(b) Non-posted streets.
For all non-posted streets in the

Maximum speed limits will
be determined by the state department of transportation for state-maintained

and F.M. 685, and are posted by the state department of transportation

(d) Penalty.
(1) All of the streets of this city, and all portions of any such streets,
are hereby declared to be public streets and that the driving or operating
of any motor vehicle on or along any portion of any street of this
city at a rate of speed that is greater than the maximum rate of speed
for said portion of said street, as fixed by this section shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, which is named “the offense of speeding”
and that the said offense is punishable by a fine in any sum not to
exceed two hundred dollars ($200.00). The use of the word “speeding”
shall be sufficient to designate the said offense, and shall mean
that a motor vehicle has been driven upon a public street at a greater
rate of speed than fixed by city ordinance for the street and for
the zone thereof, that such motor vehicle was so being driven upon,
if zoned.
(2) In prosecutions under this section, for the offense of speeding,
the complaint, if in other respects sufficient in form, shall as to
the portion thereof seeking to acknowledge the offense, be sufficient
if it in substance alleges that the defendant did while driving a
motor vehicle in said city commit the offense of “speeding.”
