THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON DOES

Section 1. The speed limits and provisions of
Resolution No. 1406 are hereby re-adopted with amendments as
noted in this resolution to read as follows:
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
2
otherwise specified, after official traffic control devices have
been posted to give notice thereof; provided, that in no case
shall the speed limit on City streets exceed fifty-five (55)
miles per hour.
