SECTION 3: ADOPT UPDATE TO THE MAY 25 2005 RADAR SURVEY REPORT IN SECTION
11.68.005 DETERMINATION AND DECLARATION OF PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMITS.
Section 11.68.005 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as
follows:
11.68.005 Determination and declaration of prima facie speed limits.
The City Council approves and adopts the engineering and traffic survey dated May 25, 2005, and
the June 27, 2007 update to said survey, prepared by the Police Department and City Engineer, for the
streets and portions thereof set forth therein, copies of which are on file and available for public
inspection in the offices of the City Clerk and City Engineer. The City Council finds and determines that
the survey was conducted in accordance with the Vehicle Code and methods of conducting engineering
and traffic surveys prescribed in the California Department of Transportation and that the survey justifies
the speed limits set forth in this chapter. The City Council further finds and determines upon the basis of
the survey that a speed greater than twenty-five 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 11.68.015 through 11.68.035 and declares that the prima facie speed limit of each street or
portion thereof is the most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and
safe. The City Council declares these speed limits as prima facie speed limits for the streets or portions
thereof, which limits shall be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the
streets or portions thereof.
SECTION 3: SEVERABILITY
In the event any section or portion of this ordinance shall be determined invalid or unconstitutional, such
section or portion shall be deemed severable and all other sections or portions hereof shall remain in full
force and effect.

or against it, in the San Mateo Times, a newspaper of general circulation in the City of South San
Francisco, as required by law, and shall become effective thirty (30) days from and after its adoption.
