RECOMMENDATION(S):

RESCIND Traffic Resolution 1986/3156, and ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2020/4498 to establish speed limits on Camino Tassajara (Road No. 4721C), as recommended by the Public Works Director, Danville/San Ramon area. (No fiscal impact)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Camino Tassajara (Road No. 4721C) is classified as a major arterial roadway by the Federal Highway Administration. Such a classification requires that the speed limit(s) be set according to provisions of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) and California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22358, if the speed limit is to be set lower than the prima facie speed limit of 55 mph. This requires an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) be performed in order to establish the appropriate speed limit. The E&TS was conducted according to established traffic engineering standards covering several sections of Camino Tassajara.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This action will allow local law enforcement agencies to enforce the speed limits on Camino Tassajara.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Law enforcement authorities would be unable to enforce speed limits on the roadway.
