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.
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 III at a rate of speed in excess of that speed limit set
for such portions of the roadways by said Schedule.[1]
