You Can Now Drive Faster on 10 San Ramon Streets

Mayor Bill Clarkson said the council had to raise the speed limits to comply with state regulations.

The San Ramon City Council reluctantly raised the speed limit on 10 roadways last month.

All five members voted in favor changing the speed limit, though they expressed frustration they needed to do so because if they didn't they wouldn't be complying with state regulations, Mayor Bill Clarkson said.

About 50 signs will be replaced and it will cost about $5,000.

Here are the roadways being impacted:

Lilac Ridge Road between Shoreline Drive and North Gale Ridge Road: 25 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour.

Deerwood Drive between Bollinger Canyon Road and Deerwood Road: 25 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour.

Deerwood Road between Crow Canyon Road and San Ramon Valley Boulevard: 35 miles per hour to 40 miles per hour.

Albion Road between Bollinger Canyon Road and Windemere Parkway: 30 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour.

Alcosta Boulevard between Veracruz Drive and Fircrest Lane: 30 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour.

Bollinger Canyon Road between Canyon Lakes Drive and Dougherty Road: 40 miles per hour to 45 miles per hour.

Crow Canyon Road between West City Limits and Old Crow Canyon road: 40 miles per hour to 45 miles per hour.

Crow Canyon Road between Alcosta Boulevard and East City Limits: 40 miles per hour to 45 miles per hour.

San Ramon Valley Boulevard between Norris Canyon Road and Montevideo Dirve: 40 miles per hour to 45 miles per hour.

Dougherty Road between Crow Canyon Road and Bollinger Canyon Road: 45 miles per hour to 50 miles per hour.
