ORDINANCE No. 1662
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AMENDING SECTION 13.24.010 TO PROVIDE
A THIRTY-FIVE MILE PER HOUR SPEED LIMIT ON TROUSDALE DRIVE
BETWEEN SEBASTIAN DRIVE AND SKYLINE BOULEVARD
The CITY
COUNCIL of the
CITY OF
BURLINGAME does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1.
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;
