(b)   Except as otherwise provided in this article establishing the maximum speed limit in school zones, the following maximum speed limits are hereby established.

(1)   Grand Avenue (71st Street South) from the east city limits to the west city limits: 35 mph;

(c)   Except for the speed limit established by the Secretary of Transportation described above in b(4), the maximum speed limits established herein shall be effective if official traffic control devices or signs giving notice of such maximum speed limits are erected upon or at the entrances to the highway or part thereof affected as may be more appropriate.
