Each segment is discussed below. Segment 64 – Ave 50: Washington to Park This segment is currently posted at 50 mph and has two through lanes in each direction with an ADT of 7,000 vehicles per day. The adjacent land is vacant (future residential) on both sides just east of Washington. The remaining portion of this segment is residential on the south side and two schools along the north side of this .60-mile-long segment. The 85th percentile speed is 50 mph and would normally justify a 50-mph posted speed limit. This segment is identified as a land or facility that generates high concentrations of bicycles and pedestrians. The segment has bike lane presence along the south side of the corridor. The segment immediately west of Washington is currently 40 mph and because this segment is established as a land or facility that generates high concentrations of bicycles and pedestrians, an additional 10 mph reduction is recommended to be applied. Because this will maintain uniformity among adjacent segments, it is recommended to match that. It is recommended that the speed limit be posted at 40 mph for the above reasons. This recommendation falls within the limitations requiring the recommendation be no more than 12.4 mph under the 85th percentile speed. Segment 65 – Ave 50: Park to Jefferson This segment is currently posted at 50 mph and has two through lanes in each direction with an ADT of 7,000 vehicles per day. The adjacent land is residential on both of this 0.88-mile-long segment. The 85th percentile speed is 50 mph and would normally justify a 50-mph posted speed limit. However, there are 2 schools immediately adjacent to this portion of Avenue 50. The segment has bike lane presence along both sides of the corridor. The segment immediately west is to be 40 mph and the segment to the east is to be 45 mph. Because this will maintain uniformity among adjacent segments, it is recommended that the speed limit be posted at 45 mph for the above reasons. Segment 66 – Ave 50: Jefferson to Madison This segment is currently posted at 50 mph in the eastbound direction and the westbound direction is posted at 45 mph (within the City of Indio). It has two through lanes in the eastbound direction and one through lane in the westbound direction, with an ADT of 7,000 vehicles per day. The adjacent land is residential on both sides of this 1-mile-long segment, with the exception of some commercial on the north side just east of Jefferson. The 85th percentile speed is 51 mph and would normally justify a 50-mph posted speed limit. This segment is adjacent to a facility that generates high concentrations of 2026 Engineering and Traffic Survey Amendment City of La Quinta Page 5 pedestrians during special events (well over 100,000 in attendance) which are in the street due to lack of sidewalks. The segment immediately west of Jefferson is to be 45 mph and this segment already is 45 mph in the westbound direction and an additional 5 mph reduction is recommended to be applied. This will maintain uniformity among adjacent segments with the recommended speed limit being posted at 45 mph for the above reasons. Segment 67 – Avenue 52: Desert Club to Washington This segment is currently posted at 50 mph and has two through lanes in each direction with an ADT of 15,000 vehicles per day. The adjacent land is residential on both sides along the 0.37-mile-long segment. The 85th percentile speed is 47 mph and would normally justify a 45-mph posted speed limit. This segment in the westbound direction has a horizontal 45-mph curve speed just prior to entering a 25-mph zone immediately west of Desert Club, and then a 20-mph design speed upon entering the roundabout at Avenida Bermudas. There is also a very active fire station on the corner of Desert Club and Avenue 52. With the high concentration of bicycles and pedestrians (the segment has bike lane presence along the entire corridor), a 5 mph reduction can be applied. It is recommended to better maintain uniformity among segments that the speed limit be posted at 40 mph for the above reasons. This recommendation falls within the limitations requiring the recommendation be no more than 12.4 mph under the 85th percentile speed.
