Fremont Municipal Code Art. XIII Special Speed Limits

(a) The prima facie speed limit declared for each street designated in Section 10.05.1000 is a speed limit which is either an increase from the prima facie speed limit or a decrease from the maximum speed limit otherwise applicable to such street pursuant to Cal. Veh. Code Division 11, Chapter 7 (commencing at Section 22348 thereof). Said increase or decrease has been determined upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey. For each street upon which an increase in the prima facie speed limit (otherwise applicable) has been declared, a determination has been made that the increased declared prima facie speed limit is the most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe. For each street upon which a decrease from the maximum speed limit (otherwise applicable) has been made and a lower speed limit declared as the prima facie speed limit, a determination has been made that the maximum speed limit (otherwise applicable) is more than is reasonable or safe, and that the declared prima facie speed limit is most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe.

A copy of the engineering and traffic survey, and the record of the determination made thereon, for each said street, is and shall remain on file with the city clerk.

(b) The prima facie speed limit declared for each street designated in Section 10.05.1000 shall be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are posted upon the street.
