The State traffic laws regulating the speed of vehicles shall
be applicable upon all streets within the Village, except that the
Village may by ordinance declare and determine upon the basis of engineering
and traffic investigation that certain speed regulations shall be
applicable upon specified streets or in certain areas, in which event
it shall be unlawful for any person to drive a vehicle at a speed
in excess of any speed so declared when signs are in place giving
notice thereof.
The Village Traffic Engineer is authorized to regulate the timing
of traffic signals so as to permit the movement of traffic in an orderly
and safe manner at speeds slightly at variance from the speeds otherwise
applicable within the district or at intersections and shall erect
appropriate signs giving notice thereof.
[Ord. No. 116 §1, 4-19-1982]
Except where otherwise provided by signs erected pursuant to
duly passed and approved ordinances, no person shall operate a vehicle
on any street in the Village in excess of twenty-five (25) miles per
hour.
No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as
to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic,
except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or in compliance
with law. Peace Officers may enforce the provisions of this Section
by directions to drivers, and in the event of apparent willful disobedience
to this provision and refusal to comply with direction of an officer
in accordance herewith, the continued slow operation by a driver is
an ordinance violation.
No person shall operate a motor vehicle upon those portions
of the roadways which are set forth and described in Schedule I at
a rate of speed in excess of that speed limit set for such portions
of the roadways by said Schedule.

to a speed in excess of said lawful speeds shall be prima facie evidence
of drag racing.

with respect to roads under their respective jurisdictions, on any
section where construction or major maintenance operations are being
