Agenda Item D.1
DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEM
Meeting Date: August 20, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
SUBMITTED BY: Luz “Nina” Buelna, Interim Public Works Director PREPARED BY: Derek Rapp, Contract Traffic Engineer
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending Chapter 10.01 of the Goleta Municipal Code Reducing Speed Limits
RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce and conduct a first reading by title only, waiving further reading of Ordinance No. 24-___ entitled “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Goleta, California, Amending Chapter 10.01 of the Goleta Municipal Code Establishing Certain Streets as Safety Corridors or Facilities that Generate High Concentrations of Bicyclists or Pedestrians, Reducing Speed Limits on Said Streets , and Finding that the Ordinance is Exempt from the Environmental Quality Act”
BACKGROUND:
To enforce speed limits using radar or similar devices, the City must conduct Engineering and Traffic Surveys (E&TS), following requirements established by the California Vehicle Code and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). These requirements are in place to avoid creating speed traps, where posted speeds are significantly below what drivers would expect based on perceived roadway and roadside conditions. Once adopted, per California Vehicle Code Section 40802 (c)(2)(B)(II) the E&TS are valid for up to fourteen years, assuming there have been no significant changes to adjoining property or land use, roadway width, or traffic volume. The City’ s existing E&TS are currently up to date.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates excessive speed contributes to approximately one-third of all roadway fatalities. Speed plays an even more significant role in the severity of collisions involving cyclists and pedestrians. The mortality rate doubles when speeds increase from 25 to 35 miles per hour. 1 Meeting Date: August 20, 2024
DISCUSSION:
Assembly Bill (AB) 43, signed into law in October 2021, gives communities new tools to reduce speeds on roadways to reduce the number of traffic-related serious injuries and deaths. All provisions of AB 43 came into effect on June 30, 2024. These new tools allow local jurisdictions to lower speed limits by five (5) mph in designated areas that meet specific criteria. Areas where speed limits may be reduced include:
Safety Corridors
California Vehicle Code section 22358.7(a)(1) allows agencies to reduce speed limits in Safety Corridors. The CA MUTCD defines safety corridors as roadway segments with the highest number of serious injuries and fatal collisions. Other factors that may be used to identify safety corridors include:
Travel mode involved
School proximity (<0.25 mi.)
Disadvantaged Community Status (per CalEnviroScreen)
Vulnerable Populations (per the American Community Survey) – Seniors (65+) and Youth (<15)
The definition restricts safety corridors to not more than 20% of the overall roadway network. In the City of Goleta, with just over 85 centerline miles of roadway, approximately 17 centerline miles of roadway are eligible as safety corridors. The table in Attachment 1 shows Goleta’s proposed safety corridors based on five years of serious and fatal collision data from 2018 through 2022.
High Concentrations of Bicyclists or Pedestrians
California Vehicle Code section 22358.7(a)(2) permits speed reductions on roadways within one-quarter mile of lands or facilities that generate high concentrations of bicyclists and pedestrians, especially those from vulnerable groups such as children, seniors, persons with disabilities, and the unhoused. These areas are summarized in the CA MUTCD. See Table 1 below.

Business Activity Districts
Another tool local jurisdictions can use when establishing speed limits is by ordinance, declaring a 20 or 25 mph prima facie speed limit within a business activity district.
California Vehicle Code section 22358.9 defines a “business activity district” as a portion of a 4 -lane maximum roadway and property contiguous thereto that includes central or neighborhood downtowns, urban villages, or zoning designations that prioritize commercial land uses at the down town or neighborhood scale and meets at least three of the following four requirements:
1. No less than 50% of the property fronting the roadway consists of retail or dining commercial uses.
2. On-street parking.
3. Traffic control devices (signals or stop signs) at no more than 600 feet intervals.
4. Marked crosswalks not controlled by a traffic control device.
3 Meeting Date: August 20, 2024
In addition, the speed limits on the roadway segments immediately prior to and after the business activity district must be no more than five (5) mph higher than the proposed business activity district's prima facie speed limit. No street segments in the City of Goleta meet these requirements, and this Council item does not recommend any speed limits for business activity districts. Hollister Avenue in Old Town is the only segment that meets three of the four criteria above, but the segment immediately to the west of Fairview Avenue (in the City of Santa Barbara) is posted at 45 mph, well above the 30 mph required for a 25 mph business activity district designation. This segment of Hollister Avenue qualifies as a safety corridor with a recommended speed limit of 25 mph. Staff is coordinating with the City and County of Santa Barbara regarding speed limit transitions across our city limits.
Application of Speed Limit Reduction Tools
The following flow chart depicts how speed limits may be set based on the new laws.
Figure 1: Speed Limit Determination Decision Tree

Speed Limit Examples
Until the adoption of AB 43, local agencies had two means of establishing speed limits.
These included rounding the observed 85th percentile speed and E&TS.
Speed data was collected in the field and the 85 th percentile speed, or speed at which 85% of the measured tr affic was traveling at or below, was calculated. The standard practice was to set the speed limit at the nearest 5 miles per hour increment to the 85th percentile speed. If the nearest 5-mile-per-hour increment involved rounding up, the local agency could choose to round down instead. However, no other speed limit reductions via an E&TS were permitted if the agency selected this option . If the nearest 5-mile-per- hour increment involved rounding down, agencies could lower the speed limit by an additional 5 miles per hour if justified by an E&TS.
An E&TS is an engineering study that considers speeds, collisions, residential density, conditions not readily apparent to the driver and vulnerable groups ( children, seniors, persons with disabilities, users of personal assistive mobility devices, and the unhoused) to determine whether the speed limit established by the rounding methods discussed above are reasonable and safe. If the E&TS demonstrates that th e speed limit is not reasonable and safe and the above rounding rules allow for further reduction, the agency may lower the speed limit an additional five (5) miles per hour.
The recent changes to the vehicle code through AB 43 add safety corridors and high concentrations of bicyclists or pedestrians as a new tool to reduce speed limits by an additional five (5) miles per hour. Staff proposes to amend Chapter 10.01 of the Goleta Municipal Code to establish (1) safety corridors and facilities with high concentrations of bicyclists or pedestrians pursuant to AB 43 and (2) speed limits on roadway segments in the subject areas. It should be noted that AB 43 requires the City to only issue warning citations for violations exceeding the speed limit by 10 miles per hour or less for the first 30 days that a lower speed limit is in effect pursuant to AB 43. (Vehicle Code section 22358.7(d))
The following examples in Table 2 and Table 3 below demonstrate the speed limit setting procedures and the impact of the new laws.

FISCAL IMPACTS:
The fiscal impacts consist of installing new speed limit signage and replacing speed limit legends placed on the pavement. The estimated cost for this work is $120,000. The Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget from account 101-50-5800-51031 Special Department Supplies will be used to purchase the signs and account 101 -50-5800-51300 Contract Services to install them. There is sufficient budget for these expenses.
