A) Kelly Street Speed Reduction - Robert Tomasek
Council member Trammell raised concerns about the 30 mph speed limit on Kelly Street near the elementary school and suggested reducing it to at least 25 mph. She recommended that staff conduct a speed study and made a motion to formally send the matter to Public Works/Safety Committee for their recommendation, which the council approved unanimously. The MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) requires speed limits to be set based on an engineering study that considers factors like road characteristics, crash data, and traffic volume . The long-standing "85th percentile" method (based on the speed of the majority of drivers) is a common component of these studies but is no longer the sole factor, especially in urban and pedestrian-heavy areas, due to its updated emphasis on a wider range of safety considerations. What the MUTCD manual says about speed studies Engineering study is required: Speed limits must be established following an engineering study, not just based on driver behavior. 85th percentile method: The 85th percentile speed has historically been a key guideline but is now considered only one of several factors in the study, not the sole determinant. Multiple factors to consider: The updated manual emphasizes a more holistic approach, weighing six factors: roadway environment, roadway characteristics, geographic context, crash experience, speed distribution, and speed trends. Examples of other factors: The study should also consider other factors like roadside development, pedestrian activity, and the specific characteristics of the road. Speed as a design element: Speed is a fundamental element in the design and placement of all traffic control devices, including signs, lane markings, and other road features. | attachments=1
