PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
RESOLUTION NO. 99-3, ESTABLISHING PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMITS ON CITY
STREETS
SUMMARY:
AdoPtion of ResolUtion No. 99-3 Will establish Citywide speed limits on certain streets based upon engineering
and traffic surVeys'
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 99-3 establishing citywide speed limits.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City involved with this item.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to the California Vehicle Code (CVC), the City has the ability to establish prima facie speed limits on
City streets on the basis of engineering and traffic surVeys. CVC Section 627 indicates that engineering and
traffic surVeys need to be conducted in accordance with methods determined by the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) and shall include, among other requirements, consideration of all of the following:
o
Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements.
Accident records.
Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver.
The CVC requires that speed limits on City streets be justified by engineering and traffic surveys conducted
within five-year periods for police enforcement involving the use of radar or other electronic devices, which
measure the speed of moving objects. The most recent Citywide speed limits were established in January 1994.
DISCUSSION:
The Engineering Division has completed Citywide engineering and traffic surveys establishing speed limits for
116 City street segments. The attached Tables 1 and 2 indicate recommended speed limit changes. Speed limit
changes are due to changes in the public's driving characteristics, safety history of the street segments, and
conditions not readily apparent to drivers. Standard engineering procedures and methodologies consistent with
CVC requirements have been used to conduct the engineering and traffic surveys and to establish the
recommended speed limits. These surveys allow for continued enforcement of posted speed limits by the
Tustin Police Department with the use of radar.
