Jurisdiction of Cities vs. County, Legal
Opinion
Legal Opinion by Herbert Kenton, Deputy County Counsel, March
16, 1988
Quoted statements:
"The authority to regulate traffic on portions of County highways
within the territorial limits of a city, rests with the city."
"It is the County Counsel's opinion that where authority to
prohibit bicycles on County expressways exists, the authority rests
with the city in whose jurisdiction the expressway or portion thereof
may lie."
Above is the top portion of page 1. Below is the portion on Page 9
that answers question #2: If prohibiting bicycles on the expressways
is discretionary with local authorities, which has authority to
prohibit such use, a city or the County?.
