Vehicles parked on a street longer than 72 hours are subject to removal per California Vehicle Code 22651(k) and Pleasanton Municipal code 11.40.010 (A). To report abandoned vehicles please contact the Pleasanton Police Department's traffic hotline at 925-931-KARS (5277).

There are specific guidelines that must be followed to legally establish and enforce speed limits.

• State law allows for a 25 MPH speed limit in business and residential districts.  This limit does not have to be posted to be enforced.
• Speed limits between 25 and 65 MPH are required to be established on the basis of engineering and traffic surveys. 
• Engineering and traffic surveys include an analysis of roadway conditions, collision records and a sampling of the prevailing speed of traffic. 
• The speed limit is set within 5 mph of the prevailing speed as it is assumed the majority of drivers drive at a speed that is safe and prudent for the given roadway. 
• A 5 MPH speed limit reduction is allowed at locations with unusual conditions not readily apparent to the driver.
•  View our speed zoning map.  Select the street segment you are interested in to see the speed limit and a link to the speed survey.
• If posted speed limits are set artificially low, disrespect is created for the limits, and since they are not set in accordance with the law, they are not enforceable with radar. 
• The state maximum speed limit would then apply (65 mph).

Stop signs are installed at an intersection only after a careful engineering evaluation of the existing conditions indicates that their installation is appropriate, and that there is a need for stop signs in order to provide access or assign right of way.  The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and California Supplement identify specific traffic and pedestrian volumes, accident history and unusual conditions that would indicate need for installation of stop signs.

View information on different color curbs. If you would like to request a new colored curb please call (925) 931-5669.

Speed lumps are installed through our Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (NTCP). For information on the speed humps click here. View information on the NTCP.

Get the necessary forms. You can either fax in these forms and pay by phone with a credit card or come to our counter to pay in person. Please provide proof of insurance. The cost for a permit is $16 per truck per trip or $90 for an annual permit (one truck, one route). Call (925) 931-5677 to obtain more information.

There are a few neighborhoods that have parking restrictions that require the display of a permit to park on the street. If you live in one of these areas you can obtain a permit by contacting the records division of the Pleasanton Police Department (Monday - Friday: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.) at (925) 931-5100.

Those tubes you see on the streets are there to collect traffic volume and speed data. Although much of our traffic data is collected through our traffic signals detection equipment, it is sometimes necessary to have tubes put on a street for an engineering study or to update our annual traffic count map. Typically these are out for a week at a time and will be removed after the data is collected. Please do not tamper with the tube or attached equipment.

The city does not install these signs, as they are not approved by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Studies have found no change in driver behavior after installation. There is no way to enforce a "slow" sign because slow is subjective. The city also has a concern that the city would appear to encourage play in the streets, which we know to be unwise.
