[Adopted 11-18-2010 by L.L. No. 4-2010]
The Town Board determined that a maximum speed limit needs to
be established in order to protect Greenville citizens and visitors
who use and visit Town parks. It has been observed that, from time
to time, motorists using roads within Town parks have travelled the
roads within the parks at speeds that endanger the safety of adults
and children using park facilities.
The Town Board herein and hereby determines that the maximum
speed limit on roads within all Town parks shall be 5 m.p.h.
Every person convicted of a violation of this article shall
be subject to the following penalties:
A. First conviction: Fine of $30 to $100.
B. Second conviction within 18 months: $60 to $200 and/or 15 days' jail.
C. Third or subsequent conviction within 18 months: $120 to $400 and/or
30 days' jail.
The Town Highway Superintendent shall be authorized to place
speed limit signs in conformity with this chapter at the entrance
to and exit of Town parks and at such appropriate locations within
the park area and along the roads within said parks as he deems appropriate.
