Editor's note— Ord. No. 700, § 3, adopted July 6, 2010, repealed the former Division 15, §§ 3315—3317, and enacted a new Division 15 as set out herein. The former Division 15 pertained to special speed zones and derived from Ord. No. 660, 2005 and Ord. No. 661, 2005.

The speed limits set forth in the Vehicle Code shall be applicable upon all streets within the City except as this Division, pursuant to authority granted in the Vehicle Code, declares that a certain prima facie speed limit shall be applicable upon a specified street or portion thereof, in which event it shall be unlawful for any person to drive a vehicle at a speed in excess of any such prima facie speed limit so declared when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street.

(Ord. No. 700, § 3, 7-6-10)

(a) It is hereby determined on the basis of engineering and traffic surveys that a speed greater than twenty-five (25) miles per hour will facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and will be reasonable and safe upon the streets designated in Section 3317 of this Division that are otherwise subject to a prima facie speed limit of twenty-five (25) miles per hour under the Vehicle Code, and it is hereby declared that the prima facie speed limit upon such streets so designated shall be as therein stated, which speeds so declared shall be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street; provided however, that this section shall not apply to any twenty-five (25) miles per hour prima facie speed limit under the Vehicle Code that is applicable when passing a school building or the grounds thereof, or when passing a senior center or other facility primarily used by senior citizens.

(b) It is hereby determined on the basis of engineering and traffic surveys that the speed limit of fifty-five (55) miles per hour for two-lane undivided streets and sixty-five (65) miles per hour for other streets is more than is reasonable and safe upon the streets designated in Section 3317 of this Division that are otherwise subject to a speed limit of fifty-five (55) miles per hour or sixty-five (65) miles per hour, and it is hereby declared that the prima facie speed limit upon such streets so designated shall be as therein stated, which speeds so declared shall be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street.
