Speed limits for roads like Lewelling are set based on a survey of current speeds to <br />determine the 85th percentile. So if most vehicles are traveling at 40 mph, then the speed <br />limit for that street will likely also be established at something close to 40 mph (give or take <br />5 mph). <br />See 1 more reply <br />Doug Cooper (https://nextdoor.com/profile/439146/)• <br />Washington Manor <br />Many years ago the city hired a firm to evaluate speed limits on city streets to ensure <br />compliance with federal transportation guidlines. A few speed limits were adjusted at that <br />time. Some were increased because road and traffic conditions warranted it. You can't <br />arbitrarily set speed limits lower than street conditions determine. <br />Randy Riggin (https://nextdoor.com/profile/53416890/)• <br />Washington Manor <br />Doug thanks for this information, it's good to know. Personally I don't have an issue <br />with the posted 40mph limit. My strong feelings are about drivers who ignore that in favor of <br />65-80 mph. That's what really has driven me to try to address this with the City. <br />See 1 more reply <br />Deb Hunt (https://nextdoor.com/profile/3610629/)• <br />Washington Manor <br />How about another stoplight somewhere between Farnsworth and Washington or <br />other methods of slowing down traffic? <br />2ReplyEdited 19 JunThank <br />3Reply19 JunThank <br />Reply19 JunThank <br />Reply19 JunThank <br />Search Nextdoor <br />(https://nextdoor.com/inbox/) <br />100 <br />Page 21 of 30LEWELLING BLVD IS OUT OF CONTROL —Nextdoor <br />7/28/2020file:///C:/Users/User/Desktop/Randy/City%20of%20San%20Leandro/LEWELLING%20BLVD%20IS%20OUT%20OF%20CO... <br />84
