3 Vision Zero & Speed Management
Local Road Safety Plan & Vision Zero
Policy (June 2023)
City staff to prioritize safety when balancing
needs and demands for space within the public
right of way on the high injury network.
Unsafe speeding identified in the Local Road
Safety Plan as associated with 20% of fatal and
severe injury crashes.
The Speed Management Plan is the
comprehensive approach for the City to reduce
speeds.
4 Speed management is foundational for
enhancing safety
• Speed increases the risk of
death for all collision types,
including auto
• The fatality risk for people
involved in T-bone collisions
increases substantially
between 35 and 45 mph.

5 The Target Speed Framework is the first
step of the Speed Management Plan
Step 1
Determine target speeds
citywide based on roadway
and land use context
Step 2
Select countermeasures to
apply where speeds exceed
desired speeds
Step 3
Develop implementation plan
for priority projects
Step 4
Identify opportunities to
institutionalize safe speeds
6 Target speeds are based on the purpose
served by each roadway
All streets inside Downtown; Local
streets inside commercial areas
Place Streets: 20-25mph3
Arterials & Collectors outside
commercial areas
Connector Streets: 35mph
Industrial Pkwy
Arterials & Collectors inside commercial
areas (Non-downtown) or near schools
Core Streets: 25-30mph1
Jackson Blvd
Local streets outside
commercial areas
Neighborhood Streets: 15mph2
Sleepy Hollow Ave B St
Traffic Level
Land Use Activity
Low Traffic
High Traffic
Fewer Destinations Many Destinations
Notes:
1. Target speeds of 25mph along a
school
2. Target speed of 25mph in industrial
areas
3. Target speed of 25mph on Foothill
Blvd
7 Street Types based
on the Draft Target
Speed Framework
Connector Streets are mostly within
industrial areas, such as Industrial
Parkway, Whipple Road, Clawiter Road,
and Cabot Blvd.
Core Streets are mostly along key
commercial areas, including Mission
Boulevard, Jackson Street, and A Street.
Place Streets are mostly within
Downtown and along mixed use
development near Mission Blvd.
Neighborhood Streets include most of
the City’s local streets.

9 Many corridors exceed
the target speeds by
over 10mph
Connectors and core streets with
substantial segments with speeds
10mph or more over target speed
during the AM peak period:
• Mission Boulevard
• Hesperian Boulevard
• Industrial Parkway
• Jackson Street
• Carlos Bee Boulevard/Hayward
Boulevard
10 Next Steps
• Develop a set of countermeasures to appropriately manage speeds where observed speeds exceed target speeds
• Explore methodology for identifying the top priority speed reduction corridors based on factors such as speed discrepancy, collision history, equity need, and vulnerable user exposure 11 Questions & Feedback
