OPERATION GENERALLY
(A) It shall be unlawful to operate any vehicle or permit it to remain standing in any street in such manner as to create an obstruction thereof.
(B) It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to enter any intersection or crosswalk unless there is sufficient space on the other side of the intersection or crosswalk to accommodate the vehicle without obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, notwithstanding the indication of any traffic-control signal which may be located at the intersection or crosswalk.
(C) Any intersection deemed by the city to be of special or critical importance to the movement of traffic shall be marked in a distinctive manner in order to indicate its importance. Should the operator of any vehicle enter any intersection so marked when there is insufficient room on the other side of the intersection to accommodate the vehicle, the indication of any traffic-control signal notwithstanding, he or she shall be deemed to have violated this division (C) rather than division (B) above.
(1992 Code, § 71.01) Penalty, see § 71.999
The operator of any vehicle shall not turn such vehicle so as to proceed in the opposite direction unless such movement can be made in safety without interfering with other traffic.
(KRS 189.330(8)) (1992 Code, § 71.02) Penalty, see § 71.999
It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to back the vehicle at any intersection for the purpose of executing a turning movement. A vehicle from any parking position shall be backed by the operator in such manner as to proceed on the same side of the roadway in the lawful direction of travel.
(1992 Code, § 71.03) Penalty, see § 71.999
(A) It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to drive within any sidewalk space except at a permanent or temporary driveway or by special permit from the Chief of Police or other authorized city official.
(B) It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to drive the vehicle out of any alley, driveway, building or lot and across a sidewalk, or its extension across the alley, unless the vehicle has been brought to a complete stop immediately prior to crossing the sidewalk or its extension. On entering the roadway from the alley, driveway or building, the operator shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching on the roadway. The operator of any vehicle intending to cross a sidewalk and turn into an alley from the roadway may do so at low speed and with caution.
(1992 Code, § 71.04) Penalty, see § 71.999
(A) It is hereby determined that the speed permitted by state law is greater than is safe or reasonable under conditions existing on certain streets and certain areas within the incorporated limits of the city, and, therefore, it shall be unlawful for any person to operate a vehicle, except an emergency vehicle during an emergency, at a speed in excess of the speeds established by this section when signs are in place giving notice of such speed limit.
(B) It shall be unlawful for any person to drive or operate a motor vehicle upon and over the streets in the city at a speed greater than 20 mph, except in safety zones where the speed limit is decreased and designated on traffic signs, and except upon and over those portions of the interstate highways of Alexandria Pike and Johns Hill Road, as they are located within the city where the speed limit shall be that speed which is set and designated according to state law.
(C) Whoever violates the provisions of this section shall be subject to the fine schedule set forth in KRS 189.394.
