(a) 
In the event of construction on any street or highway, the city manager or designee is authorized to conduct an engineering and traffic investigation to determine if the maximum lawful prima facie speed limit established by this division or state law should be temporarily reduced in order to preserve and protect the public safety. If the city manager or designee determines that such speed limit should be reduced, he shall enter a written finding and order to that effect and, upon approval of that order in writing by the city manager or designee, temporary official traffic-control devices shall be erected giving notice of such speed limit prior to enforcement.

The finding and order of the city manager or designee shall estimate the length of time for which such temporary speed limit shall be in effect, and if necessary an additional order in writing shall be entered in the event it is necessary to extend such time. No such temporary speed limit shall be effective longer than is provided in such written order, nor in any event longer than is necessary to complete the construction for which the speed limit was ordered. A certified copy of the order shall be admissible in evidence in municipal court to establish the authority of such temporary speed limit, and it is hereby determined and declared that any such temporary speed limit found and ordered in accordance with this section shall be the speed which is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing, and any violation of such temporary speed limit shall be considered a violation of this Code of Ordinances.
