(a) 
Limited. No driver of a vehicle shall make a right turn against the red of a "stop" signal at any intersection which is sign posted to give notice of such restriction.
(b)

(§ 18, Ord. 1539 c.s.)
(a) 
Installation authorized. Whenever the City Manager shall determine upon the basis of traffic engineering principles and investigations that the volume of traffic or the vertical curvature or other curvatures of the roadway render it hazardous to drive on the left side of the roadway or to drive in the center portion of the roadway, the City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to install distinctive roadway markings on such roadways or portions thereof where no driving or crossing over such markings or to the left thereof shall be permitted.
(b) 
Construction. Distinctive roadway markings are hereby determined to be double lines as follows:
(1) 
A double line consisting of two parallel solid white lines, each four (4′) inches in width, separated by a black line three (3″) inches in width or a corresponding width of pavement; or
(2) 
A double line consisting of two parallel lines, one of which shall be a solid white line and one a broken white line, each four (4′) inches in width, separated by a black line three (3″) inches in width or a corresponding width of pavement; provided that whenever the markings hereinbefore authorized shall consist of a combination of a solid line and a broken line, traffic proceeding on that side of the highway in which such broken line is in place may cross over such double line or drive to the left thereof when overtaking or passing other vehicles; and provided, further, the term "broken line," as used in this section, shall mean a line in which the breaks or unpainted portions thereof do not exceed twenty-six (26′) feet in length, and the solid or painted portions thereof between such breaks are not less than eight (8′) feet in length.
(c) 
Establishment. Such lines and markings shall be established in accordance with Section 21.15 of the California Maintenance Manual, Edition of 1949.
(d) 
Crossing. Whenever authorized markings are in place in accordance with the provisions of this section, the driver of any vehicle shall not drive along the highway to the left thereof, but this shall not prevent turning to the left across any such markings at any intersection or private driveway.

(g) 
Speed zones. Section 627(b)(3) of the California Vehicle Code allows the setting of a speed limit to be based upon an engineering and traffic survey which considers the prevailing speeds, accident records, highway, traffic and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver. The City Council finds:
(1) 
The street profile along Palos Verdes Boulevard displays a vertical curve requiring a speed limit of 30 miles per hour for safe stopping sight distance as determined by the engineering and traffic survey;
(2) 
The safe stopping sight distance is not readily apparent to the driver until an emergency condition is experienced;
(3) 
The establishment of a 30 miles per hour speed limit will facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be a reasonable and safe speed on Palos Verdes Boulevard based upon the street condition;
(4) 
The 30 miles per hour speed limit is established on Palos Verdes Boulevard from Pacific Coast Highway to the eastern corporate limits of the City until such time as the profile of the street is changed to improve the stopping sight distance; and
(5) 
The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to place signs establishing a prima facie speed limit of 30 miles per hour on Palos Verdes Boulevard from Pacific Coast Highway to the eastern corporate limits of the City.

The City Manager is hereby authorized to determine and designate those intersections and other places where the elimination or restriction of left turns or right turns is reasonably necessary in order to reduce traffic congestion or to diminish the hazard of collision. When such determination has been made, the Director of Street Lighting and Traffic Control is directed to install at each intersection or place so designated appropriate signs giving notice that left turns or right turns, or both, are prohibited in one or more directions and at such times, or at all times, as may be consistent with the finding of necessity.

It is unlawful for the driver of any vehicle to make a left turn or to make a right turn at an intersection or at any entrance into a street or public way, or into or out of any alley, or at any other place upon a public street or public way where there is posted at or adjacent to such intersection, entrance, or other place an authorized, appropriate sign giving notice that left turns or right turns, or both, are prohibited.
(§ 22, Ord. 1539 c.s.)
The City Manager may place markers, buttons, or signs within or adjacent to intersections indicating the course to be traveled by vehicles turning at such intersections.
(§ 23, Ord. 1539 c.s.)
