Item:
Amendment of Chapter 38 of the Salina Code by adoption of the 1996
Standard Traffic Ordinance and repealing Sections 38-5 and 38-6.
Background:
The 1996 Edition of the Standard Traffic Ordinance (STO) has been
issued by the League of Kansas Municipalities. The proposed ordinance
incorporates the STO by reference and sets out separately the City's amended
versions of Section 33 regarding maximum speed limits (more detailed than
STO) and Section 85 regarding stopping, standing, or parking (yellow painted
curbs. )
Changes from the currently applicable 1994 STO include:
Section 13 - Traffic-Control Signal Legend. Minor changes regarding the
traffic control signal legend.
Section 14 - Pedestrian-Control Signals. Adds reference to "walking
person" and "upraised palm" as symbols for pedestrian control signals.
Section 16 - Lane-Direction-Control Signals. Provides more specific detail
concerning the meaning of the different colors of lane direction-control
signals.
Section 17 - Display of Unauthorized Signs, Signals or Markings.
Augments sub-section (b) concerning prohibition of commercial advertising
upon any traffic control device by adding "except for business signs included
as part of official motorist service panels or roadside area information panels
approved by the secretary of transportation."
Section 31 - Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer. Includes
provision for use of a police bicycle as a pursuing vehicle.
Section 33 - Maximum Speed Limits. The STO section was amended to
reflect the increase in highway speed limits. The City's version addresses the
same issue by allowing for posted speed limits in excess of 55 miles per hour.
Section 49 - Turning. Adds a section governing the use of two-way left
turn lanes.

Section 199 - Unlawful Use of License. Adds a phrase to specifically
prohibit the display or possession of any canceled, revoked, suspended,
fictitious or fraudulently altered driver's license for use in the purchase of
any alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverage and increases the fine from "not
more than $1,000 or by imprisonment for not more than one year or by both."
Staff review of Chapter 38 identified two sections no longer in use. Both
relate to police department involvement in licensing persons under age 16 to
drive. The City has no involvement in the licensing of drivers. The
proposed ordinance simply repeals both actions.
Recommendation:
1. Adopt Ordinance Number 96-9752.
2. Adopt Ordinance Number 96-9753.
