Listen "AB 43 - 85th percentile, rounding, and speed reductions"

Episode Synopsis

California Assembly Bill 43 modifies speed limit regulations.  
It allows local authorities to round the 85th percentile speed up or down to the nearest 5 mph when setting speed limits. 
It permits speed limit reductions of 5 mph on high-injury roads or roads near areas with high pedestrian/cyclist concentrations, following an Engineering and Traffic Survey (ETS). 
It allows retention or restoration of prior speed limits if an ETS suggests a higher limit but a registered engineer confirms no new road lanes have been added since the previous limit was set.
