Board approves Traffic Advisory Committee recommendations on speed limits and signage

San Diego County Board of Supervisors · January 15, 2026

Summary

Supervisors unanimously approved Traffic Advisory Committee recommendations, adopting several local speed-limit and signage changes and commending committee staff work.

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to adopt recommendations from the Traffic Advisory Committee, including speed-limit adjustments, signage certifications and enforcement clarifications.

Supervisor Desmond commended the committee's recurring work and staff: "I just wanna give them kudos," he said, noting the committee meets weekly and provides engineering input that informs the county's recommendations.

Public commenters included residents who expressed skepticism about lane reductions and speed changes and a caller who urged careful posting and enforcement of speed-limit signs in specific corridors. Paul DeBold, a caller, cited a measured average speed of 39.55 mph on one segment and suggested some proposed changes were unnecessary.

The motion to adopt the committee's recommendations was moved and seconded and passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. The board asked staff to relay appreciation to the Traffic Advisory Committee and to proceed with implementation of the adopted signage and speed-limit changes.

Next steps: county staff will implement the approved signage and speed-limit changes and ensure changes are posted for enforcement.
