[Adopted 2-22-1971 by L.L. No. 1-1971 as
Ch. 124, Art. II, of the 1971 Code; amended 2-5-1973; 1-7-1985 by L.L. No. 1-1985]
A.
General.
(1)
The general health, welfare and good of the inhabitants
of the Village require that there be reasonable speed limits for vehicles
traveling on roads, whether state-, county- or Village-maintained,
within the Village. Experience has revealed that excessively high
limits endanger the lives and well-being of inhabitants of the Village
and of others traveling within the Village.
(2)
Except for one short strip of state-maintained highway,
the maximum speed limits do not anywhere exceed 40 miles per hour.
Near accidents and accidents, one of a fatal nature, have occurred
as a result of the failure of the Department of Transportation of
the State of New York to accede to the repeated requests of the Village
to lower the speed limits so that the maximum speed limit will be
consonant with the safety and well-being of the inhabitants and of
travelers within the Village.
