(a) No person shall drive a vehicle on a street at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions, and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing. Speed shall be so controlled as may be necessary to avoid colliding with any person, vehicle or other conveyance on or entering the street in compliance with legal requirements and the duty of all persons to use due care. (b) The speed limit in any business or residential district within the incorporate limits of the city shall be thirty (30) miles per hour except as otherwise provided in this article. (c) Whenever the city manager shall determine upon the basis of an engineering and a traffic investigation that the lawful speed limits permitted under this section upon any street or highway, or upon any part thereof, is greater or less than is reasonable or safe under the conditions found to exist upon such street or highway, the city manager may determine and declare a reasonable and safe lawful speed limit thereon which shall be effective at all times or during hours of daylight or darkness or at such other times as may be determined when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected. The city manager shall not have the authority to alter the basic rules set forth in subsection (a) or to establish a speed limit greater than fifty-five (55) miles per hour.
