Speed limits: Orange Park Acres: equestrian trails.

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 of the public streets within the boundaries of the common interest development known as 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 Orange Park Acres.
