1. 85th Percentile (collected on 06/18/2026) is 37 mph.
2. City of Manteca rounded the 85th-percentile speed down to the nearest 5 mph increment, as required by California Vehicle Code section 22358.6(b), resulting in a speed limit of 35 mph.
3. City of Manteca reduced the speed limit by 5 mph from the nearest 5-mph increment of the 85th-percentile speed, as authorized by California Vehicle Code section 22358.6(b), resulting in a speed limit of 30 mph; and WHEREAS, the justification for reducing the speed limit by 5 mph from the nearest 5-mph increment of the 85th-percentile speed using CVC Section 22358.6(b) is based on: Crom Street between Union Road and Airport Way is classified as a collector roadway located in close proximity to Stella Brockman Elementary School, fronts a residential district, and is located within a built-out residential area with no expected roadway expansion, and these factors contribute to a roadway environment with increased pedestrian exposure and support consideration of a reduced speed limit in accordance with CVC Section 22358.6(b); and WHEREAS, Amendment No. 2 for The Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits dated August 18, 2026, recommends changing the posted speed limit for the following segment:
