A1. Blossom Hill Road – Santa Teresa Boulevard to Snell Avenue (CD 2, 10) This segment of Blossom Hill Rd was established at 40 mph based on two prior surveys completed in February 2016 between Almaden Ex - Playa del Rey and Playa del Rey - Snell Av.
To provide for appropriate speed limits on Blossom Hill Rd, an E&TS for the portion east of Santa Teresa Bl was recently completed to re-establish a radar enforceable speed limit. This segment of Blossom Hill Rd is a 6-lane, divided, major arterial street, approximately 1.55 miles long, with an average daily traffic volume of 27,400 vehicles. Adjacent land use is a mix of front- on, side-on, and back-on single family homes, with some high-density housing near Thornwood Dr. Commercial establishments are near Santa Teresa Bl, Cahalan Av, Chesbro Av, and Snell Av. Blossom Hill Light Rail Station, three churches sharing facilities, and access to SR-85 are near the east end of the segment. Steinbeck and Frost Elementary schools, and Cahalan and Playa del Rey parks are located in proximity to the segment. Bike lanes are present along the entire segment.
The nearest 5 mph increment to the 85
th percentile speed on Blossom Hill Rd is 45 mph. As
permitted by State law, the posted speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5 mph increment of 40 mph. This speed limit is more than would be reasonable or safe. This entire segment of Blossom Hill Rd is within a designated Safety Corridor due to a high incidence of fatalities and serious injuries for the 5-year period between 2019 – 2023. As permitted by CVC 22358.7, an additional 5 mph reduction has been applied. The proposed speed limit of 35 mph is appropriate and reasonable to facilitate an orderly and safe movement of traffic, and to allow for radar enforcement on Blossom Hill Rd.

A9. McLaughlin Avenue – Tully Road to William Street (CD 3, 7) This segment of McLaughlin Av was established at 35 mph based on a prior survey completed in March 2012 for a longer segment, between Capitol Ex - William St. To provide for appropriate speed limits on McLaughlin Av, two separate E&TS were recently completed for the portions north and south of Tully Rd to re-establish radar enforceable speed limits. This segment is primarily a 4-lane, divided, minor arterial street, approximately 2.3 miles long, with an average daily traffic volume of 20,600 vehicles. Adjacent land use is primarily residential, with front-on and side-on single-family homes and high-density housing.

McLaughlin Avenue – Tully Road to William Street
A10. Monterey Road – Bernal Road to Blossom Hill Road (CD 2) This segment of Monterey Rd was established at 55 mph based on a prior survey completed in September 2016 for a longer segment, between Bailey Av - Blossom Hill Rd. To provide appropriate speed limits on Monterey Rd an E&TS was recently completed for this segment to re-establish a radar enforceable speed limit. This segment of Monterey Rd is primarily a 4-lane, divided, major arterial street, with 5 lanes near Blossom Hill Rd, approximately 2.03 miles long, with an average daily traffic volume of 11,900 vehicles. Adjacent land use is primarily commercial with some back-on single family homes. Shared Caltrain and heavy rail tracks are along the entire segment. A pedestrian overcrossing is near Ford Rd. Silver Leaf and Ramac parks are in proximity to the segment. Bike lanes are present along the entire segment. The entire segment is within a designated Safety Corridor due to a high incidence of fatalities and serious injuries for the 5-year period between 2019 – 2023.
The nearest 5 mph increment to the 85
th percentile speed on Monterey Rd is 55 mph. As
permitted by State law, the posted speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5 mph increment of 50 mph. The proposed speed limit of 50 mph is appropriate and reasonable to facilitate an orderly and safe movement of traffic, and to allow for radar enforcement on Monterey Rd. The E&TS data and area map are shown below.

segment.
The nearest 5 mph increment to the 85th percentile speed on Tully Rd is 45 mph. As permitted by State law, the posted speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5 mph increment of 40 mph. This speed limit is more than would be reasonable or safe. This entire segment of Tully Rd is within a designated Safety Corridor due to a high incidence of fatalities and serious injuries for the 5-year period between 2019 – 2023. As permitted by CVC 22358.7, an additional 5 mph reduction has been applied. The proposed speed limit of 35 mph is appropriate and reasonable to facilitate an orderly and safe movement of traffic, and to allow for radar enforcement on Tully Rd. The E&TS data and area map are shown below.

The nearest 5 mph increment to the 85
th percentile speed on White Rd is 35 mph. As permitted by State law, a 5-mph reduction has been applied based on the following factors: injury crash rate (2.05) is nearly 3.5 times higher than the State rate (0.62), 45 (51%) of the crashes resulted in injury (including six serious and three fatalities), 19 of the crashes were speed related of which 10 involved injuries (including two serious), 15 of the crashes involved pedestrians and bicyclists, of which 14 involved injuries (including four serious and two fatalities). There is high pedestrian and bicyclist activity due to proximity to commercial establishments, library, high school, and houses of worship. The proposed speed limit of 30 mph is appropriate and reasonable to facilitate an orderly and safe movement of traffic, and to allow for radar enforcement on White Rd. The E&TS data and area map are shown below.
