[Ord. No. 21.6 §21-1(a), 9-6-1990; Ord. No. 950 §1, 3-19-2015]
The State traffic laws regulating the speed of vehicles shall
be applicable upon all streets and highways within the City, except
that the City may by ordinance declare and determine upon the basis
of engineering and traffic investigation that certain speed regulations
shall be applicable upon specified streets or in certain areas, in
which event it shall be unlawful for any person to drive a vehicle
at a speed in excess of any speed so declared when signs are in place
giving notice thereof, but no City ordinance shall regulate the speed
of vehicles upon controlled access highways of the State.
[Ord. No. 21.6 §21-1(a), 9-6-1990]
The City Traffic Engineer is authorized to regulate the timing
of traffic signals so as to permit the movement of traffic in an orderly
and safe manner at speeds slightly at variance from the speeds otherwise
applicable within the district or at intersections and shall erect
appropriate signs giving notice thereof.
No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as
to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic,
except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or in compliance
with law. Peace Officers may enforce the provisions of this Section
by directions to drivers, and in the event of apparent willful disobedience
to this provision and refusal to comply with direction of an officer
in accordance herewith, the continued slow operation by a driver is
a misdemeanor.
