Cross Reference: See also Schedule II, Speed Limits, included
at the end of Title III.
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 Administrator, in consultation with professional engineers,
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. 1992 § 813.010; Ord. No.
1796-00, 8-1-2000]
Vehicle operators shall not exceed the speed limits set forth
in Schedule II which is incorporated herein by reference. Except as
set forth in said Schedule II, the speed limit upon all other streets
and highways located within the City of Camdenton shall be twenty-five
(25) miles per hour. 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 actual location of signs shall
be the locations in which the speeds stated are regulated.
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.[1]
