AND RE-ENACTING CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL
CODE, FIXING SPECIAL SPEED LIMITS AND ADDING A NEW PROVISION
ESTABLISHING A SPECIAL SPEED LIMIT ON A PORTION OF EDINGER
STREET
WHEREA~, heretofore, Sections 3233 and 3235 through 3238, both
inclusive, of the Santa Ama Municipal Code have been adopted to es-
tablish special speed limits on portions of streets therein named and
it is desired to so codify all special speed limits as to set them up
in a separate Part of said Code; and
WHERW.~.~, an engineering, and traffic investigation of vehicular
traffic moving on Edinger Street between Bristol Street and a point
100 feet East of Center Street, indicates that the provisions of the
Vehicle Code of the Stal~e of California, fixing a prima facie speed
limit of 55 miles per houm, are applicable and that such speed is un-
~afe and constitutes a present and continuous traffic hazard, and the
County of Orange Traffic Committee has reached the same conclusion
and is recommending to the Board of Supervisors, Shat those portions of
Edinger Street between said points which are in the County of Orange,
be restricted to a speed limit of 35 miles per hour;
