Vehicles.

Existing law provides that the prima facie speed limit is 25 miles per hour when passing a senior center or other facility primarily used by senior citizens that is next to a street other than a state highway and posted with a standard "SENIOR" warning sign. Existing law provides that a local authority is not required to erect the standard "SENIOR" warning sign until it receives donations from a private source to cover the costs of erecting the signage and the local authority determines that the proposed signing should be implemented. Existing law provides, however, that a local authority may pay for the cost of erecting the signs with any other funds available to it. This bill would instead permit a local authority to erect a standard "SENIOR" warning sign when it determines that the proposed signing should be implemented. The bill would also authorize a local authority to request grant funding to pay for the erection of those warning signs from the Pedestrian Safety Account or from any other source of grant funding.
