[Adopted 1-8-2021]
A.
It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to drive a vehicle
on a street or right-of-way at a speed greater than is reasonable
and prudent under the conditions and without having regard to the
actual and potential hazards then existing. In every event, speed
shall be so controlled as may be necessary to avoid colliding with
any person, vehicle or other conveyance on or entering the highway,
in compliance with legal requirements and the duty of all persons
to use due care.
B.
Where no special hazard exists, the following speeds shall be lawful,
but any speed in excess of such limits shall be absolute evidence
that the speed is not reasonable or prudent and that it is unlawful:
(1)
Speed limits on Town streets shall be 25 mph except as otherwise
provided by resolution adopted by the Town Council; provided, however,
that no speed limit modified by resolution of the Town Council shall
be enforceable until signage indicating the effective speed limit
has been properly installed upon such streets.
Any violation of any provision of this article is declared to be a civil offense and is subject to the voluntary assessment and other procedures described in Chapter 55 of this Code. Any person violating any provision of this article shall pay a civil assessment of $100 and shall also pay the Town's court costs and expenses, including its attorneys' fees.
