PROPOSED MARINWOOD TRAFFIC ENHANCEMENTS
• TURN RESTRICTIONS• SPEED LIMITS• IMPROVEMENTS
TURN RESTRICTIONS• SOUTHBOUND US 101 - MILLER
CREEK ROAD OFF RAMP• MARINWOOD AVE./MILLER CREEK
RD. INTERSECTION• 6:00 am to 10:00 A.M.
SPEED LIMITS• MILLER CREEK ROAD• LAS GALLINAS AVENUE• BLACKSTONE DRIVE
RAISE THE SPEED LIMIT?But… why??
Two different kinds of speed limits
Maximum Prima Facie
Maximum Speed Limits Written into state law No justification (survey) needed to
enforce w/ radar State maximum for different
roadway designs 55: Max on 2-lane, undivided
roads 65: Max on multi-lane, divided and
undivided roads 70: Max on certain rural freeways
in California
22349(a/b) and 22356(b) CVC
Prima Facie Speed Limits Anything lower than the state
maximums require justification CHP cannot use radar to enforce PF
speed limits without justification Justification is county Engineering and
Traffic Survey (ETS)40802 CVC
Engineering and Traffic Survey
85th percentile 85% of vehicles driving this
road go this speed or lower Speed limit is set to nearest 5
MPH increment below 85th percentile speed
Anything lower is a speed trap
CHP must still articulate in court why speed was unsafe for conditions
CHP cannot enforce a 25 MPH speed limit on Las Gallinas Ave with no ETS
ETS sets safe speed at 30 MPH ANY radar enforcement would be a speed
trap and illegal Vehicle at 40? CHP can do nothing about
it.
Why not keep the 25 MPH on Las Gallinas Ave?
Why raise the limit to 30 MPH on Las Gallinas?
85% of vehicles safely use Las Gallinas Ave at this speed already
Limit would still be 25 at Miller Creek School while children are present
Vehicle at 40? CHP can cite.
