CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Ordinance amending Chapter 10.52 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code to change the
existing speed limit on Mountain View Avenue between 40th Street and Hill Drive/Pinehurst
Court from Forty (40) to Thirty-five (35) M.P.H.
Background:
The Engineering Division received a request from a citizen to establish a twenty-five (25) m.p.h.
speed limit on Mt. View Avenue north of 40th Street. The requestor felt that this action would
improve overall safety in this section ofMt. View Avenue.
Traffic Engineering Staff conducted a traffic engineering speed survey, which formed the basis
ofthe evaluation.
Mt. View Avenue is classified as a Collector from south of 40th Street north to Hill
DrivelPinehurst Court. North of this area it is classified as a Local Residential street. With the
exception of a driveway that accesses the Albertson's shopping center on the northeast corner of
40th Street and Mt. View Avenue, this area is entirely residential. Mt. View Avenue is forty (40)
feet wide. 4,200 vehicles were counted over a 24-hour period just north of 40th Street and 2,800
vehicles were counted just north of Pershing Avenue. There have been three recorded accidents
within this area from January I, 1999 through March 31, 2001 (2 y" years). One accident
occurred just north of 43'd Street where a northbound motorist hit a fixed object. The second
occurred 164 feet south of 49th Street where a speeding motorist hit a fixed object. The third
took place at 48th Street when an eastbound vehicle broadsided a southbound vehicle.
Currently all ofMt. View Avenue has an adopted forty (40) m.p.h. speed limit. The speed limit
extends to Lupin Lane (north of Hill Drive/Pinehurst Court). Speed surveys were recently
completed as part of the State mandated S-year cycle. Two survey locations were taken north of
40th Street. The results of the surveys are as follows:
Location of Survey Critical Speed/Pace Speed
At 43'd Street
46.5 m.p.h.
34-43 m.p.h.
At 50th Street
46.1 m.p.h.
37-46 m.p.h.
Average
46.3 m.p.h.
The critical speeds surveyed suggest that a 45 m.p.h. speed limit is appropriate for this area,
however, staff feels that due to the residential nature of the road it would be excessive. On the
other hand, posting a 25 m.p.h. speed zone would place one hundred (100) percent of the
motorists surveyed in violation of the requested speed limit. As a result, the Police Department
may not be able to adequately enforce the speed zone. Additionally, this action may increase
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT-Continued
the disparity between low and high vehicle speeds which would encourage unsafe vehicle
movements. Consequently, staffrecommends that the speed limit be lowered from forty (40) to
thirty-five (35) m.p.h. Staff further recommends that the speed limit be eliminated in its entirety
north of HillsidelPinehurst Court. After this point, Mt. View Avenue becomes a local residential
street serving as access only to adjacent residents. At this point, the local residential speed limit
of25 m.p.h. would apply.
The Traffic Safety Committee evaluated this issue at their September 5, 2001 meeting. The
Committee concurred with the findings and recommendations of staff and therefore
recommended that the speed limit on Mt. View Avenue between 40th Street and Hill
DriveIPinehurst Court be lowered from forty (40) m.p.h. to thirty-five (35) m.p.h. and that the
forty (40) m.p.h. speed limit on Mt. View Avenue north of Hill DrivelPinehurst Court be
eliminated making this area a 25 m.p.h. residential zone.
Financial Impact:
The estimated cost of $400 for the installation of the speed limit signs will come from General
Fund Account No. 001-187-5111 (signing and striping materials). This action is considered
routine and there will be no major impact to the account.
Recommendation:
That said Ordinance be laid over for final adoption.
