AGENDA REPORT
Department: Engineering & Public Works
Prepared by: Stephen Manganiello, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Meeting Date: Tuesday, October 17, 2023
Approved by: Ben Martinez, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT:
Introduction and First Reading of the Ordinance Establishing Speed Limits Based on Engineering and Traffic Surveys
RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce the Ordinance by First Reading, entitled, “Ordinance of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Establishing Speed Limits on Various Streets Based on Engineering and Traffic Surveys and Authorizing the Director of Public Works to Post Speed Limit Signs Consistent with the Recommendations of the Engineering and Traffic Surveys.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:
At their meeting on August 16, 2023, the Traffic Safety Committee were present and voted unanimously in support of the recommendations of the Engineering and Traffic Surveys.
EXPLANATION:
Section 22357 of the State of California Vehicle Code (CVC) permits local authorities to establish speed limits greater than the prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour (mph) when, on the basis of an engineering and traffic survey (E&TS), the local authority determines that a speed greater than 25 mph would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe. Section 627 of the CVC and Section 2B.13 of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD) outline the following criteria to be considered as part of conducting an E&TS:
1) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements. 2) Accident Records.
3) Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver. 4) Residential Density.
5) Safety of bicyclists and pedestrians, with increased consideration for vulnerable pedestrian groups including children, seniors, persons with disabilities, users of personal assistive mobility devices, and the unhoused.
The process begins with establishing speed zones to protect the public from the unreasonable behavior of reckless, unreliable, or otherwise dangerous drivers. Speed zones are also established to advise drivers of road conditions or hazards that may not be readily apparent to a reasonable driver. For that reason, a field review of related road/traffic variables is conducted which considers the analytical data and accident history of a particular roadway segment to determine a safe and reasonable speed limit. Next the criteria listed above in combination with other factors such as 85th percentile speed, pace, and incremental changes in speeds from one
zone to the next, are analyzed using the methodologies established in the CVC and CA-MUTCD to recommend speed limits.
The CVC and CA-MUTCD recommend establishing speed limits at or near the 85th percentile speed, which is defined as the speed at or below which 85 percent of traffic is moving during freeflow conditions. Speed limits may, however, be established below the 85th percentile speed (within specified thresholds) if conditions are met for criteria 2) through 5) above. 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, and are not dependent on the judgment of one or a few individuals.
State Assembly Bills (AB) 43 and 1938, which went into effect on January 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023, respectively, provide local agencies greater flexibility in setting and reducing speed limits.
For example, local agencies may establish a speed limit of 20 mph or 25 mph if criteria is met for defining a “business activity district”. The legislation required updates to the CVC and CA-MUTCD, the last of which was made available to the public in March 2023.
E&TS must be completed and certified by a registered professional Civil or Traffic Engineer at least once every 5, 7 or 14 years, in compliance with CVC Section 40802, to re-evaluate nonstatuary speed limits on local roadways and allow for enforcement using radar, laser or other electronic devices. The previous Citywide E&TS for National City were completed in 2017.
Recommended speed limits were subsequently adopted by City Council via ordinance in December 2017 and physically posted on the roadways by City Public Works crews shortly thereafter. Since over five years have passed, the National City Engineering & Public Works Department authorized STC Traffic (through an “On-Call” Professional Engineering Services contract) to conduct new E&TS for all Arterial and Collector roadways identified in the National City General Plan Circulation Element.
STC Traffic completed the E&TS for 106 individual roadway segments in accordance with the procedures established by Section 2B.13 of the CA-MUTCD and consistent with all applicable provisions of the CVC. Exhibit A includes figures highlighting the location of the study roadway segments, existing speed limits, changes to speed limits, and recommended speed limits. STC Traffic supported City staff with formal presentations to the Traffic Safety Committee on April 12, 2023 (preliminary findings) and August 16, 2023 (final recommendations). All members of the Traffic Safety Committee were present and voted unanimously in support of the recommendations of the E&TS at their meeting on August 16, 2023. The E&TS summary and recommendations is attached as Exhibit B. STC Traffic applied many of the provisions from AB 43 and AB 1938 to maintain or reduce speed limits, where applicable, including establishment of lower speed limits within a business activity district. If adopted by City Council, 81 speed limits will remain the same, 25 will decrease, and zero of the existing speed limits will increase. A copy of the full E&TS report and certification summary sheets are available in the Office of the City Engineer.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Funding to purchase and install speed limit signs is available through the Public Works Streets Division M&O budget for traffic signs.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY,
CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING SPEED LIMITS ON VARIOUS STREETS BASED ON
ENGINERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEYS AND AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF
PUBLIC WORKS TO POST SPEED LIMIT SIGNS CONSISTENT WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEYS.
WHEREAS, section 22357 of the State of California Vehicle Code (CVC) permits local authorities to establish speed limits greater than the prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour (mph) when, on the basis of an engineering and traffic survey (E&TS), the local authority determines that a speed greater than 25 mph would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe; and WHEREAS, State Assembly Bills (AB) 43 and 1938, which went into effect on January 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023, respectively, provide local agencies greater flexibility in setting and reducing speed limits; and
WHEREAS, section 627 of the CVC and Section 2B.13 of the California Department of Transportation Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD) outline the criteria to be considered as part of conducting an E&TS, including that an E&TS be completed and certified by a registered professional Civil or Traffic Engineer at least once every 5, 7 or 14 years, in compliance with CVC Section 40802, to re-evaluate non-statuary speed limits on local roadways and allow for enforcement using radar, laser or other electronic devices; and
WHEREAS, an E&TS for 106 individual roadway segments was completed in accordance with the procedures established by Section 2B.13 of the CA-MUTCD and consistent with all applicable provisions of the CVC, and formal presentations were made to the Traffic Safety Committee on April 12, 2023 (preliminary findings) and August 16, 2023 (final recommendations), where the Traffic Safety Committee ultimately voted unanimously in support of the recommendations of the E&TS at their meeting on August 16, 2023; and
WHEREAS, based on the findings and recommendations of the E&TS, 81 speed limits will remain the same, 25 will decrease, and zero of the existing speed limits will increase; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends the City Council authorize establishing speed limits on various streets based on the E&TS and authorize the Director of Public Works to post speed limit signs consistent with the recommendations of the E&TS.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
