ESTABLISH A
PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMIT UPON
CAMINO HILLS DRIVE
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No. A’s - ‘03 to establish a prima facie 35 mile per hour speed limit upon
Camino Hills Drive from Faraday Avenue to Browning Road.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Several years ago, Camino Hills Drive was constructed as a cul-de-sac in the industrial park. The
road was subsequently extended easterly to Browning Road. It is unclassified on the Circulation
Element of the General Plan and functions as a collector road. The road is 0.37 miles in length
and built to City standards except for a small section on the southerly side of the road near
Milton Road where curb and gutter and sidewalk has not been constructed. Travel lanes are
separated by a double-yellow centerline stripe and no accidents have been reported on Camino
Hills Drive in the past two years. The road has an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volume of about
1,300 vehicles.
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 Traftic Survey. The
Engineering and Traffic Survey considers such factors as the number of collisions that have
occurred on the road segment, roadway features, adjacent land uses, driveway locations, traffic
volumes, pedestrian volumes, critical speed, horizontal and vertical alignment, stopping sight distance, and conditions that may not be readily apparent to the driver.
At their meeting of July 12, 1999, the Traffic Safety Commission considered the results of the
Engineering and Traffic Survey to establish a prima facie speed limit upon Camino Hills Drive. The
Commission recommended by a 5-O vote to establish a 35 mile per hour prima facie speed limit
upon Camino Hills Drive from Faraday Avenue to Browning Road.
The current version of the Engineering and Traffic Survey is on file in the office of the City Traffic
Engineer.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Installing two speed limit signs on Camino Hills Drive between Faraday Avenue and
Browning Road will cost about $250.
