a careful and prudent speed not greater than nor less than is reasonable

permit him to bring it to a stop within the assured clear distance
ahead.

or any school when said school is in session, except as otherwise
required by state authority.
b.
Twenty-five miles per hour on other streets and on streets adjacent

speed limit, and when it does so, appropriate signs shall be placed
on such streets or parts of streets indicating the lower or higher
speed limit.
3.
It is unlawful to accelerate a vehicle in such a manner as to create
