HomeMy WebLinkAbout5/17/2000 - STAFF REPORTS (21) DATE: May 17, 2000 TO: City Council FROM: City Engineer and Aviation Director SPEED ZONING ON AIRPORT ENTRANCE ROAD RECOMMENDATION: That City Council adopt the attached Ordinance modifying speed limits on Airport Entrance Road from El Cielo Road to Ramon Road, and authorize the City Engineer to cause signs to be placed on said streets posting notice thereof. BACKGROUND: In order to use radar for the enforcement of speed limits in local jurisdictions, the California Vehicle Code specifies that the speed limits must be established on the basis of an "Engineering and Traffic Survey", and adjusted thereafter at 5 year intervals. The Airport Entrance Road was constructed 2 years ago and the Police Dept. has recently begun radar speed enforcement. The speed limit was initially posted at 30 mph. In order to legalize a speed limit and avoid having citations thrown out by the Traffic Court, an engineering study was performed. The result of the study indicate the speed limit itself should be 40 mph, with advisory 30 mph speed limits and warning signs in advance of the curves. -964- DAVID J.
