The speeds in subsections B1, B2 and B3 of this section, may be altered by the city through its mayor and council and the posting of different speeds by appropriate and plainly visible signs.
   C.   The driver of every vehicle shall, consistent with the requirements of subsection A of this section, drive at an appropriate reduced speed when approaching and crossing an intersection or railway grade crossing, when approaching and going around a curve, and when special hazards exist with respect to pedestrians or other traffic or by reason of weather or highway or street conditions.
In every charge of any speed violation in this section, the complaint, or traffic citation, shall specify the speed at which the defendant is alleged to have driven, and the prima facie speed applicable within the district or at the location. (Ord. 679, 12-23-1986)
