CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Authorization to establish a 40 m.p.h. Speed Limit on "E" Street between Hunts Lane and
Century Avenue.
Background:
The Traffic Engineering Section of the Development Services Department has received several
complaints/concerns relative to the lack of a speed limit on "E" Street between Hunts Lane and
Century Avenue. Since there is no established speed zone within this section of "E" Street, the
maximum speed limit is sixty-five (65) m.p.h. Staff concurs with the concerns raised and feels that
this speed limit is too high for this area. Consequently, a study was initiated to establish a speed
zone. The adjacent segment to the north has already been established a 40 m.p.h. speed zone.
The following are the results of the evaluation:
"E" Street is classified as a Major Arterial in the City's General Plan. There is approximately one
mile in length between Hunts Lane and Century Avenue. The width of the street generally varies
from seventy (70) to seventy-three (73) feet. Approximately 10,300 vehicles travel through this
section of "E" Street on a 24-hour period.
Three speed surveys were conducted within this area. The following are the results of the surveys:
Location of Survey Critical Speed Pace Speed Average Speed
200' w/o Hunts Lane. 41 m.p.h. 32-41 m.p.h. 36 m.p.h.
100' s/o Fairway Drive 42 m.p.h. 30-39 m.p.h. 35 m.p.h.
200' nlo Fairway Drive 50 m.p.h. 39-48 m.p.h. 44 m.p.h.
Averages 44 m.p.h. 38 m.p.h.
*
NOTE: Critical speed is the speed at or below of which 85 percent of the traffic is moving.
Based on the State Traffic Manual, it is one of the most important components in determining an
appropriate speed limit for a particular section of a road. Pace speed is the ten-mile increment of
speed containing the largest number of vehicles in a survey.
Based on the above data, staff recommends that a 40 m.p.h. speed limit be established on "E" Street
between Hunts Lane and Century Avenue. The recommended speed limit is consistent with the
average of the critical speeds (44 m.p.h.). Additionally, the proposed speed limit is consistent with
the existing 40 m.p.h. speed limit on "E" Street north of Century Avenue.
Financial Impact:
The estimated cost of $ 800.00 for installing the new speed limit signs will come from Account No.
001-187-5111 (Signing and Striping Materials).
Recommendation:
That said Ordinance be laid over for final adoption.

The foregoing data was collected according to the methodology for Engineering and
Traffic Surveys prescribed in Section 8-03.3 (B) (2) (c) of the Traffic Manual of the
Department of Transportation of the State of California. Measurements were made
by means of a radar device under conditions designed to determine the actual speed
of unimpeded traffic. Such conditions included, without limitation, the absence of
concentrated law enforcement or other activity just prior to or while taking the speed
measurements that might alter the speed of traffic; the selection of location(s) is/are
representative of the entire speed zone; the absence of inclement or unusual weather
conditions; and the inconspicuous placement of the surveyor and his/her equipment
to enable traffic to be accurately surveyed in both directions.
