(1) Upon recommendation of the City Engineer, the City Manager, or his designee, may impose reduced speed limits within construction zones at such levels as is reasonably necessary for the protection of the citizens, drivers, and those associated with the construction and their property during the period of construction.

(2) For the purpose of this section, a “roadway construction zone” is an area where the construction, repair, or maintenance work is being conducted on or adjacent to any public roadway whether or not public employees or private contractors are present, but where driving conditions exist that would make it unsafe to drive at a higher speed. The construction zone shall be designated by signage or flaggers.

(3) The temporary construction zone speed limit shall be posted within the construction zone and shall remain in effect until removed by the City Manager, or his designee.

(4) No person shall drive a vehicle in a roadway construction zone at a speed greater than that posted or allowed by traffic control devices. [Ord. 4291, 2016; Code 1970 § 12.24.145.]
