CITY MGR. m
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Introduce Ordinance No. As-s4r to establish a prima facie 25 mile per hour speed limit upon
Paseo Aliso from Olivenhain Road to Camino Robledo.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The subject segment of road is 0.80 miles in length and has been constructed with curb, gutter, sidewalks and street lights on each side of the road. The roadway width varies from 40 feet south
of Calle Barcelona to 48 feet north of Calle Barcelona. It serves as a collector road and has an
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volume of 3,300 vehicles at Paseo Tulipero and 1,300 vehicles at
Corte Limon. 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 May 1, 2000, 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 4-O vote to establish a 25 mile per hour prima facie speed
limit upon Paseo Aliso from Olivenhain Road to Camino Robledo.
The current version of the Engineering and Traffic Survey is on file in the office of the City Traffic
Engineer.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Installing four speed limit signs on Paseo Aliso between Olivenhain Road and Camino Robledo will
cost about $500.
