ARTICLE XVIII - Approval of Engineering and Traffic Survey

The Council hereby approves and adopts the Engineering and Traffic
Survey dated January 2, 1980, prepared by TJKM Transportation Consultants of
Walnut Creek, California, for the streets and portions thereof set forth
therein, copies of which are on file in the offices of the City Clerk and
Director of Public Services available for public inspection. The Council finds
and determines that said survey was conducted in accordance with the Vehicle
Code of the State of California and methods of conducting engineering and
traffic surveys prescribed by the Director of Transportation of the Business
CENTRAL RECORDS
1
and Transportation Agency of the State of California, and that said survey
justifies the speed limits recommended for the streets and portions of streets
therein described and the prima facie speed limits set forth in Section 18.1
through 18.6 hereof. The Council further finds and determines upon the basis
of said survey 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 or portions of streets designated in Sections 18.2,

street or portion thereof is the most appropriate to facilitate the orderly
movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe. The Council declares said
speed limits as prima facie speed limits for said streets or portions thereof,
which limits shall be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof
are erected upon the said streets or portions thereof.
