Sunnyvale Municipal Code Ch. 10.28 Speed Limits

(a) Pursuant to the authority granted by the California Vehicle Code, it is determined upon the basis of engineering and traffic surveys that: as to certain streets or portions thereof, the speed limit permitted by state law outside the business and residence districts is greater than reasonable or safe under the conditions found to exist upon such streets. It is further determined that as to other streets or portions thereof, a speed greater than that permitted by state law would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe under the conditions found to exist upon such streets.

(b) It is declared that the prima facie speed limit for each such street or portion thereof shall be as set forth in the city council resolution concerning "SPEED LIMITS" when signs are erected giving notice of such limits. Such resolution may be amended from time to time.
