CERTAIN PORTION OF MAIN STREET IN THE CITY OF
FAIRFAX.
The City Council hereby declares an emergency to exist
on and along that certain portion of Main Street between Roberts
Road and Route 237; that said emergency is occasioned by an ex-
cessive speed limitation, congestion of motor vehicle traffic and
an overload of pedestrian traffic across and along said portion
of said highway; and that immediate action is required for the
public safety. Accordingly the City Council, as an emergency mea-
sure and upon a review of an engineering and traffic investigation,
hereby ordains as follows:
1. That the speed limit on both eastbound and westbound
lanes of Main Street between Roberts Road and Route 237 be, and it
hereby is, fixed at twenty-five miles per hour.
2. That the aforesaid speed limit shall take effect im-
mediately upon the adoption of this ordinance and the erection or
location of appropriate signs or markers. The City Manager is here-
by directed to erect or locate adequate and appropriate signs or
markers forthwith.
3. This ordinance shall remain in effect for a period
of sixty days from the date of its enactment unless sooner amended
or repealed.
4. Any person violating any provision of this ordinance
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall
be punished according to law.
