On the basis of engineering and traffic surveys, the City Council determines that the prima facie limit applicable under the California Vehicle Code is more than reasonable or safe upon the portions of the City streets hereinafter described, as to which the prima facie speed limit is herein fixed at a lower rate. On the basis of engineering and traffic surveys, such Council determines that a speed greater than the prima facie limit of 25 miles per hour applicable under the California Vehicle Code would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe upon the portions of the City streets hereinafter described, as to which the prima facie speed limit is herein fixed at a higher rate. The Council finds that the prima facie speed limits hereinafter set forth are most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and are reasonable and safe, as to the respective portions of City streets described, and the Council determines and declares that the prima facie speed limits on such portions of City streets are respectively as hereinafter set forth.
(Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 10.16.010; Ord. 169 § 1, 2019)
The prima facie speed limits established by this chapter shall be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected on such streets, and it shall be the duty of the City Engineer to erect and maintain such signs. This chapter is adopted pursuant to, and subject to the limitations and exceptions of, Section 21 and Sections 22357 to 22359, inclusive, of the California Vehicle Code.
(Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 10.16.020; Ord. 169 § 1, 2019)
Whenever a portion of a City street is being used or is about to be used as a detour route under a reconstruction project of a highway and the City Engineer determines that the existing speed limit upon such street is more than reasonable and safe because of increased vehicular traffic and a reduced speed zone is warranted and necessary, he or she may temporarily fix such appropriate lower rate as provided in Section 22358 of the California Vehicle Code which will facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and will be reasonable and safe upon that portion of the street for the period the street is used as a detour route. Thereupon the prima facie speed limit so fixed shall be effective during the period appropriate signs are erected and maintained along that portion of the street by the Director of Transportation.
