Thanks for reporting!

I followed up with our Traffic Engineer and was given the following information from the traffic study:

"I had a count taken and the 85% speed is 25 mph, which is consistent with the existing speed limit of 25 mph. Per California Vehicle Code Section 22358.3, a speed limit of 15 or 20 mph can only be established on roadways that are 25 feet or less in width.

Mountain View is 27-30 feet wide, so does not qualify for a lower speed limit."

If you have any questions, please call the Traffic Engineer at 707-648-4300.

then please put a speed limit sign on our street to encourage the 15% to slow down

Personally, I would like to see the City make up a few dozen similar signs to this from over off Daniels. It seems like a low tech way to remind folks to slow down. Certainly much less expensive then speed bumps so they could definitely happen faster. I lived on Bayview so I know exactly what you are describing. Those two streets are narrow and full of parked cars. It can be scary walking there as you are often forced out into the center of the street. Keep asking!

thank you for your support

M .egger - I have spoken with the Traffic Engineer. He is putting a request to the Traffic Maintenance section to have speed limit signs and legends (where the speed limit painted in the ground) installed on Mountain View. This will take a few weeks to occur as it has to be scheduled by the Traffic section, but you can follow up with them regarding scheduling by calling their supervisor at 707-648-4518 any time after September 19th.

ELK - the sign in your picture was paid for by the neighbors in the Daniels area, and is not a regulation sign that the City posts.
