§ 110-71. Application of state law.

(a)

The state traffic laws regulating the speed of vehicles shall be applicable upon all streets within the city; provided, however, that when the director of public works determines and declares upon the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation that particular speed regulations shall be applicable upon specified streets, or in particular areas, he shall make a recommendation to the board of aldermen, which may in turn adopt an ordinance declaring a speed limit other than the speed limit previously existing. After the adoption of such ordinance, signs indicating the speed limit shall be erected, and it shall be unlawful for any person to drive a vehicle at a speed in excess of the speed posted.

(b)

It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a vehicle upon any city maintained street at a speed in excess of 25 miles per hour, unless otherwise posted pursuant to passage of an ordinance by the board of aldermen in accordance with subsection (a) of this section.

(c)

The streets, or portions of such streets, which have a speed limit greater than 25 miles per hour are set forth in appendix A of Ordinance No. 960024.
