The City has received a petition for residents of the Trousdale Drive neighborhood seeking relief from traffic problems in the area. One of the principal concerns is the speed of vehicles traveling on Trousdale Drive. Currently, Trousdale Drive between Sebastian Drive and Skyline Boulevard is legislated at a 25 mile per hour speed, which means that under State law, radar enforcement cannot be used. The street does not lend itself to pacing enforcement. Therefore, speed enforcement is extremely difficult. Radar surveys show that an enforceable 35 mile per hour speed limit should make the street safer and provide the police with the tools necessary to hold this limit. Section 2. Subsection 13.24.010 is amended to read as follows: 13.24.010 Thirty-five miles per hour. (a) No person shall drive a vehicle upon any of the following designated streets at a speed greater than thirty-five miles per hour; its being determined that the speed limitation hereby established is most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable an safe: and d (1) Bayshore Highway; (2) California Drive between Burlingame Avenue and Murchison Drive; (3) Carolan Avenue between Broadway and Oak Grove Avenue; (4) Peninsula Avenue between California Drive and Humboldt Road (5) Rollins Road; (6) Skyline Boulevard from six hundred feet north of Rivera Drive south to the city limits; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26',' 27 28 (7) Trousdale Drive between El Camino Real and Skyline Boulevard.
