PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAF REPOR
Agenda Item #9.F
Meetin Date: u ust 18, 2026
TITLE:

Designation of Price Canyon Road as a Safety Corridor
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution designating Price Canyon Road as a Safety Corridor per California Vehicle Code §22358.7 and adopting a speed limit of 35 miles per hour from the US Highway 101 Bridge to 600 feet north of Solar Way and a speed limit of 40 miles per hour from 600 feet north of Solar Way to the City limit.

DISCUSSION:

Price Canyon Road is a critical regional link connecting Pismo Beach and San Luis Obispo, providing access to agriculture, the regional airport, oil production facilities, manufacturing businesses, and residential areas between the two cities. The roadway also carries substantial regional commuter traffic, serving as the connection between Highway 227 and Highway 101. Price Canyon Road is a two-lane arterial roadway with a posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour (mph) between the US Highway 101 Bridge and the City limits located approximately 1,045 feet east of Lemoore Street.

Due to the significant regional traffic volume on this roadway and the extensive westbound queueing that results during peak hours, staff contracted with Central Coast Transportation Consulting to conduct traffic counts on Price Canyon Road and evaluate potential updates to speed limits and traffic signage to increase safety and reduce the likelihood of rear-end collisions. This effort updates the City’s existing Engineering and Traffic Survey for this roadway segment, which was prepared in 2020. The California Vehicle Code (CVC) requires that Engineering and Traffic Surveys be updated every 7– 14 years to maintain enforceability of speed limits.

Since the completion of the 2020 survey, amendments to the CVC have authorized additional reductions in speed limits when a roadway is designated as a “Safety Corridor” pursuant to CVC §22358.7. A Safety Corridor is defined as a roadway segment within a jurisdiction that experiences the highest number of serious injury and fatal traffic collisions and may not exceed one-fifth of the overall roadway network.

The consultant reviewed available collision data and determined that Price Canyon Road meets the criteria for designation as a Safety Corridor. Based on its analysis, the consultant recommends designating Price Canyon Road as a Safety Corridor per CVC §22358.7 and establishing the following speed limits:
Price Canyon Road (US 101 Bridge to 600 feet north of Solar Way) – 35 mph Price Canyon Road (600 feet north of Solar Way to City Limit) – 40 mph Council Agenda 8-18-2026 9.F-1

In addition, the consultant recommends replacing existing non-reflective traffic signs and installing a “Watch for Stopped Traffic” warning sign as identified in the signage plan included with its memorandum of recommendations (Attachment 2).

While this evaluation focused specifically on Price Canyon Road, the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 budget includes funding for a comprehensive citywide traffic study that will update and evaluate traffic conditions throughout the City. The recommendations contained in the consultant memorandum are intended to address current safety concerns on Price Canyon Road and may be supplemented by future recommendations resulting from the citywide study.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) designating Price Canyon Road as a Safety Corridor per CVC §22358.7 and adopting a speed limit of 35 mph from the US Highway 101 Bridge to 600 feet north of Solar Way and a speed limit of 40 mph from 600 north of Solar Way to the City limit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of adopting the attached resolution is approximately $1,200 to fabricate and replace the recommended signage. There is sufficient budget in the Public Works Facilities Division Streets Operating Supply and Maintenance account in FY 2027 to support this cost.

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 17, 2026
To: Ryan Provost, City Of Pismo Beach Public Works Department From: Michelle Matson and Joe Fernandez, CCTC
Subject: Price Canyon Road, Pismo Beach – Sign Recommendations This memorandum summarizes the recommended signage on Price Canyon Road within the City of Pismo Beach. We recommend reducing the speed limit, installing additional warning signage, and replacing old signs as shown on the attached sign plan. The following sections summarize the existing conditions and speed limit and sign recommendations.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
Price Canyon Road is a two-lane arterial with a posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour. The road is within the City of Pismo Beach between the US Highway 101 Bridge and 1,045 feet east of Lemoore Street. A seven day vehicle volume count was conducted on Price Canyon Road between Dell Court and Lemoore Street in May 2026. The average daily traffic (ADT) was 7,200 vehicles per day. The count is attached.

SPEED LIMIT AND SIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
The California Vehicle Code (CVC) requires that Engineering and Traffic Surveys (E&TS) be updated every seven to 14 years to maintain enforceability of speed limits by the local Police Department. The current E&TS for Price Canyon Road was prepared in October 2020. Since that time there has been changes to the CVC allowing for additional reductions in determining the speed limit if the roadway has been designated as a “Safety Corridor” per CVC 22358.7. Per the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), a safety corridor shall be defined as a roadway segment within an overall roadway network where the highest number of serious injury and fatality crashes occur and shall not exceed one-fifth of the overall roadway network.

Collision data was obtained from the California Crash Reporting System (CCRS) and City Police for the most recent three years (December 2022 to November 2025). Six automobile right-of-way violation collisions were reported on Price Canyon Road including five non-injury collisions near the Bello Street intersection and one severe injury collision occurred just east of the Lemoore Street intersection. Citywide, four severe injury and one fatal collision were reported as summarized in Table 1.

2Price Canyon Road, Pismo Beach – Sign Recommendations
Central Coast Transportation Consulting June 17, 2026

Table 1: City of Pismo Beach Severe Injury and Fatal Collisions

The roadways where severe injury and fatal collisions are occurring represent less than one fifth of city roadways. We recommend designating Price Canyon Road and the other roadways listed in the table above as safety corridors per CVC 22358.7.

We recommend the following speed limits as documented in the attached E&TS:
xPrice Canyon Road (US 101 Bridge to 600 feet north of Solar Way): 35 miles per hour. xPrice Canyon Road (600 feet north of Solar Way to City Limit): 40 miles per hour.

We also recommend replacement of older non-reflective signage and the installation of a WATCH FOR STOPPED TRAFFIC sign. The recommendations are shown in the attached sign plan.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
