The State traffic laws regulating
the speed of vehicles shall be applicable upon all streets within
the Village, except that the Village 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.
[Ord. No. 17-03, 9-11-2017]
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Oak Grove, Franklin County, Missouri, is hereby
authorized to set speed limits within the corporate limits of the
Village of Oak Grove and to post speed limit signs at the proper places.
The Village 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.
[Ord. No. 17-03, 9-11-2017]
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 Village in excess
of twenty (20) 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.[1]
