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 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.
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.
[CC 1996 § 335.030; Ord. No. 118 § 2]
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.
[Ord. No. 17-08-04 § 1, 8-10-2017]
The speed limit for all motor vehicles upon
any alleyway, as defined by Section 300.010, RSMo., shall be and is
hereby fixed at fifteen (15) 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 I at a rate of speed in excess of that speed limit set for
such portions of the roadways by said Schedule.
