THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Increasing or Decreasing Speed Limits on
Certain Streets, Highways or other Rights-of-Way. It is
determined, on the basis of an engineering and traffic
investigation, that the speed permitted by state law upon the
following streets or portion thereof is less than, or in some
cases, more than that necessary for safe operation of vehicles,
either because of (1) the designation and sign posting of these
streets as arterial highways; (2) the existence of widely spaced
intersections; or (3) the increased traffic on these streets as
disclosed by traffic studies. It is hereby declared that the
speed limits on such streets shall be as hereinafter set forth on
the streets or portions of same listed, at all times, unless
otherwise specified, after official traffic control devices have
been posted to give notice thereof; provided, that in no case
2
shall the speed limit on City streets exceed fifty-five (55)
miles per hour.
