RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No. M-s& to establish a prima facie 35 mile per hour speed limit upon
Jackspar Drive from Camino Hills Drive to El Camino Real.
I
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Jackspar Drive was constructed several years ago as access to new residential subdivisions
westerly of El Camino Real and the industrial park. The road is unclassified on the Circulation
Element of the General Plan and functions as a collector road.
The road has a curb-to-curb width of 40 feet and has a length of 0.29 miles. Jackspar Drive is built
to City standards and generally follows a curvilinear alignment. An ALL-WAY STOP has been
established at the intersection of Jackspar Drive/Longfellow Road. The roadway has an Average
Daily Traffic (ADT) volume of about 2,200 vehicles. No accidents have been reported on
Jackspar Drive in the past two years.
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 Traffic 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 on July 12, 1999, the Traffic Safety Commission considered the results of the
Engineering and Traffic Survey to establish a prima facie speed limit upon Jackspar Drive. The
Commission recommended by a 5-O vote to establish a 35 mile per hour prima facie speed limit
upon Jackspar Drive from Camino Hills Drive to El Camino Real.
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 Jackspar Drive between Camino Hills Drive and El Camino Real
will cost about $250.
