CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 3
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

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.

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.

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.
