia Lane through the Aviara development to its intersection with Aviara Pa
Although Batiquitos Drive functions as a collector road, the subject segment has a design SI
40 miles per hour and has been built to City standards with curb and gutter, sidewalk an(
lights. One traffic lane is provided in each direction with a bicycle lane on each side of the r
raised median has been constructed on a portion of the roadway.
Staff prepared an' Engineering and Traffic Survey for this road segment and presented the
to the Traffic Safety Commission. At their meeting of August 4, 1997, by a 4-0 vote, the
Safety Commission recommended establishing a 40 mile per hour prima facie speed lirn
Batiquitos Drive from Poinsettia Lane to Kestrel Drive. Their recommendation extends to tt-
the existing 40 mile per hour speed zone between Kestrel Drive and Golden Star Lane.
The current version of the Engineering and Traffic Survey is on file in the office of the City Engineer.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Installation of four speed limit signs will cost about $500.
