  1.9      Subd. 5f.  [SPEED LIMIT ON STREET OR ROAD.] A town or 
  1.10  statutory or home rule charter city may by ordinance establish a 
  1.11  speed limit below the speed limit in subdivision 2, paragraph

  1.13  jurisdiction of the city or town, (2) is located in an urban 
  1.14  district, and (3) has been functionally classified as local.  A 
  1.15  speed limit may be established under this subdivision only if 
  1.16  the speed limit so established applies to all streets and 
  1.17  highways under the jurisdiction of the city or town that are 
  1.18  located in an urban district and have been functionally 
  1.19  classified as local.  The ordinance must prescribe the effective
