Changes in state law allow 5 mph reduction, and city plans to pursue it for areas with 30 mph speeds or higher, plus areas near schools

Plans are on track to reduce speed limits on many Encinitas roadways, ranging from major arterials, such as El Camino Real, to residential streets near schools, starting this summer. City traffic engineer Abe Bandegan told the City Council at a meeting Wednesday he’ll likely have a proposed ordinance ready for council approval within the next month. The signage could be up by June and enforcement could start July 1.

The first category is “safety corridor” roads — ones that have a high number of serious injuries and fatalities, based on their collision history. Cities can put up to 20 percent of their roadways into this category. That amounts to about 34 miles of roads in Encinitas, Bandegan said.
