(a)
All of the streets of this city, and all portions of any such streets, are hereby declared to be public streets, and 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 division shall be a misdemeanor, which is named “the offense of speeding,” and 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 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.
(b)
In prosecutions under this division 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 the city commit the offense of “speeding.”
