	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1669, Wagner. 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.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 22353.5 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:
   22353.5.  When conducting an engineering and traffic survey of the
public streets within the boundaries of the common interest
development known as Orange Park Acres, in addition to the factors
set forth in Section 627, the County of Orange may also consider
equestrian safety.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that, because of the
unique circumstances applicable only to the common interest
development known as Orange Park Acres and the equestrian trails
there, a special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be
made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the
California Constitution.
