Whenever the Department determines upon the basis of traffic engineering principles and investigation that the volume of traffic or the vertical curvature or other curvature of a roadway renders it hazardous to drive on the left side of the roadway, or to drive in the center portion of the roadway, the Department shall install distinctive roadway markings on such roadway or portions thereof, where no driving or crossing over such markings or to the left thereof is permitted. Such roadway markings shall be of a type consistent with the requirements of the Vehicle Code. (Amended by Ord. No. 134,523. Eff. 7/17/67.)
(For Other Speed Zone Schedule, See Sec. 80.81)
Pursuant to Section 22357 and 22358 of the Vehicle Code, the City Council hereby determines, upon the basis of engineering and traffic investigation, that a speed greater than 25 miles per hour would be reasonable and safe upon the streets designated in Section 80.81 of this chapter which are otherwise subject to a prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour under the said Vehicle Code, and that the maximum limit of 65 miles per hour is more than is reasonable and safe upon the streets designated in Section 80.81, which are otherwise subject to a maximum speed limit of 65 miles per hour under the said Vehicle Code. The Department is hereby authorized and directed to establish appropriate signs giving notice of the prima facie speed limits established by Section 80.81
. When signs are erected giving notice thereof, the prima facie speed limits set forth in Section 80.81 shall be in effect. (Amended by Ord. No. 134,523, Eff. 7/17/67.)
(Added by Ord. No. 170,010, Eff. 10/1/94.)
Pursuant to Section 22357.1 of the Vehicle Code of the State of California, the City Council hereby authorizes the Department of Transportation to set a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph on any street, other than a State highway, adjacent to any children’s playground in a public park, but only during particular hours or days when children are expected to use the facilities. Upon investigation and determination that a prima facia speed limit of 25 mph is appropriate, the Department is hereby authorized and directed to post playground, speed limit and hours of operation signs adjacent to such playgrounds. When said signs are erected giving notice thereof, the prima facie speed limit of 25 mph shall be in effect.
The Department is hereby authorized to determine and designate those intersections and other places where the elimination or restriction of left turns or of right turns is reasonably necessary in order to reduce traffic congestion or to diminish the hazard of collision, and when such determination has been made in any case, the Department 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. (Amended by Ord. No. 134,523, Eff. 7/17/67.)
The Department shall install markers, buttons or signs within or adjacent to intersections indicating the course to be travelled by vehicles turning at or approaching such intersections, whenever it determines upon the basis of traffic engineering principles and study that such an installation is necessary to control a hazard, reduce congestion or foster the orderly movement of traffic. (Amended by Ord. No. 134,523, Eff. 7/17/67.)
