RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to the Finance Committee to
consider a request by the California Highway Patrol to employ radar
for speed enforcement on all roads within the unincorporated area
of the County.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Board of Supervisors has
funded a radar enforcement program for the California Highway
Patrol since 1986. According to a recent evaluation of this
program by the Highway Patrol, collisions. on targeted roads have
decreased by approximately 20% and complaints of speeding on target
roads have decreased by approximately 400.
Captain Robert Tindel indicates a need by the CHP for
flexibility to use existing radar units anywhere in the County to
respond to changing complaint patterns, growth, and development.
According to Captain Tindel, this flexibility could be provided at
no additional cost to the County.
