Farm Hill <br />Boulevard between Eden Bower Lane and Lonesome Pine Road had the highest 50th percentile <br />speeds – 39.9 mph pre‐pilot in the westbound direction (going uphill towards I‐280) and 41.9 mph in <br />the eastbound direction (going downhill towards downtown). After the pilot, these speeds went down <br />by seven percent and five percent, respectively, but are roughly 5 mph above the posted speed limit of <br />35 mph. Between McGarvey Avenue and Jefferson Avenue, 50th percentile speeds for Post-Pilot are <br />almost five to ten miles per hour below the speed limit – at 30.8 mph going towards I‐280 and 26.9 mph <br />going towards downtown. On Jefferson Avenue, between Highland Avenue and Alameda de las <br />Pulgas, the reductions were 10 percent going towards I‐280 and eight percent going towards downtown, <br />with speeds close to the posted speed limit of 30 mph. <br /> <br />Table 12: 50th Percentile Speed (in miles per hour) <br />Segment <br />Speed <br />Limit <br />(mph) <br />Medium Speed (50th) <br />Towards I-280 Towards Downtown <br />Pre- <br />Pilot <br />Post- <br />Pilot <br />Absolute <br />Change <br />Percent <br />Change <br />Pre- <br />Pilot <br />Post- <br />Pilot <br />Absolute <br />Change <br />Percent <br />Change <br />Farm Hill <br />Boulevard: <br />Eden Bower <br />Ln-Lonesome <br />Pine Rd <br />35 39.9 37.2 -2.7 -7% 41.9 39.8 -2.1 -5% <br />Farm Hill <br />Boulevard: <br />McGarvey <br />Ave-Jefferson <br />Ave <br />35 33.9 30.8 -3.1 -9% 32.2 26.9 -5.3 -17% <br />Jefferson: <br />Highland Ave <br />to Alameda de <br />las Pulgas <br />30 31.3 28.1 -3.2 -10% 31.1 28.5 -2.6 -8% <br />Source: Quality Traffic Data (May 26‐28, 2015 and May 31-June 2, 2016).

After the pilot, the percentage of vehicles traveling <br />over the speed limit in this section decreased by 11 percent in the westbound direction (going uphill <br />towards I‐280) and by three percent in the eastbound direction (going downhill towards downtown). <br /> <br /> <br />8.A. - Page 27
