Clark v. Rucker

Supreme Court of North Carolina

110 S.E.2d 605; 1959 N.C. LEXIS 520
Higgins

Clark v. Rucker

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The Highway Commission may determine safe speeds on highways in proximity to schools. When conditions do not exist requiring a limitation of speed, the Commission is not required to impose restrictions. Here the posted signs fixed the time when the speed restriction was in force. The collision did not occur during that *91period. It follows that a speed not in excess of 55 m.p.h. was not per se unlawful.

No error.

Higgins, J., not sitting.
