STAFF REPORT
The Engineering Division received complaints from area residents to
investigate speeeding problems on 48th Street between Electric Ave-
nue and Kendall Drive, and requesting that a proper speed limit be
established on 48th Street. 48th Street is a 64 foot wide street
accommodating approximately 3,000 average daily traffic. The street
is controlled by non-posted 25 mph prima facie speed limit and can
not be enforced by radar unless an engineering speed survey be
conducted.
The speed surveys conducted by the Engineering staff indicates that
on 48th Street the critical speed (85 percentile) is measured at 44
mph and the pace speed is between 32 and 42 mph. The County of San
Bernardino has establ i shed a 35 mph speed 1 imi t between "H" Street
and Magnolia. In order to maintain consistancy for the driving
public, the Engineering Division recommends to establish a 35 mph
speed zone on 48th Street between Electric Avenue and Kendall Drive.
The study has been reviewed by the Traffic Safety Committee and a
motion subsequently adopted to recommend the authorization of
establishing 35 mph speed limit on 48th Street between Electric
Avenue and Kendall Drive.

presently zoned for 25 mph prima facie speed limit.
Engineering speed surveys indicate that vehicular traffic in this
section of Marshall Blvd. travel s at an average speed of 36 mph.
The critical speed (85 percentile) is measured at 39 mph. The pace
speed, the 10 mph interval contains the highest number of observed
samples, is estimated between 30 and 40 mph. The Engineering
Division recommends that a 35 mph speed zone be established for this
segment of Marshall Blvd.

Subject
David Way Speeding Concerns
~ Nove.ber 3D, 1984
Fih No. 13.1R2 / 6.03
ApprOlled
Dlte
Per your request, the Engineering Division
investigation of the speeding concerns on
of 40th Street.
David Way is a designated residential collector street
servicing a total of 81 ho.es in two residential tracts, of
which 59 ho.es are surrounded by Mariposa Drive and David
Way to the North on the hill side and a cluster of 22 homes
are around Newport Ct. between 41st and 42nd Streets.
David Way can be divided into two seg.ents, the first
segment is a straight roadway with a flat grade of 2.51
fro. 40th Street to approxhately 1600 feet to the North
and the second seg.ent is a curvious roadway .eandering
through the hills at approxi.ately 101 grade.
has completed an
David Way, North
David Way acco.modates an esti.ated traffic volume of 1,000
ADT (average daily traffic), the .ajority of which are
generated by local residents with hardly any through
traffic. The existing l$peed 11.U of 35 .ph was
established at least 10 years ago. The last speed zone
study was conducted in May 1978. The California Vehicle
Code requires that all streets with speed zones other than
25 .ph or 55 .ph pri.a facie speed li.its have to be speed
surveyed by traffic engineers so that the P.D. can use
radar to enforce the speed limit posted. These speed
surveys have to be kept cur.rent wfthfn fhe years. The
statutory StltUS of the exfs~fng speed zone on Davfd Way
was expfred fn May, 1983. whfch .eans the current 35 mph
speed If.it can no longer be legally enforced by the P.O.
The Engineerfng Dfvfsfon conducted a speed survey on Davfd
Way in the vicfnity of 42nd Street in June, 1984, whfch
shows that speeds surveyed ranges from 29 .ph to 52 mph.
The pace speed, the 10 .ph interval contafns the hfghest
number of observed sa.phs, is measured at 34 to 44 .ph.
The crftical speed (85 percentile) is determined at 48 .ph.
The speeding on David Way fs basically caused by the long
tangent section of the street plus the downhill
accelerating effects for Southbound traffic.
Traffic accident history on David Way is not significant,
the records shown only one accident was reported in the
past three years, which was a single car accident due to
excesshe speed.

The IIOSt effective way to control speed is by enforcellent.
The presence of police patrols often is the best safety
device. even if their presence is short Ind tellporary. I
further suggested that the P.O. provide proper educltion to
10cIl residents through neighborhood witch progrllls.
The petition Ilso requests speed bu.ps. As you .IY be
Iware, the use of speed bUllps hive been Iblndoned by 1I0St
California cities due to increasing tort claills and
11abi.liths: The attached inforllltfon provides some
interesting insight with respect to speed bUllps:
My reco..endations to the Dlvid Way speeding problell Ire as
follows:
1 . E S tl b 1"1 s h p r i III fa c fe s peed 1 111 it s 0 f 25 II phi n d
Ibolish existing 35 Mph speed zone.
2. Provide periodic pOlice enforcellent especially
during school hours.
3. Install Idvance warning signs and lIarkings near
the sharp curve It 45th Street.
4. Set up neighborhood watch progralls to increase
public awareness.
This itell is to be discussed at the Trlffic Safety
COIIMUtee Meeting on Wednesday, Dece.ber 5, 1984. I will
report to you their discussion and reco..endation on the

5. David lIay Speedfng Concerns. Mr. . Mrs. Roesch -- By Peter lfu
A petition was received from the residents of David lIay
requesting review of the speed limit and adequate prtrol, on
David lIay. North of 40th St., to correct the by vehicular speed-
ing. David lIay is a residential collector street. The traffic
count on David lIay is less than 1000 per day. Radar speed
survey, of June. 1984. ranges from 29 to 52 .ph with a critical
speed of 48 Ilph. Traffic accident history is insignificant.
Only one accident was reported in the past 2 1/2 years. Stanley
Martin, Sandy Lourenco and Merrily Roesch, residents of David
lIay area, were introduced, and expressed their concerns regard-
ing the speed violators and lack ~f walkways in the area. Dis-
cussion ensued. Peter Liu recommended establishment of prima
facie speed 1fmit of 25 mph, periodic police enforcement,
advance warning signs and markings ne~r the sharp curve at 45th
Street, and neighborhood watch programs.
MOTION:
By Jim Celano that 1) the prima facie speed
limit of 25 mph on David lIay be established;
2) that the speed limit at the curve be set
at 15 or 20 Ilph with advisory warning signs
near the curve: 3) that the Police Department
provide periodic police enforcement on David
lIay, and 4) that a Neighborhood lIatch Program
be set up to increase public awareness to
decrease speeding on David lIay.
