Red Phone: 35 mph sign doesn’t fit
“The posted speed limit on Santa Teresa Boulevard between Fitzgerald Avenue and Day Road West is 50 mph. At 10215 Santa Teresa Blvd., there is a sign saying “35 MPH SPEED ZONE AHEAD.” However, there is no sign saying 35 mph at all farther down the road. The next speed limit sign is in front of Christopher High School saying 45 mph. Why have such a sign at 10215? Perhaps the sign should have said “45 MPH SPEED ZONE AHEAD,” or the sign is left over from the roadway configuration that existed before the high school was built and traffic lights added.”
