City Council
Agenda Item Summary
Name: Consideration of a Resolution authorizing the City Council to adopt the updated vehicle speed survey dated February 26th, 2013 as required by California Vehicle Code Section 40802.
Description: Adoption ofthe speed survey satisfies State law requirements pertaining to radar enforcement of posted speed limits. Pursuant to state law, the use of radar for speed enforcement requires traffic engineering surveys be performed every seven years.
Overall Cost:
City Funds: The cost ofthe survey in the amount of$7690.00 was budgeted for FY 2012-13 under Police Department Contractual Service Account 74053.
Staff Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution regarding the implementation of a traffic and engineering survey as required by state law. See Attachment "A"
Important Considerations:
The adoption of the speed survey, as proposed, will permit the Police Department to resume radar enforcement on the functionally classified streets listed in the attached engineering traffic and engineering study. No changes were made to the existing survey in regards to street speed limits as outlined in section 10.12.010 of the Municipal Code regarding vehicle speed limits on certain streets.
Decision Record:
In January 2006, The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea contracted with Traffic Engineer Malcolm Knisely to conduct a speed survey. The speed survey was later adopted by the City Council.
