Grand Terrace Municipal Code Art. VI Speed Limits

A. Pursuant to the Vehicle Code, whenever the Council determines, upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey, that a greater speed would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be safe upon any street otherwise subject to a prima facie limit of 25 miles per hour under the Vehicle Code, the Council shall determine and declare a higher prima facie speed limit. When such determination has been made, the Council shall direct the engineer to erect and maintain signs upon such street as provided in the Vehicle Code indicating the appropriate prima facie speed limit. Such signs may be supplemented by appropriate pavement markings.

B. Whenever the Council, upon the basis of a traffic engineering investigation, finds that the conditions because of which a speed limit has been determined as provided in Subsection A. of this Section no longer exist, the Council shall direct the engineer to remove such signs and markings from such street.
