The Town Board recognizes the potential adverse impact on the health,
safety and general welfare of the residents of the Town of Ontario living
in residential subdivisions by the lack of regulated speed limits and, therefore,
deems it appropriate to control such speed limits within said developments.
For the purposes of this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Any subdivision consisting in whole or in part of private residences
wherein a road has been constructed and subsequently dedicated to the Town
of Ontario and the Town has accepted the dedication of such roadway.
The entire width between the boundary lines of every roadway publicly
maintained when any part thereof is opened to the use of the public for purposes
of vehicular traffic.
A.
Upon the acceptance of dedication of any private road
or street by the Town Board of the Town of Ontario to be designated as a public
road within said Town as a residential subdivision road speed limit of 30
miles per hour shall, upon acceptance of the roadway for dedication and upon
proper posting, be in full force and effect for the entire length of said
roadway.
B.
Upon any preexisting subdivision roads wherein dedication
has previously been accepted by the Town Board of the Town of Ontario, if
another speed limit has not previously been posted, a speed limit of 30 miles
per hour shall be in full force and effect for the entire length of the road
upon posting. This subsection shall apply only to the following roads:
