BACKGROUND:
The monthly outdoor concert series is a key initiative to revitalize our downtown through live music, community engagement, and cultural programming. The series will launch in partnership with Take Five Entertainment, a professional event production company with a strong track record of organizing large-scale concerts for municipalities, including the City of Indio.
This concert series is an important part of the City’s Strategic Plan to improve community livability, encourage economic development, and position Desert Hot Springs as a cultural hub within the Coachella Valley. By bringing people together through music in a welcoming outdoor setting, the series aims to foster stronger community connections, attract visitors, and support local businesses.
This initiative contributes to the City’s long-term goal of becoming a recognized destination for both residents and tourists.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed series will feature 12 themed monthly concerts held on the last Saturday of each month from October 2025 through September 2026. Concerts will take place along Pierson Boulevard, activating the downtown corridor with live music, vendors, and cultural activities. This initiative complements the City’s investment in public art, including the growing number of vibrant murals in the downtown area, creating a cohesive and visually engaging cultural experience for attendees.
Each concert will highlight a different musical theme or genre, showcasing high-quality tribute and original acts across rock, pop, Latin, Motown, and more. The concerts are designed to provide inclusive, multigenerational entertainment that engages all segments of the Desert Hot Springs community.

Take Five Entertainment is excited to present our proven model for transforming downtown areas into vibrant cultural destinations, and we are eager to bring this vision to Desert Hot Springs. Having partnered with the City of Indio to produce the successful Second Saturdays concert series, we have seen firsthand the power of live events in changing perceptions. Our goal was to turn a once desolate downtown into a safe, dynamic cultural hub, and we achieved this by activating the heart of Indio with engaging, multi-generational, and multi-ethnic experiences. We believe that the same approach can work for Desert Hot Springs, creating a thriving arts and entertainment scene that draws locals and visitors alike.
By showcasing world-class musicians, artists, and performances, we aim to shine a spotlight on your downtown area, enriching the entire community and boosting local engagement. Just as we’ve helped Indio reshape its identity as a creative haven, we are committed to doing the same for Desert Hot Springs, establishing it as a vibrant and inviting cultural destination. This collaboration will not only inspire residents but also attract a diverse audience, fostering a sense of pride and connection within the Coachella Valley.

Subject: Engineering and Traffic Survey
RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce for First Reading and read by title only: "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs Adopting an Engineering and Traffic Survey, Establishing Maximum Speed Limits on Streets Within the City of Desert Hot Springs, and Amending Section 10.32.010 of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code."
BACKGROUND:
The City Council is authorized by the State of California Vehicle Code to establish speed limits on local streets. In order to use radar as an enforcement tool, these speed limits must be established based on an engineering and traffic survey, in accordance with methods formulated by the State Department of Transportation, Caltrans. The speed limits established by these surveys are effective for seven (7) years and may be extended to 14 years if a registered engineer evaluates the section of the roadway and determines that no significant changes in roadway or traffic conditions have occurred. These changes could be a change in adjoining property, land use, roadway width, or traffic volume. These surveys may be performed more frequently if the Council chooses.
DISCUSSION:
An engineering and traffic survey collects vehicle data along specific road segments and evaluates the various factors to establish a recommended speed limit based on those factors. In general a speed limit is set at the 85th percentile (nearest 5 mph) of the actual speeds that were collected.
There are some specific adjustments that can be made based on each scenario.
Title 10 of the Municipal Code governs speed limits within the City. An engineering and traffic survey was last adopted in 2019. A new engineering and traffic survey dated April 18, 2025 was performed by Nayam Amin, Registered Traffic Engineer 2290, with TJKM Transportation Consultants, which is on file with the in the City Clerk’s Office.
The City Engineer has reviewed the survey and agrees with the report and recommendations. Below is a summary of recommended changes, the detailed summary of the recommendations from the engineering report is shown in the attachments.

ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY | CITY OF DESERT HOT SPRINGS 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the posted speed limits for 50 segments within the City of Desert Hot Springs and recommend speed limit changes, if any, in accordance with the State of California regulations and guidelines. CVC Section 40802 requires that Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) for speed limits should be conducted at least once every seven or 14 years based on established criteria. State and local agencies re-evaluate non-statutory speed limits on their street segments that have undergone a significant change in roadway characteristics or surrounding land uses since the speed limits were last reviewed.
The California State Legislature sets in place the regulations for California speed limits and the California Vehicle Code (CVC) places these regulations into language used primarily for enforcement purposes.
Various jurisdictions have responsibility for roadways throughout California, including the responsibility to set speed limits on these roadways according to the standards and procedures established by Caltrans. The guidelines from the California Manual for Setting Speed Limits published by Caltrans (Rev. February, 2020) are used in this study. These guidelines help in establishing speed limits that are uniform throughout the state and avoid influence from political pressure or emotional perceptions.
Speed limits are established primarily for protecting the public from the behavior of reckless, unreliable, or dangerous drivers. Speed limits are generally established at or near the 85th percentile speed. The 85th percentile speed, also referred to as the critical speed, is defined as the speed at or below which 85 percent of traffic is moving in free flow conditions. Speed limits established on this basis conform to the consensus of those who drive on the roadways as to what speed is reasonable and safe under normal driving conditions. Figure 1 illustrates the various speed limit signs for different zones and roadways.
Figure 1: Types of Speed Limits
Many factors influence drivers and their perception of the safe speed at which to operate a vehicle. These factors should be considered because it is not practical to consider each individually. The design and physical characteristics of the roadway place limitations on the safe operating speed of vehicles. These characteristics include, but are not limited to:
Roadway geometrics, shoulder condition, grade, alignment, and sight distance.

1.1 Relevant California Vehicle Code Sections
Applicable California Vehicle Code (CVC) Code sections for conducting an E&TS are summarized below:
CVC SECTION 235 – BUSINESS DISTRICT: An area in which at least 50 percent of the properties are used for business for a minimum distance of 400 feet on one side or 300 feet on both sides of a highway.
CVC SECTION 515 – RESIDENCE DISTRICT: An area outside of the Business District along a highway that has a minimum of 13 separate dwelling units on one side, or 16 on both sides within a distance of a quarter mile.
CVC SECTION 627 – ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY: A survey of highway and traffic conditions in accordance with methods determined by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for use by state and local authorities, which shall include consideration of prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements, collision records, and highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver. Local authorities may also consider residential district density (as defined in Section 515) and pedestrian and bicyclist safety.
CVC SECTION 22349 – MAXIMUM SPEED LIMITS: Provides that no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than 65 mph. An exception to this, as stated in CVC Section 22356, is that Caltrans may increase the speed and these increases can only be made after consultation with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and based on an engineering and traffic survey. Even if the maximum speed is raised, certain vehicles are still not permitted to be driven over 55 mph. These are listed below:
Motor trucks having three or more axles or any truck towing another vehicle Passenger vehicles towing other vehicles
School buses transporting school pupils
Farm labor vehicles transporting passengers
Vehicles transporting explosives
CVC SECTION 22350 – BASIC SPEED LAW: Provides that no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property. In other words, a driver violates the basic speed law if he or she is driving at unsafe speeds, even if that speed is lower than the posted regulatory speed limit sign.
CVC SECTION 22351 – SPEED LAW VIOLATIONS: States that the speed of any vehicle upon a highway not in excess of the limits specified in CVC Section 22352 or established as authorized in the CVC is lawful unless clearly proved to be in violation of the Basic Speed Law. This same section also states that the speed of any vehicle upon a highway in excess of the prima facie speed limits in CVC Section 22352 or established as authorized in the CVC is unlawful unless the defendant establishes by competent evidence that the speed in excess of said limits did not constitute a violation of the Basic Speed Law at the time, place and under the conditions then existing.
Item Number: 14.
ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY | CITY OF DESERT HOT SPRINGS 10 CVC SECTION 22352 – PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMITS: Establishes prima facie speed limits for local roads and streets. The term “prima facie”, as used in the CVC, is a speed limit that applies when no other specific speed limit is posted. It is a Latin term meaning “at first face” or “at first appearance”. It is also defined as “first view” and “before investigation”. Prima facie evidence is evidence sufficient to establish fact, or to raise presumption of fact, unless rebutted. These speed limits shall be applicable unless changed as authorized in the CVC and, if so changed, only when signs have been erected giving notice thereof. It sets two speed limits covering six classes of location.
A speed limit of 15 mph applies at railroad crossings, at uncontrolled highway intersections with obstructed view, and on alleys. A speed limit of 25 mph applies on any highway other than State highways in any business or residence district, unless a different limit is established by procedures described in the CVC. The 25 mph limit also applies in school zones.
CVC SECTION 22357 (INCREASE OF LOCAL SPEED LIMITS TO 65 MPH) AND CVC SECTION 22358 (DECREASE OF LOCAL SPEED LIMITS): Authorizes local authorities to establish prima facie speed limits on streets and roads under their jurisdiction, on the basis of an engineering and traffic survey.
CVC SECTION 22358.3 (DECREASE ON NARROW STREETS) AND CVC SECTION 22358.4 (DECREASE OF LOCAL LIMITS NEAR SCHOOLS OR SENIOR CENTERS): Authorizes local agencies to reduce prima facie speed limits to 20 or 15 mph on narrow streets (with roadway width less than 25 feet), school zones, or senior centers on the basis of engineering and traffic surveys.
CVC SECTION 22358.5 – DOWNWARD SPEED ZONING: Physical conditions such as width, curvature, grade, and surface conditions, or any other condition readily apparent to a driver, in the absence of other factors, would not require special downward speed zoning.
CVC SECTION 22358.6 – ROUNDING OF SPEED LIMITS: Authorizes local agencies to round speed limits to the nearest five miles per hour of the 85th percentile speed of the free-flowing traffic. In cases where the 85th percentile speed results in rounding up to the nearest five-mile per hour increment, the local authority may round the speed limit down to the lower five-mile per hour increment. Local authorities may additionally lower the speed limit as provided by CVC Section 22358.7 and CVC Section 22358.8.
CVC SECTION 22358.7 – 5 MPH SPEED LIMIT REDUCTION: Authorizes local agencies to reduce the speed limit by an additional 5 mph if the portion of highway has been designated as a “safety corridor,” as defined in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD; Table 2), or if the portion of highway is adjacent to any land or facility that generates high concentrations of bicyclists or pedestrians (Table 3), especially those from vulnerable groups such as children, senior, persons with disabilities, and the unhoused.
The procedure of rounding speed limits according to CVC Section 22358.6 and CVC Section 22358.7 is tabulated in Table 4.

Category Factors
Crash Weighting Factors to Develop One
Serious/Fatal Injury Safety Corridor
Crash weighting can be developed using fatal and serious injury crash data and other factors to prioritize safety corridors. Suggested weighting factors are as follows:
Crash severity: Fatal Crashes, Serious Injury Crashes Mode: Pedestrian-bicycle related crashes,
vehicle/other
Disadvantaged Community Status: MPO/RTPA or
locally defined disadvantaged community status
based on most current version of CalEnviroScreen
Vulnerable Populations: Seniors (age 65 and older)
and Youth (under age 15) based on the American
Community Survey
School proximity (within 0.25 miles) based on the
California School Campus Database
Crash Density
Each roadway segment block can be converted into ~ 0.25 mile overlapping "corridor" segments to create a consistent unit of measurement and assess the concentration of linear patterns of injuries within a define[d] distance. The highest scoring (i.e. most fatal and serious injury crashes per mile) "corridor" segments within a street needs to be identified and an appropriate threshold set to determine safety corridor eligibility.
Maintenance
The jurisdiction can establish a review and re-evaluation frequency for safety corridors. However, such frequency need not exceed seven years.

2.0 DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
The basic purpose of this study is to evaluate selected arterial, collector, and local streets within the City of Desert Hot Springs limits and to recommend appropriate speed limit revisions consistent with current laws and practices of California. The TJKM team, in coordination with the City of Desert Hot Springs staff, coordinated the E&TS. The data collection procedure and speed survey analysis methodology are briefly discussed below.
2.1 Radar Speed Surveys and Analysis
The speed surveys involve the use of radar guns to collect sample speeds on selected street segments. A key aspect for conducting the surveys is to ensure that street segments with unique characteristics are individually surveyed. The most crucial component of a speed zone survey is the selection of locations for the data collection task. The prevailing speed at the data collection point was selected to be representative of the entire speed zone area.
The project team worked with the City of Desert Hot Springs staff and finalized the 50 street segments to be analyzed in this E&TS. Radar speed surveys were conducted in February 2025 on days with fair weather, clear visibility, and dry pavement conditions. The survey locations were selected where the prevailing speeds were representative of the entire street segment and were not too close to any traffic control device. The selected locations were situated beyond the influence of stops, dips, curves, parked vehicles, and any other condition that may affect the normal rate of travel. An effort was made to ensure that the presence of radar survey equipment did not affect the speed of the traffic being surveyed.
The radar speed surveys were conducted for all study segments, using calibrated radar equipment by certified technicians. Most samples sizes for a particular segment include around 100 vehicles. In the case of low volume roadways, surveys were conducted for a minimum of a 90-minute period.
A Speed Survey Form was used to collect and summarize the following attributes:
Street surveyed
Precise location
Street direction
Date/day of the survey
Start time & end time of survey
Number of vehicles surveyed
85th percentile speed, 50th percentile speed, 10-mile pace Percent and number of vehicles observed within the 10-mph pace speed Percent and number of vehicles observed below pace
Percent and number of vehicles observed above pace
Range of speeds observed and standard deviation
Item Number: 14.
ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY | CITY OF DESERT HOT SPRINGS 14 A description of some of the attributes is provided below:
50TH PERCENTILE SPEED (MEDIAN SPEED): The speed above and below which 50 percent of the sample speeds were observed. This value indicates the speed that a driver may choose to drive without the influence of any speed limits, speed signs, or enforcement.
85TH PERCENTILE SPEED (CRITICAL SPEED): The speed at or below 85 percent of the sample speeds were observed. The 85th percentile speed of a spot speed survey is the primary indicator of the appropriate speed limit for a section of the roadway.
10 MPH PACE SPEED: The 10-mph increment (range) of speeds containing the greatest number of vehicles.
In most cases, the 85th percentile speed and the recommended speed lie within the range, frequently in the middle to upper range of the interval. The percentage of vehicles that fall within the pace speed is an indicator of the bunching of vehicular speeds. The number of observed vehicles within the 10-mph pace is often between 40 and 80 percent of the entire sample.
AVERAGE SPEED: The average speed is simply the cumulative speed divided by the number of observed vehicles.
SPEED RANGE: The range of speed is simply the difference in speeds of the fastest and slowest vehicles observed. A large range of speeds (more than 30 mph, for example) indicates less favorable conditions than a smaller range. The greater the range, the more inconsistency in travel speeds with a greater likelihood of traffic collisions. In general, uniform speeds result in a smooth progression of traffic.
The radar speed survey data was compiled and analyzed to determine the 50th percentile speed, the 85th percentile speed, the average speed, the speed range, the 10-mph pace speed, and the percentage of vehicles observed within the 10-mph pace.
Table 5 presents the speed survey summary with existing speed limits, median speed, critical speed, 10- mile pace speed, and the percent of vehicles observed within pace. The completed speed survey forms for all 50 study segments are included in Appendix A.
2.2 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) Volumes
The TJKM team collected average daily traffic (ADT) counts for all study segments by conducting tube counts along the segments. These counts were used to determine the collision rates for each segment, which in turn was used as a factor in determining the appropriate speed limit for each segment. Table 6 summarizes the roadway classification and ADT volumes for each study segment. The existing ADT volumes for the survey segments are illustrated in Figure 4. The ADT counts are available in Appendix A.
Item Number: 14.
ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY | CITY OF DESERT HOT SPRINGS 15
2.3 Field Observations
A final field check was conducted by driving each study segment while “floating” with prevailing traffic to determine the speed of traffic that is reasonable from the engineer’s viewpoint. The traffic engineer evaluates the appropriateness of the 85th percentile speed and adds the perspective of human judgment to set the appropriate speed limit. Factors such as roadside development, the number and location of driveways, parked vehicles; emergency shoulder areas, schools and playgrounds, areas frequented by pedestrians, horizontal and vertical alignment of the roadway, intersection spacing, visibility and control, landscaping, street fixtures, and other less tangible factors, all contribute to finalizing the recommended speed limits.

2.4 Traffic Collision Data
Collisions reported at study segments were obtained from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database for a period of five years from January 2019 to December 2023. Collision rates are a significant factor in determining the appropriate speed limits.
Table 7 summarizes the type and the total number of collisions for all study segments. Error! Reference source not found. and Figure 5 summarize the collision rates for the study segments in comparison with the statewide averages. Additional collision data is available in Appendix B of this report.
Definitions for Collision Types: The types of collisions and their definitions are defined by CHP and are listed below:
Head-On: Two motor vehicles, approaching from opposite directions, make direct contact. For example, the front of one vehicle collides with the front of another, or prior to impact, one vehicle skids sideways, causing the side of the skidding vehicle to collide with the front of the other.
Sideswipe: One motor vehicle strikes the side of another with a glancing blow. For example, two vehicles are proceeding in the same direction or from opposite directions, and the side of one vehicle strikes the side of the other.
Rear End: Two motor vehicles, traveling in the same direction, make direct contact. For example, the front of one vehicle strikes the rear of another vehicle, or Vehicle #1 approaches Vehicle #2 from the rear and skids sideways during a braking action, causing the side of Vehicle #1 to strike the rear of Vehicle #2.
Broadside: One motor vehicle strikes another vehicle at an angle greater than that of a sideswipe.
Hit Object: A motor vehicle strikes a fixed object or other object.
Overturned: A motor vehicle overturns and no prior collision or hitting an object caused the overturning.
This would include a motorcyclist losing control, causing the vehicle to lie down on its side.
Auto/Ped: A vehicle strikes a pedestrian.
Other: A collision not covered in the preceding elements. This entry shall be explained in the narrative, such as a vehicle involved with - a bicycle, train, or animal; an automobile fire; passengers falling or jumping from a vehicle; a vehicle backing; a bicycle involved with a pedestrian or another bicycle, etc.

3.0 SPEED LIMIT RECOMMENDATIONS
The setting of speed limits requires a rational and defensible procedure to maintain the confidence of the public and legal systems. Speed limit determinations rely on the premise that a reasonable speed limit is one that conforms to the actual behavior of most drivers; one will be able to select a speed limit that is both reasonable and effective by measuring drivers' speeds.
The speed zoning section of the CA MUTCD was changed in 2004 to rounding the 85th percentile to the nearest 5 mph increment rather than to the lower 5 mph increment in order to better conform to the standards established in the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA’s) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). This specific guideline revision resulted in raising certain street speed limits and had become a challenge to state and local jurisdictions.
In 2007, the California Traffic Control Devices Committee (CTCDC) ruled out approving a language change in the CA MUTCD to clarify how local speed limits should be set. Caltrans ultimately issued a Traffic Operations Policy Directive (No. 09-04), effective July 1, 2009, which clearly defined these changes and incorporated new requirements into the CA MUTCD. The changes are summarized below:
Posted speed limits will be set "rounded to the nearest" 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed. Jurisdictions can lower this speed by an additional 5 mph based on and justified by conditions and factors cited in the California Vehicle Code.
Studies of the effects of establishing, raising, and lowering speed limits include federal studies such as FHWA-RD92-084 and FHWA-RD-98-154. These studies demonstrate that the most effective attribute in establishing the speed limit is to determine the 85th percentile speed and to set the posted speed close to that value. The empirical data in these studies demonstrates that setting the speed limit too high or too low can increase collisions. Speed limits that are set near the 85th percentile speed of free-flowing traffic are safer and produce less variance in vehicle speeds. Because of this, the 85th percentile is used to establish the upper limit of operating speeds that are considered reasonable and prudent. In addition, setting the speed limit arbitrarily low often makes violators of a disproportionate number of drivers, does not facilitate the orderly movement of traffic, and requires constant enforcement to maintain compliance.
The 2014 Edition of the CA MUTCD requires as a standard that a speed limit shall be established at the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed, except that 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 CVC 22358.5.
According to CVC 21400, for cases in which the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed would require rounding up, the speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5 mph increment below the 85th percentile speed if no further reduction is used. The following examples are provided to explain the application of these speed limit criteria:
If the 85th percentile speed in a speed survey for a location was 37 mph, then the speed limit would be established at 35 mph since it is the closest 5 mph increment to the 37-mph speed. The 35-mph Item Number: 14.
ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY | CITY OF DESERT HOT SPRINGS 37 established speed limit can be reduced by an additional 5 mph to 30 mph if the conditions and justification for using this lower speed limit are documented in the E&TS and approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer; and
If the 85th percentile speed in a speed survey for a location was 33 mph, then the speed limit would be established at 35 mph since it is the closest 5 mph increment to the 33-mph speed. The 35-mph established speed limit can be reduced by 5 mph to 30 mph if the conditions and justification for using this lower speed limit are documented in the E&TS and are approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer.
Section 2B.13 of the 2014 CA MUTCD further states that justification for reducing speed limits can be based on residential density, pedestrian/bicyclist safety and other factors not readily apparent to drivers but essential to meet the traffic safety needs of the community. The following factors may be considered to adjust and determine the final speed limits:
Road characteristics, shoulder condition, grade, alignment, and sight distance 10 mph speed (a 10-mile range in which the highest number of data is recorded) Roadside development and environment
Parking practices and bicycle/pedestrian activity
Reported crash experience for at least a 12-month period On October 8, 2021, the procedure for establishing local speed limits was changed once again with Assembly Bill No. 43 (AB 43) being signed into law (and later clarified by Assembly Bill 1938 in 2022). Whereas the previous procedure required no further action be taken after rounding down to the nearest 5 mph increment below the 85th percentile speed, AB 43 allows a local authority to use an additional 5 mph reduction if a portion of highway has been designated as a “safety corridor” as is defined by Caltrans in the CA MUTCD or if a portion of highway is adjacent to any land or facility that generates high concentrations of bicyclists or pedestrians, particularly those from vulnerable groups such as children, seniors, persons with disabilities, and the unhoused. The procedure is shown in Figure 6.
The existing speed limit may also be retained if it was established in the previous E&TS and if a registered traffic engineer has determined that no additional general-purpose lanes have been added to the portion of highway since completion of the previous E&TS.

Source: 2014 CA MUTCD, Revision 7, Table 2B-104(CA)
The guidelines from the California Manual for Setting Speed Limits published by Caltrans (Rev. January 2024) were followed in this study. The speed limit recommendations are proposed for 17 street segments in the study based on the above discussed guidelines and speed data analysis. The speed limit for each study segment was recommended after determining the average speed, the 85th percentile speed, the pace speed, and considering other significant factors such as existing land use, roadway design characteristics and collision rates. Appendix A presents the recommended speed limit certifications of the traffic survey analyses, which include prevailing speed data, collision history, traffic factors, and roadway conditions. The recommended speed limit for each street segment is also shown with a comment on the rationale for the recommendation. Figure 7 illustrates the segments where speed limit changes are recommended. Figure 8 illustrates the recommended speed limits at the respective study segments. Table 9 tabulates the recommended speed limits. 30 35
