and no person shall drive any vehicle upon a street at such a speed
as to endanger any person or property. (State law reference: For similar

is given through movement of traffic in one direction at the expense
of cross traffic by utilization of stop signs or by direction of a
traffic officer. A driver's view shall be deemed to be obstructed
when at any time during the last 50 feet of his approach to such intersection
he does not have a clear and uninterrupted view of such intersection
and of the traffic upon all of the ways entering such intersection
for a distance of 200 feet from such intersection.
B. Twenty-five miles per hour in a business or residential
