(B) Provided that if the City Council, by ordinance, sets other limits as provided by statute after an engineering or traffic survey, or by home rule ordinance, then the limits shall govern the rate of speed on the streets indicated in the ordinances. The Director of Utilities and Engineering shall post appropriate signs showing the speed limits.
(C) Provided further that the speed of all vehicles, of the second division, as defined by statute, having two or more solid tires shall not exceed ten mph.
(D) The fact that the speed of a vehicle is lower than the foregoing limits shall not relieve the driver from the duty to decrease speed when approaching and crossing an intersection, when approaching and going around a curve, when approaching a hill crest, when traveling upon any narrow or winding roadway or when special hazards exist with respect to pedestrians, and speed shall be decreased as may be necessary to avoid colliding with any person or vehicle, or on entering the highway in compliance with legal requirements and the duty of all persons to use due care.
