Prima facie speed limits: Golden Gate Park.

Existing law authorizes a local authority to enact various speed laws, including setting by ordinance or resolution, a prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour on any street, other than a state highway, adjacent to any children's playground in a public park, under specified circumstances. This bill would authorize the City and County of San Francisco to reduce the prima facie speed limit to 15 miles per hour when driving on a street or road within Golden Gate Park in the City of San Francisco, with specified exclusions, and report to the Department of Transportation regarding any traffic calming measures undertaken to maintain or increase pedestrian and bicyclist safety, as prescribed. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for Golden Gate Park in the City of San Francisco.
