AB 1669, as introduced, Wagner. Speed limits: Unincorporated City of Orange Park Acres: equestrian trials.
Existing law prohibits any person from driving a vehicle at a speed greater than the speed limit. Existing law generally sets forth prima facie speed limits unless changed or otherwise authorized by law. Existing law permits local authorities to set prima facie speed limits on the basis of an engineering and traffic survey, as defined, if the different speed limit is necessary to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe. Existing law authorizes the City of Norco, when conducting an engineering and traffic survey, to consider equestrian safety in addition to the specified factors set forth.
This bill would authorize the County of Orange, when conducting an engineering and traffic survey within the unincorporated City of Orange Park Acres, to consider equestrian safety, in addition to the specified factors set forth. The bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the unincorporated City of Orange Park Acres.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
Section 22353.5 is added to the Vehicle Code,
2to read:
When conducting an engineering and traffic survey
4within the unincorporated City of Orange Park Acres, in addition
5to the factors set forth in Section 627, the County of Orange may
6also consider equestrian safety.
The Legislature finds and declares that, because of the
8unique circumstances applicable only to the unincorporated City
9of Orange Park Acres and the equestrian trial there, a special law
10is necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable
11within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California
12Constitution.
