The temporary twenty mile per hour speed limit shall be fully enforceable by law enforcement officers authorized to enforce traffic safety laws within the city of Yakima. A violation of this section shall be chargeable as an infraction punishable as a violation of posted speed restrictions in accord with R.C.W. 46.61.400. (Ord. 2000-20 § 1, 2000).
