AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF
THE CITY OF BURLINGAME BY ADDING §13.25.010
FIXING THE SPEED LIMIT FOR CERTAIN VEHICLES
DESCENDING TROUSDALE DRIVE AT 25 MILES PER
HOUR.
The City Council of the City of Burlingame determines
and finds upon the basis of an engineering study and a traffic
survey that the speed limit permitted by state law for certain
vehicles hereinafter particularly described is more than is
reasonable and safe for any of said vehicles descending the grade
on all portions of Trousdale Drive, a highway under the jurisdic-
tion of the City of Burlingame, and that a speed limit of 25 miles
per hour for such vehicles is found to be more appropriate to
facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and
safe for such vehicles.
Said City Council therefore ordains as follows:
Section 1: §13.25.010 is hereby added to the Municipal
Code of the City of Burlingame and shall read and provide as
follows:
1"§13.25.010 - Twenty-five miles per hour for certain
vehicles. No person shall drive any motor truck or truck -
tractor having three or more axles or any motor truck or truck -
tractor drawing any other vehicle at a speed in excess of twenty-
five (25) miles per hour in descending the grade on all portions
of Trousdale Drive. This section does not apply to any bus hav-
ing three or more axles."
Section 2: The Director of Public Works is hereby
authorized and directed to procure appropriate signs giving
notice of such speed limit and to erect the same along Trousdale
Drive.
Section 3: This ordinance shall be effective 30 days
after its adoption or when said signs are thereafter erected,
whichever shall first occur.

Section 4: This ordinance shall be published as re-
quired by law.

the City Council held on the 16th day of January, 1967, and
adopted thereafter at a regular meeting of the City Council held
on the 6th day of February 1967 by the follow-
ing votes:
