Beaumont Road near Whittier Street

Loma Linda, California•Mar 26, 2007•1 Comments

County sheriff parks opposite to Whittier drive (sometimes behind a city truck) and shoots radar up and down beaumont road to catch employees of the local medical center on their way to and from work. Beaumont road is recently repaved and is wide enough for four lanes and is dead straight for part of the way. The city recently lowered the speed limit to 35 down from 45 which had been the posted limit for years. Loma Linda is one of the few cities in the inland empire with photo cameras at the intersections. They are quickly getting the reputation of traffic enforcement to pay the bills.

The comment is obviously a resident from Redlands or Moreno Valley who, instead of using Barton Road to commute to work at the medical center decides to go through a solely residential area on a road frequented by many walkers each morning. First...the speed limit has been 35 miles per hour for many, many years and was established by using a radar speed zone survey as required by California if radar is used for speed enforcement. Second...a quarter mile section of road was originally designed to be a four lane street; however the remaining 1 1/2 miles are still two lanes. Regardless, even if it were striped for four lanes the speed limit would remain at 35 miles per hour unless it were changed by a resolution of the City Council. Third...I agree that photo enforcement sucks; however the good news is that the council has voted to remove all four intersection cameras when the contract expires the end of 2010. Fourth...leave for work 30 seconds earlier and drive the speed limit on Beaumont Avenue.
