(A) Zones designated. The Board of Public Works and Safety is authorized to declare, establish, and designate any part of a street within the city a no passing zone if the Board first finds and determines that pedestrians walking upon or across any part of the street are exposed to serious traffic hazard by any vehicle passing or overtaking another vehicle moving in the same direction within the area, or that prohibition of passing is necessary to relieve congestion. The Board may also establish, post, and enforce a special speed limit at places established as no passing zones.
(B) No operator of any vehicle shall pass or overtake any other vehicle moving in the same direction within any no passing zone, nor shall any operator of a vehicle exceed the fixed speed limit if the zone is indicated by appropriate signs or marks on the roadway indicating the beginning and end of the zone and the speed limit, and if the signs and markings are in place and clearly visible to an ordinarily observant person. No operator of any vehicle shall fail to give any pedestrian in any crosswalk the right-of-way when such pedestrian has entered the crosswalk.
