A. It shall be unlawful for any person to drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and hazards, actual and potential, then existing.
B. The fact that the speed of a vehicle is lower than the limits established in this chapter shall not relieve the driver of the duty to decrease speed when a special hazard exists with respect to pedestrians, animals, property or other traffic by reason of weather, traffic, roadway conditions or any other actual or potential hazard then existing. It shall be unlawful for any person to fail to decrease speed given the presence of any hazard. (1968 Code §§6-5-1, 6-5-2; Ord. 75-86; Ord. 90-24; Ord. 01-42)
