Please note: The current Engineering and Traffic Survey, for Cristo Rey Drive, prepared for the city of Los Altos on December 18, 2008 by Registered Engineer Thomas Ho, finds the 85-th percentile speed to be 40 MPH, and recommends the speed limit to be 35 MPH. The posted speed limit is 30 MPH, therefore a cop using a radar (or laser) there to check speed and stop (technically arrest) drivers is operating a speed trap " as defined under the California Vehicle Code (CVC) section 40802 subdivision (a) paragraph (2), and upheld in People v. Goulet (1992) 13 Cal.App.4th Supp. 1 [17 Cal.Rptr.2d 801].
Any radar based speeding ticket in that road section should be dismissed pursuant to CVC 40803 (b), CVC 40804 (a), and CVC 40805.
