Sections:

10.08.010    Increased Speed limit in certain zones.

10.08.020    Maximum Speed limit on all city streets of twenty-five miles per hour unless otherwise established.

10.08.010 Increased speed limit in certain zones

It is determined upon the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation that the twenty-five mile per hour speed limit established by state law upon the following streets is less than is necessary for safe operation of vehicles thereon. This is due to the designation and signposting of the streets as arterial highways and/or by reason of widely spaced intersections. It is declared that the speed limit shall be as set forth below on those streets or parts of streets designated, to be effective when signs are erected giving notice thereof.
