Section 13-40. Basic rules and maximum limits.
- Any person driving a vehicle on a street shall drive the same at a careful and prudent speed not greater than nor less than is reasonable and proper, having due regard to the traffic, surface, and width of the highway, and any other condition than existing; and no person shall drive any vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than will permit him to bring it to a stop within the assured clear distance ahead.
- Except when a special hazard exists that requires lower speed or compliance with paragraph (a) of this Section, the limits specified in this Chapter or established as hereinafter authorized shall be maximum lawful speeds, and no person shall drive a vehicle on a highway, street, avenue, or public thoroughfare at a speed in excess of such maximum limits, as follows:
- Twenty-five (25) miles per hour on other streets and on streets adjacent to schools at other times than that specified immediately above; provided that the Town of Tryon may reduce or increase the speed limit, and when it does so, appropriate signs shall be placed on all such streets or parts of streets indicating the lower or higher speed limit.
