RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No.NS-821 to establish a prima facie 35 mile per hour speed limit
upon Marron Road from 140 feet east of Avenida de Anita to its intersection with El Camino Real.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Construction was completed earlier this year to widen Marron Road to a four lane configuration
between El Camino Real and Avenida de Anita. With the changed conditions, the road no longer
meets the criteria for the existing 25 mile per hour speed limit posting.
Marron Road is classified as a secondary arterial on the Circulation Element of the General Plan and
it terminates about 140 feet east of Avenida de Anita. It has been widened to two traffic lanes in each
direction divided by a striped median with curb and gutter, sidewalk, and street lights on both sides of
the roadway. The road has an average daily traffic volume of 7,000 vehicles east of El Camino Real
and 4,700 vehicles west of Avenida de Anita. Marron Road serves commercial businesses via
driveways on both sides of the road and as access to housing units to the east. Based upon a speed
survey, the 85th percentile speed on Marron Road was found to be 37 miles per hour.
At their meeting October 2, 2006, the Traffic Safety Commission considered the results of the
Engineering and Traffic Survey to establish a prima facie speed limit upon the subject portion of
Marron Road. The Commission recommended by a 4-0 vote that a 35 mile per hour prima facie speed
limit be established upon Marron Road from El Camino Real to its terminus about 140 feet east of
Avenida de Anita.
The current version of the Engineering and Traffic Survey is on file in the office of the City Traffic
Engineer.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The installation of an official traffic control device is a project that is a Class 1 categorical exemption
(minor alteration of existing structure or facility) and is, therefore, exempt from the environmental
review process under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
Section 15301(c).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Installing two speed limit signs upon Marron Road will cost about $250.
FOR CITY CLERKS USE ONLY.
