A. Pursuant to section 22357(a) of the California Vehicle Code, whenever the City Council determines upon the basis of a traffic engineering investigation 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 twenty five (25) miles per hour under the Vehicle Code, the City Council shall determine and declare, by ordinance, a higher prima facie speed limit and direct the City Engineer to erect and maintain signs upon such street as provided in the California Vehicle Code, indicating the appropriate prima facie limit. Such signs may be supplemented by appropriate pavement markings.

Whenever the City 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 City Council shall by ordinance direct the City Engineer to remove such signs and markings from such street and appropriately reevaluate the speed limit.
