(A) No person shall drive a vehicle on a street or highway within the Town at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions then existing.
(B) For provisions concerning general speed limits per hour in municipalities, see G.S. § 20-141. For provisions concerning speed limits established by the Town on specific streets, see § 70.47.
(C) 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 hazard exists with respect to pedestrians or other traffic or by reason of weather or street conditions. Speed shall be decreased as may be necessary to avoid colliding with any person, vehicle, or other conveyance on or entering the street or highway, and to avoid causing injury to any person or property either on or off the street or highway, in compliance with legal requirements and the duty of all persons to use due care.
