ENG I I CITY MGRa RECOMMENDED ACTION Introduce Ordinance No. NS-522 to establish a prima facie 35 mile per hour speed limit upon Anillo Way from Levante Street to Madrilena Way. ITEM EXPLANATION: Staff received a request from the Carlsbad Police Department to establish a prima facie speed limit upon a portion of Anillo Way. The subject segment of road is 0.40 miles in length and has been constructed with curb, gutter, sidewalks and street lights on each side of the road. It serves as a collector road and has an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volume of 3,100 vehicles. There have been no reported collisions on the subject segment of Anillo Way. 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 September 13, 1999, the Traffic Safety Commission considered the results of the Engineering and Traffic Survey to establish a prima facie speed limit upon Anillo Way. The Commission recommended by a 2-l vote to establish a 35 mile per hour prima facie speed limit upon Anillo Way from Levante Street to Madrilena Way. 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 Anillo Way between Levante Street and Madrilena Way will cost about $250. EXHIBITS: 1. Location Map. 2.
