Ordinance No. 5421
Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Establishing Speed Limits
for Certain Streets Pursuant to the California Vehicle Code and Amending
Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 10.56 (Special Speed Zones) to
Establish Such Speed Limits, Including Increased Speed Limits of 40 MPH
on Two Roadway Segments and Reduced Speed Limits of 20 MPH Within
School Zones During School Hours When Children Are Present
The City Council of the City of Palo Alto ORDAINS as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings and Recitals. The Council of the City of Palo Alto finds and
declares as follows:
A. California Vehicle Code section 22357 provides that whenever a local
authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that a speed
greater than 25 miles per hour would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic
and would be reasonable and safe upon any street other than a state highway otherwise
subject to a prima facie limit of 25 miles per hour, the local authority may by ordinance
determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60 miles per
hour or a maximum speed limit of 65 miles per hour, whichever is found most
appropriate.
B. California Vehicle Code section 22358.3 provides that whenever a local
authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that the prima
facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour in a business or residence district or in a public
park on any street having a roadway not exceeding 25 feet in width, other than a state
highway, is more than is reasonable or safe, the local authority may, by ordinance or
resolution, determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 20 or 15 miles per hour,
whichever is found most appropriate.
C. California Vehicle Code section 22358.4 provides that a local authority
may, by ordinance or resolution, determine and declare prima facie speed limits of 15
miles per hour, in a residence district, on a highway with a posted speed limit of 30
miles per hour or slower, when approaching, at a distance of less than 500 feet from, or
passing, a school building or the grounds of a school building, contiguous to a highway
and posted with a school warning sign that indicates a speed limit of 15 miles per hour,
while children are going to or leaving the school, either during school hours or during
the noon recess period. The prima facie limit shall also apply when approaching, at a
distance of less than 500 feet from, or passing, school grounds that are not separated
from the highway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier while the grounds are in use
by children and the highway is posted with a school warning sign that indicates a speed
limit of 15 miles per hour.

D. The declared prima facie limit shall only be effective when appropriate
signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street and the limits shall not be revised
except upon the basis of an engineering and traffic study.
E. An engineering and traffic study survey was conducted for the City by
Stantec Consulting Services Inc. in 2016.
F. The City Council desires to establish an increased speed of 40 mph for
two roadway segments – East Bayshore from Embarcadero Road Bicycle and Pedestrian
Overcrossing to Adobe Creek, and Deer Creek Road from Page Mill Road to Arastradero
Road -- to allow for radar enforcement of speed limits consistent with the 2016 survey.
G. In 2008, California Assembly Bill (AB) 321 went into effect which allows
local jurisdictions, by adoption of an ordinance or resolution, to extend the 25 mph
prima facie speed limit in school zones from 500 feet to 1,000 feet from the school
grounds and to reduce the speed limit to 15 or 20 mph up to 500 feet from the school
grounds, under certain conditions.
H. The City Council desires to establish a reduced speed limit of 20 mph
within 500 feet of public schools within the City during school hours when children are
present, as allowed by law.
I. The City Council has determined and declares that on the basis of the
California Vehicle Code and the relevant engineering and traffic survey(s) that the speed
limits set forth herein are the most reasonable, safe and appropriate to facilitate the
orderly movement of traffic on the applicable portions of such streets within the City.
SECTION 2: Section 10.56.010 (State twenty-five miles per hour prima facie
speed limit justified) is hereby amended as follows:
10.56.010 Twenty-five (25) miles per hour prima facie speed limit justified
It is determined that the state twenty-five miles per hour prima facie speed limit
for business or residence districts is justified, as required by state law, with respect to

CONSUMER DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Palo Alto (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
