XII.
The State traffic laws regulating the speed of vehicles shall
be applicable upon all streets within the City, except that the City
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, but no City ordinance shall regulate the speed of
vehicles upon controlled access highways of the State.
[CC 1976 §320.020]
The City 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.
[CC 1976 §320.010; Ord. No. 1350 §1, 4-11-1979]
It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a motor vehicle
except emergency vehicles within the City in excess of twenty-five
(25) mph unless a higher or lower maximum rate of speed has been authorized
by ordinance, and when signs have been erected giving notice thereof.
Those speed limits which have been established as exceptions to this
Section are set forth in Schedule XII.
