Brentwood Boulevard near Oak Street

Brentwood, CaliforniaNov 05, 20072 Comments

N/B Brentwood Blvd. approaching Oak St. is a two lane highway. About one block prior to Oak St., it becomes a four lane highway. This section is posted at 35 mph. Shortly after it becomes four lanes, the speed limit is reduced to 25 mph. This is two blocks prior to a right curve in the roadway that has large yellow and black warnings to slow to 15 mph while negotiating the curve. A 35 mph speed limit is safe on this four laned two block portion along with the 15 mph warning for the curve. The addition of the 25 mph speed limit to slow traffic prior to the curve is totally unnecessary, and can only be considered as a revenue generator. There are sidewalks on both sides, and a crosswalk at the signalized intersection of Brentwood Blvd. and Oak St. Pedestrian traffic is light to none with no enticements for jaywalking.

There is a High School on the corner of Oak St and Brentwood Blvd. (Liberty Union High School). I believe that qualifies for 25 mph.

Re: Previous comment: Liberty High School is on Second Street & Brentwood Blvd, not Oak. Original post: I feel that the 25mph zone here is justified. In the 10 years I have been in Brentwood there have been many accidents on this curve. One only a few years ago after the change to the 15mph advisement signage was a gasoline tanker truck that overturned, causing a lot of damage and closing the road for many hours. I'd rather them enforce this area which is near a school and save us the tax dollars paying for Hazmat cleanup, or someone crossing into oncoming traffic.
