AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MOORPARK � ' AL
TO: The Honorable City Council _
FROM: Baldemar Troche, Public Works Management Analyst
DATE: April 25, 1995 (CC Meeting of May 3, 1995)
SUBJECT: Traffic Speed Study [Phase III
OVERVIEW
Presented herewith is the subject report prepared by the City's
consultant for certain designated streets within the City. 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'.
