It shall be unlawful and punishable as a misdemeanor for any person to operate a vehicle upon any public thoroughfare, including any street, highway, vehicular way, or other thoroughfare, at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing. In every event, speed shall be so controlled as may be necessary to avoid colliding with any person, vehicle or other conveyance on or entering the thoroughfare in compliance with legal requirements and the duty of all persons to use due care. Where no special hazard exists that requires lower speed for the purpose of compliance with this section, the speed of any vehicle not in excess of the limits specified below shall be lawful, but any speed in excess of such limits shall be prima facie evidence that the speed is not reasonable or prudent and that it is unlawful.
