15 ESTABLISHMENT OF PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMITS ON 9 STREETS TPC PRESENTATION Special Meeting February 22, 2018 Justin Link, P.E., T.E., QSD Transportation Services Manager

16 BACKGROUND Speed limits on streets that do not have statutory speed limits are required to be surveyed every 5 years by CVC 627 and 40802, with the ability to extend to 7 years and 10 years provided conditions have not changed significantly during that time. Streets with statutory speed limits: Residential Streets, Streets in Commercial (Downtown) Districts, alleys, freeways. Speed Limits TPC 2

17 BACKGROUND The 85th-percentile speed, the speed at which 85% of vehicles during a survey travel, is what the City uses to establish speed limits on streets that do not have statutory speed limits. The 85th-percentile speed is established by a radar/lidar speed survey. Speed Limits TPC 3

18 BACKGROUND Oxnard Police Department motor officers conducted speed surveys in December, January and February. City Staff reduced the data and prepared recommendations for changes to existing speed limits. Speed limits in the City of Oxnard are listed in Section 8-2 of the City Code and amendments require City Council Action. Speed Limits TPC 4

19 BACKGROUND Other pertinent information for establishment of speed limits is contained in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD) Methodology for establishing speed limits (CA-MUTCD Section 2B.13): When a speed limit is to be posted, it shall be established at the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th-percentile speed of free-flowing traffic, except as shown in the two Options below. The posted speed may be reduced by 5 mph from the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th-percentile speed, in compliance with CVC Sections 627 and See Standard below for documentation requirements. (5 mph reduction is referenced in Section 21400(b)) For cases in which the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85thpercentile speed would require a rounding up, then the speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5 mph increment below the 85th percentile speed, if no further reduction is used. Refer to CVC Section 21400(b). Speed Limits TPC 5

20 BACKGROUND Methodology for establishing speed limits (CA-MUTCD Section 2B.13): If the speed limit to be posted has had the 5 mph reduction applied, then an E&TS shall document in writing the conditions and justification for the lower speed limit and be approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer. The reasons for the lower speed limit shall be in compliance with CVC Sections 627 and Anywhere an additional 5 mph reduction is taken is documented in the recommendations. Speed Limits TPC 6
