On the basis of this study, it is recommended that the posted speed limits on certain streets be revised and /or re- affirmed by City Council Resolution. 1. Section 40802 of the California Vehicle Code requires, as a prerequisite to the enforcement of any speed law with radar, the preparation, within the past five years, of a traffic speed survey. On August 17, 1994, City Council adopted two (2) resolutions revising speed limits for thirty -one (31) City street segments. The first resolution (Exhibit 'A') allows the Sheriff's Department to utilize radar to enforce speed limits on twenty -nine (29) street segments. The second resolution (Exhibit 'B') adopted speed limits for two (2) street segments setting speed limits at a lesser speed than that recommended by the speed survey, which are not radar enforceable. At said meeting, Staff was directed to reassess those two street segments plus others for which the speed limit has been increased. The street segments to be re- evaluated are listed on Exhibit 'C'. lsignslapd_6_95.rpt 00072 Traffic Study [II] Page 2 BACKGROUND (continued 2.
