City of Lake Elsinore Speed Survey
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
This Engineering and Traffic Survey is intended to serve as the basis for the establishment and
enforcement of speed limits for selected streets within the City of Lake Elsinore. This survey
was authorized by the City and independently conducted by private consulting firm Albert A.
Webb Associates.
Engineering and traffic surveys for speed limits should be conducted once every five (5), seven
(7), or ten (10) years to comply with California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 40802.
■ Regulations and Guidelines
CVC Division 11, Chapter 7 defines the California Speed Laws. CVC Section 22352 indicates
that prima facie speed limits of 15 miles per hour(mph) at unprotected railroad grade crossings,
uncontrolled highway intersections with sight restrictions, and on any alley. In addition, the
prima facie speed limit is 25 mph in residence and business districts, when approaching or
passing a school building or grounds thereof, or when passing a senior center or other facility
primarily used by senior citizens. CVC Division 1 defines a business district and residence
district in Sections 235 and 515, respectively:
A "business district'is that portion of a highway and the property contiguous
thereto (a) upon one side of which highway, for a distance of 600 feet, 50 percent
or more of the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by buildings in
use for business, or(b) upon both sides of which highway, collectively, for a
distance of 300 feet, 50 percent or more of the contiguous property fronting
thereon is so occupied. A business district may be longer than the distances
specified in this section if the above ratio of buildings in use for business to the
length of the highway exists.'
A "residence district'is that portion of a highway and the property contiguous
thereto, other than a business district, (a) upon one side of which highway, within
a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is
occupied by 13 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures, or(b)
upon both sides of which highway, collectively, within a distance of a quarter of a
mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 16 or more
separate dwelling houses or business structures. A residence district may be
longer than one-quarter of a mile if the above ratio of separate dwelling houses
or business structures to the length of the highway exists.2

A S S O C I A T E S
City of Lake Elsinore Speed Survey
Section 22357(a) permits the establishment of speed limits greater than 25 mph as follows:
Whenever a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and
traffic survey that a speed greater than 25 miles per hour would facilitate the
orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe upon
any street other than a state highway otherwise subject to a prima facie limit of
25 miles per hour, the local authority may by ordinance determine and declare a
prima facie speed limit of 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60 miles per hour or a
maximum speed limit of 65 miles per hour, whichever is found most appropriate
to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe.3
Therefore, the CVC allows local authorities to increase the prima facie limits by ordinance or
resolution to appropriate limits as determined by an engineering and traffic survey. Posted
speed limits not defined in the CVC or established by ordinance are not valid. The CVC requires
that speed surveys must be performed with the use of radar or other electronic devices at
locations where speed limits are to be enforced with the use of radar. The current survey must
be completed within five years as specified in Section 40802(a), seven years as specified in
Section 40802(c), or ten years as specified in Section 40802(c), of the date of the preceding
survey. A survey allowed to expire passed the valid duration of the previous survey would
constitute a speed trap as defined in Sections 40802 of the CVC:
(a) A "speed trap"is either of the following:
(1) A particular section of a highway measured as to distance and with
boundaries marked, designated, or otherwise determined in order that the speed
of a vehicle may be calculated by securing the time it takes the vehicle to travel
the known distance.
(2) A particular section of a highway with a prima facie speed limit that is
provided by this code or by local ordinance under subparagraph (A) of paragraph
(2) of subdivision (a) of Section 22352, or established under Section 22354,
22357, 22358, or 22358.3, if that prima facie speed limit is not justified by an
engineering and traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of the
alleged violation, and enforcement of the speed limit involves the use of radar or
any other electronic device that measures the speed of moving objects. This
paragraph does not apply to a local street, road, or school zone.
(b) (1) For purposes of this section, a local street or road is one that is
functionally classified as "local'on the "California Road System Maps,"that are
approved by the Federal Highway Administration and maintained by the
Department of Transportation. When a street or road does not appear on the
"California Road System Maps,"it may be defined as a "local street or road"if it

primarily provides access to abutting residential property and meets the following
three conditions:
(A) Roadway width of not more than 40 feet.
(8) Not more than one-half of a mile of uninterrupted length. Interruptions
shall include official traffic control signals as defined in Section 445.
(C) Not more than one traffic lane in each direction.
(2) For purposes of this section, `school zone'means that area approaching
or passing a school building or the grounds thereof that is contiguous to a
highway and on which is posted a standard `SCHOOL'warning sign, while
children are going to or leaving the school either during school hours or during
the noon recess period. `School zone'also includes the area approaching or
passing any school grounds that are not separated from the highway by a fence,
gate, or other physical barrier while the grounds are in use by children if that
highway is posted with a standard `SCHOOL'warning sign.4
■ Requirements and Methodology of an Engineering and Traffic
Study
Speed zones are primarily established to protect the public from the unreasonable behavior of
reckless, unreliable, or otherwise dangerous drivers. Speed limits are typically set near the 85th-
percentile speed; statistically, this represents one standard deviation above the average speed.
The 85th-percentile speed is defined as the speed at or below which 85 percent of traffic is
moving. Speed limits established on this basis conform to the majority of motorists as to what is
reasonable and prudent and are not dependent on the judgment of one or a few individuals.
The Engineering and Traffic Survey, as defined in CVC Section 627, must consider the
prevailing speeds, accident records, and highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily
apparent to the driver. Local authorities may also consider residential density and pedestrian
and bicycle safety. Speed zones are also established to advise motorists of road conditions or
hazards which may not be readily apparent to a reasonable driver. For this reason, a field
review of related road/traffic variables is conducted in combination with the statistical speed
data and collision history of a particular roadway segment to determine a safe and reasonable
speed limit. The specific procedures used in the performance of an Engineering and Traffic
Study are outlined in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2014 Edition (CA
MUTCD). The statistical factors used to analyze the collected speed survey data and additional
factors as noted in the CA MUTCD to consider are defined in the following section.

City of Lake Elsinore Speed Survey
■ Field Review
Speed data was collected using calibrated radar speed guns and pneumatic tubes and were
performed by Counts Unlimited, a sub-consultant to Albert A. Webb Associates. Each of the
radar speed surveys were made from an inconspicuously parked, unmarked vehicle. An effort
was made to ensure that the presence of the vehicle in no way affected the speed of the traffic
being surveyed. The pneumatic tubes were located as far away from residential driveways as
possible to avoid driveway traffic speeds. Field information from these speed surveys and other
roadway characteristics were recorded on field data forms and later coded into engineering
software for analysis purposes. CA MUTCD Section 213.13 indicates that in order for the sample
to be representative of the actual traffic flow, it is desirable to have a minimum sample of 100
vehicles for a speed zone survey, but in no case should the sample contain less than 50
vehicles. In addition to speed data, average daily traffic (ADT) volumes were collected from the
survey using pneumatic tubes.
Examples of the field data collected for the purposes of analyzing related roadway
characteristics as they pertain to the determination of appropriate speed limits are listed below.
The results of the field review for related roadway and traffic variables are summarized in the
next section of this report.
1. Segment length, width and alignment;
2. Level of pedestrian and bicycle activity, truck volume;
3. Traffic flow characteristics;
4. Number of lanes and other channelization/striping factors;
5. Frequency of intersections, driveways, on-street parking, bike lanes;
6. Locations of stop signs, traffic signals, and other regulatory traffic control devices;
7. Roadway condition, bumps and dips;
8. Obstructions to driver/pedestrian visibility;
9. Land use and proximity of schools, parks/recreation areas and senior centers;
10. Uniformity with existing speed zones in adjacent jurisdictions; and
11. Any other unusual conditions or hazards not readily apparent to the driver.
■ Statistical Analysis Factors
Significant factors used to analyze the collected survey data are summarized below:
A L 8 E R T A.
2-4
A S S O C I A T E S
City of Lake Elsinore Speed Survey
• 85th-Percentile Speed. The critical speed, or the 85th-percentile speed, is defined as
that speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is moving. This factor is the primary
guide in determining what speed the majority of drivers find safe and reasonable.
Therefore, the practice is to set the speed limit to the nearest 5 mph increment from the
85th-percentile speed unless other factors require a lower limit. Speed limits set on this
basis provide law enforcement officials with a means of controlling reckless or unreliable
drivers who will not conform to what the majority finds reasonable.
• 10-mph Pace. The 10-mph pace is the 10-mph increment range which contains the
largest number of recorded vehicles. This factor is a measure of the dispersion of
speeds within the sample surveyed. Speed limits should normally be set to fall within the
10-mph pace, however, conditions not readily apparent to the driver or adhering to state
mandated limits such as in residence districts may require setting speed limits below the
10-mph pace.
• 50th-Percentile Speed. The median speed, or 50th-percentile speed, represents the
mid-point value within the range of recorded speeds for a particular roadway location. In
other words, 50 percent of the vehicles travel faster than, and 50 percent travel slower
than, the median speed. This value is another measure of the central tendency of the
vehicle speed distribution. Typically speed limits should not be set below the 50th-
percentile speed, since it would result in greater than 50-percent of the drivers
exceeding the speed limit.
• 15th-Percentile Speed. The 15th-percentile speed is that speed at or below which 15
percent of the vehicles are traveling. This value is important in determining the minimum
allowable speed limit, given that the vehicles traveling below this speed tend to obstruct
the flow of traffic, thereby increasing the collision potential.
• Percent of Vehicles in Pace Speed. The percent of vehicles in the 10-mph pace speed
is an indication of the grouping of vehicular speeds. Ideally, if all vehicles were traveling
at or about the same speed, there would be a reduced likelihood of vehicular collisions.
In speed limit analysis, the higher the percent of vehicles within the pace speed, the
more favorable the speed distribution. The percent of the 10-mph pace is often between
60 and 90 percent.
■ 2014 CA MUTCD Standard
The 2014 CA MUTCD Section 213.13 sets the standard for establishing posted speed limits:
Standard:
When a speed limit is to be posted, it shall be established at the nearest 5 mph
increment of the 85th-percentile speed of free-flowing traffic, except as shown in
the two Options below.
Option:
A L B E R T A.
2-5
A S S O C I A T E S
City of Lake Elsinore Speed Survey
1. The posted speed may be reduced by 5 mph from the nearest 5 mph
increment of the 85th-percentile speed, in compliance with CVC Sections
627 and 22358.5. See Standard below for documentation requirements.
2. For cases in which the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th-percentile
speed would require a rounding up, then the speed limit may be rounded
down to the nearest 5 mph increment below the 85th-percentile speed, if
no further reduction is used. Refer to CVC Section 21400(b).5
If the speed limit to be posted has had the 5 mph reduction applied, then an
E&TS shall document in writing the conditions and justification for the lower
speed limit shall be in compliance with CVC Sections 627 and 22358.5.
■ Collision History
The Engineering and Traffic Survey forms summarize the available collision information for each
of the street segments. The collision information was gathered from the California Statewide
Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) between January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020.
Based on the number of total collisions per segment studied over the 2-year period and ADT
volumes, a collision rate per million vehicle miles was calculated for the segment. To provide a
general comparison of the collision rates on the segment to expected collision rates for similar
types of local roadways, the collision rate for the segment was compared to the statewide
average rate listed in the 2018 Collision Data on California State Highways (road miles, travel,
collisions, collision rates)6 as listed in Table 2-2. The calculated collision rates for each study
segment are shown on Table 2-3. Only the segments that experienced collisions due to unsafe
speeds in the studied timeframe are shown in the table.
