Updating the posted speed limits will allow the Police Department to legally use radar for enforcement. Staff recommends that the City update its current speed limit survey to comply with State law. At the January 11, 2011 City Council meeting, Ordinance No. 2011 -1 was introduced amending Chapter 12.24 (Special Speed Zones) of the Municipal Code regarding Increasing and Decreasing State Speed Limits. RECOMMENDATION a) Conduct Second Reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2011 -1, and b) direct staff to replace /modify all speed limit signs requiring changes to reflect new speed limits. DISCUSSION Modifications to existing speed limits throughout the City are included in Ordinance No. 2011 -1. This proposed Ordinance was previously discussed at the January 11, 2011 City Council meeting, and at two prior City Council Study Sessions, on September 28, 2010 and November 9. 2010. During the speed limit review process, a total of 99 roadway segments were surveyed. Ordinance No. 2011 -1 incorporates all 99 roadway segments. The results of the study indicate that the speed limits for 34 roadway segments should be raised 5 miles per hour. For 63 roadway segments, the posted speed limits will remain the same. For the segment of Bayside Drive from Promontory Drive East to Marine Avenue, the speed limit is recommended to be decreased 5 mph to 35 mph. For the segment of Coast Citywide Speed Limit Ordinance— Second Reading January 25, 2011 Page 2 Highway between Poppy Avenue and Cameo Shores Drive, it is recommended that the speed limit be increased by 10 miles per hour. It is appropriate, and more efficient, for the City to update the Speed Survey and the controlling Ordinance for the entire city at one time. This will establish legally posted speed limits on all city roadways that will not need to be reviewed again for another 7 to 10 years, depending on the roadway segment. It is important to note that the posted speed limits can be reviewed periodically should the conditions of the roadway change. In the near future, staff will review Bayside Drive, Vista del Oro, Irvine Avenue and Coast Highway for any possible changes to the Ordinance. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060 (c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060 (c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. PUBLIC NOTICE This issue has been taken to one regular City Council meeting and two City Council Study Sessions to date, in addition to being placed on this agenda. All agenda items have been noticed according to the Brown Act. FUNDING AVAILABILITY A preliminary cost estimate for the changing of all of the affected speed limit signs is $ 20,000. There are sufficient funds available in the following account to accomplish this task. Account Description Gas Tax Prepared by: Antony Brine, P.E., .E.

Badum Works Director CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT 3 Agenda Item No. January 11, 2011 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Public Works Department Antony Brine, City Traffic Engineer 949 - 644 -3329 or tbrine @newportbeachca.gov SUBJECT: ESTABLISH UPDATED SPEED LIMITS ON CITY STREETS ISSUE The California Vehicle Code requires speed limits to be justified by an Engineering and Traffic Survey (ET & S) if the speed limits are going to be enforced by radar. Staff recommends that the City update its current speed limit survey to comply with State law. RECOMMENDATION Introduce Ordinance No. 2011 - amending Chapter 12.24 (Special Speed Zones) of the Municipal Code regarding Increasing and Decreasing State Speed Limits. Upon final adoption of Ordinance No. 2011, direct staff to replace /modify all speed limit signs requiring changes to reflect new speed limits. DISCUSSION Proposed modification to existing speed limits on specific streets throughout the City as proposed in Ordinance No. 2011 has been publicly discussed at two prior City Council. Study Sessions, on September 28, 2010 and November 9, 2010. The State requires the City to review its speed limits every 5, 7 or 10 years. As part of this speed survey update, new traffic data was collected for every non - residential street in the city. On June 29, 2009, Caltrans approved a Policy Directive outlining new guidelines for establishing speed limits throughout the State. The basic process is to sample the speed of traffic on a roadway and identify the "critical speed ", or "85th percentile speed ", which is that speed at or below which 85% of the traffic is moving. The speed limit is to be established at the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed. When there is a high accident rate, or there are other "conditions not readily apparent to the driver ", a further reduction of 5 mph may be justified when documented. As discussed at the earlier Study Sessions, these conditions can include sight distance restrictions, high pedestrian and bicycle usage, etc. Public Works staff has reviewed all roadway Establish Updated Speed Limits on City Streets January 11, 2011 Page 2 segments to determine if there are speed related accidents or other conditions that would justify a 5 mph reduction when establishing the posted speed limit. Section 40802 of the California Vehicle Code provides that radar may not be used as an enforcement tool if the posted speed limits are not set in accordance with State requirements. At the most recent Study Session, the Police Department confirmed that they cannot enforce speeds using radar unless the City's speed limits are established per State law. During both Study Sessions, the City Council presented questions and concerns regarding the process of setting speed limits. In addition, the City Council asked staff to review the recommendations for changes to the speed limits on specific streets. The City Council wanted to be certain that all roadway conditions have been reviewed that may support a 5 mph reduction. The recommended speed limit changes herein account for those roadway segments where staff has reduced the required speed limits by 5 mph based on accident records or other conditions. It is important to note that for 20 roadway segments, the posted speed limit will remain unchanged because the roadway conditions and /or accident records justified the 5 mph reduction. Following the most recent Study Session, the recommended speed limit for Via Lido has been changed to match the existing 25 mph, and the recommended speed limit for Riverside Drive has been revised to match the existing 30 mph. A total of 99 roadway segments were surveyed. The results of the study indicate that the speed limits for 34 roadway segments should be raised 5 miles per hour. For 63 roadway segments, the posted speed limits will remain the same. For the segment of Bayside Drive from Promontory Drive East to Marine Avenue, the speed limit is recommended to be decreased 5 mph to 35 mph. For the segment of Coast Highway between Poppy Avenue and Cameo Shores Drive, it is recommended that the speed limit be increased by 10 miles per hour. Exhibits are attached which show the roadways where the speed limits are recommended to be increased (or decreased) by 5 mph or 10 mph. As the exhibits show, the majority of the roadway segments are arterial roads as defined on the City's Master Plan of Streets and Highways. It is appropriate, and more efficient, for the City to update the Speed Survey and the controlling Ordinance for the entire city at one time. This will establish legally posted speed limits on all city roadways that will not need to be reviewed again for another 7 to 10 years, depending on the roadway segment. The updated speed limits will allow the Police Department to legally use radar for enforcement. It is important to note that the posted speed limits can be reviewed periodically should the conditions of the roadway change. Section 12.24.020 of the Municipal Code "Increasing State Speed Limits ", covers those streets where the prima facie speed limit of 25 mph is considered less than is necessary for the safe operation of vehicles. The streets covered in this section are typically narrow, have regular stop signs on intersecting streets, and are primarily residential or collector streets in nature. Establish Updated Speed Limits on City Streets January 11, 2011 Page 3 Section 12.24.050 of the Municipal Code "Decreasing State Speed Limits ", covers those streets where the prima facie State speed limit of 65 mph is considered greater than is reasonable or safe for the conditions of the roadway. These streets are typically arterial roadways outside of business and residence districts. Staff is recommending that the attached new Ordinance be introduced to amend Section 12.24.030; Section 12.24.040; and Sections 12.24.055 through 12.24.085 of the Municipal Code. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQX) pursuant to Sections 15060 (c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060 (c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

We have two young children ages 5 and 7 and they are not safe while out front with cars speeding up and down our street. We live just three houses in from the Tustin and Holiday stop sign and cars are accelerating so rapidly from the stop sign that they are already speeding by the time they reach our house. This is extremely concerning as parents to young children. We fully support implementing traffic calming measures to reduce the speed and traffic on our street and make it safer for everyone and especially our most precious children.
