Home My WebLink About03 - Speed Limits In Newport Coasts January 22, 2002 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 3 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Public Works Department SUBJECT: ESTABLISH SPEED LIMITS ON STREETS THAT WERE RECENTLY ANNEXED BY THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH RECOMMENDATION: Introduce Ordinance No. 2002- amending Chapter 12.24 (Special Speed Zones) of the Municipal Code to add streets recently relinquished to or annexed by the City of Newport Beach. DISCUSSION: Several street segments were recently annexed by the City of Newport Beach from the County of Orange. The California Vehicle Code (CVC) requires that speed limits be established by an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E &TS) if radar or laser is to be used by law enforcement to determine motorists' speed. Staff has performed Engineering and Traffic Surveys on all of the public streets in Newport Coast in compliance with the requirements set forth in the CVC and recommends the following speed limits be established. Currently some streets are posted, and some are not. Those that are not posted have a prima facie limit of 65 MPH, so it is important to establish valid limits on those streets. The only street with a posted limit that is proposed to be changed is Vista Ridge Road. It is currently posted for 40 MPH, and the E &TS documents the appropriate speed limit is 45 MPH. Forty miles per hour: Forty -five miles per hour: Fifty miles per hour: Fifty -five miles per hour: Sixty miles per hour: Respectfull u witted, UBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Stephan G.
