§ 10.12.010. Intent and purpose.¶
The intent and purpose of this chapter is to establish prima facie speed limits on certain specified streets within the City in order to allow radar or other electronic speed measuring devices to be used for enforcement and citation purposes. It is also intended to establish by use and function some streets as residential in the event they do not meet the specific definition of a residential district within the California Vehicle Code. These clarifications are necessary in consideration of the rural type development, large lot design, lack of sidewalks, and equestrian orientation of the community.

§ 10.12.020. Justification.¶
In accordance with the appropriate sections within the California Vehicle Code, engineering and traffic surveys are performed as necessary on streets shown on the functional classification map and not subject to prima facie speed limits contained within the California Vehicle Code as well as those not shown on the map and not meeting the definition of a residential area. The speeds on those street segments surveyed are safe and reasonable and are considered appropriate to facilitate the safe and orderly movement of traffic and the safety and protection of the pedestrian/equestrian segment of the community.
