Sections 22357 and 22358 of the California Vehicle Code authorizes local authorities to establis a prima facie speed limit on the basis of the results of an Engineering and Traffic Survey. TF Engineering and Traffic Survey considers such factors as the number of collisions that ha\ occurred on the road segment, roadway features, adjacent land uses, driveway locations, traff volumes, pedestrian volumes, critical speed, horizontal and vertical alignment, stopping sigl distance, and conditions that may not be readily apparent to the driver.

By a 4-0 vote, the Commission recommended that the existir 40 mile per hour prima facie speed limit be extended easterly by establishing a 40 mile per ho speed limit upon Camino de las Ondas from Briarwood Drive to its intersection with Avia Parkway.
