The State traffic laws regulating
the speed of vehicles shall be applicable upon all streets 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

[R.O. 1996 § 320.020; CC 1968 § 20-1; Ord. No. 323 § 1, 7-5-1966]
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.
[R.O. 1996 § 320.030; CC 1968 § 20-4; Ord. No. 199 § 1, 10-21-1957]
It shall be unlawful for any person
to interfere in any manner with the operation of radar or any other
device or method used to check, test, gauge or determine the speed
of motor vehicles within the City limits or to post any sign or notice
that any speed checks or tests are being conducted.
Except where otherwise provided by signs erected pursuant to
duly passed and approved ordinances, no person shall operate a vehicle
on any street in the City in excess of twenty-five (25) miles per
hour.
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
an ordinance violation.
No person shall operate a motor vehicle upon those portions
of the roadways which are set forth and described in Schedule II at
a rate of speed in excess of that speed limit set for such portions
of the roadways by said Schedule.
