Based upon engineering and traffic investigations of the Director of Safety of the State Highway Commission, at his request, and with the written approval of said Commission, it is now determined that the speed limit fixed by state law and the general traffic ordinance of the city is less than reasonable or safe under the conditions found to exist upon that portion of U.S. Highway No. 81 that lies in the city and extends from the south line of the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 3 in Township 3 South, Range 3 West, in the county, northeasterly to an extension westward of the north line of Eighteenth Street, and that fifty miles per hour is a reasonable and safe speed limit at that place.

(Ord. 423 § 1, 1960)
