EX: 37 mph is 85th percentile and establishes speed at 35 mph, but speed limit can further be reduced to 30 mph if conditions justify additional reduction and are approved by an engineer. OPTION TWO: •If 85th percentile requires rounding up, then the speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5 mph increment below the 85th percentile speed if no further reduction is used. Requires an Engineering and Traffic Study to justify. EX: 33 mph is 85th percentile and establishes speed at 35 mph, but speed limit can further be further by 5 mph to 30 mph if additional reduction is documented in an Engineering and Traffic Study (E&TS) and approved by an Engineer. OPTION THREE: •CVC 21400 allows for setting the speed limit at the 5 mph increment below the 85th percentile even if rounding would require the speed to be posted above the 85th percentile.
