Comment: A speed study on Lower West Branch Road, east of Hummingbird Lane,
indicates that most drivers are traveling above the posted 25 MPH speed limit, and
that a speed limit of 35 MPH would be more appropriate from a point 260 foot east of
Hummingbird Lane, to 150 feet west of Brentwood Drive, and from a point 200 feet
east of Broadmoor Lane to the centerline of Taft Avenue. The Public Works, Police,
Fire, and Neighborhood and Development Services departments concur that the
speed limit could be safely increased to 35 mph. As this section of Lower West
Branch Road is partially located outside of the corporate limits, the Board of
Supervisors is also considering approval of this speed limit change. The design
