The City Council of the City of S~ratoga does hereby ordain as
follows:
WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Section 22352 .(1) (b) establ.ishes a prlma
facie speed limit of 25 m.p.h. on all city streets in a business or
residential district unless a different speed is established by Ordinance
Of this City, and
WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Section 22357' permits this City, by ordinance,
and based upon an engineering and traffic survey, to increase such prlma
facie speed limit on streets or portions of streets where such ~ncrease
would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be
reasonable and safel and
WHEREAS, conver.s~ly Vehicle.Code Section 22358 provides for the
decrease of a maximum speed limit in other than a business or residence
district where the maximum speed limit is found 'to be more than reasonable
or safe upon any st~ee~ or portlob'of-street in this City, where such max-
imum limit ~s otherwise applicable, and
WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sectioh 40802 (b) requires that any pr~ma
~acie speed limit as provided ~y VehiCle Code Section 22352 (1) (b), or
as established pursuant to either Sections 22357.or 22358 or 22358.3, would
constitute a speed trap for the purposes of enforcement by the use of radar
or other electronic devices, unless such speed limit is justified by an
engineering and traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the
date of the alleged violation, and
WHEREAS, the City has on the 21sE day of~, i976, con-
ducted and completed an engineering and traffic survey relating to the
speed, speed limits and prima facie speed limits of the hereinafter de-
scribed streets or portions of streets, andit is the desire of this
Council ~o up-date said prima fac~e speed limits ~n accord with said
enq~neering and traffic survey, and
~ WHEREAS, this Council hereby finds and determines that each of the
prima 'facie speed limits hereinafter set forth as to each of the streets
to which it or they are applicable, would and will facilitate the orderly
movement of vehicular traffic 'and will be reasonable and safe; that where
the prima facie speed limit of 25'm.p.h. is found and established, in a
business or residential district, that the prima facie limit of Vehicle
Code Section 22352 (b) (1) is a correct and proper prlma facie limit;
that where~q~'~a prima facie speed limit of 30, 35, 40 or 45 m.p.h. is
hereafter established as a prima facie speed limit on any street or por-
tion of street, if the same be an increase, then such increase is necessary
to facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and will be reason-
able a~d safe, and if such prima facie limit is a decrease, then the max-
imum limit is more than reasonable or safe upon the street or portion of
street to which the lower limit would apply, and such lower .limit is
found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly mo_~vemp~t of ~r~f~ic and is
reasonable and safe; that each and ~e~ery~on'~df'~i~ri~a ~'~6'i'~'l'f~i~-
hereafter esnablished is.based upon the hereinabove ~eferred to engineering
and traffic survey, which survey justifies the establishment and imposition
of the hereinafter se~ forth prima facie limits on the streets and portions
of streets to which each is made applicable.
