The speed limit on motor vehicles within the City shall be 30
miles per hour, except where signs are posted indicating a lesser
or greater speed, in which case the speed indicated on such signs
shall be the speed limit.
On each main highway entering the City, signs, adequately illuminated
between sunset and sunrise, shall be placed on a post at the boundary
line of the City bearing the name of the City of Yonkers and the number
of miles per hour, which signs shall be of sufficient size as to be
easily readable by a person using the highway, the top of which shall
be not more than eight feet nor less than two feet from the ground.
Where either the background or sufficient of the letters and figures
of a sign are of reflecting material and are readable at night when
motor vehicle headlight rays fall upon the sign, and it is placed
in such position that the headlight rays of approaching motor vehicles
will strike it, no additional illumination between the hours of sunset
and sunrise shall be necessary.
[Added 2-28-2017 by G.O.
No. 4-2017]
No person shall participate in a drag race upon any park drive,
park, street or public property. "Drag racing" is defined as the operation
of two or more vehicles from a point side by side at accelerating
speeds in a competitive attempt to outdistance each other, or the
operation of one or more vehicles over a common selected course from
the same point to the same point wherein timing is made of the participating
vehicles involving competitive accelerations or speeds. The operation
of two or more vehicles side by side, either at speeds in excess of
permitted speeds on park drives, park streets, or public property
or rapidly accelerating from a common starting point to a speed in
excess of such permitted speeds, shall be prima facie evidence of
"drag racing."
