normal and reasonable movement of traffic except when reduced speed is necessary 
for safe operation or in compliance with law.
2. If the director and the superintendent of the highway patrol, acting jointly, or a local 
authority within the authority's jurisdiction, determines on the basis of an engineering 
and traffic investigation that slow speeds on any highway or part of a highway impede 
the safe, normal, and reasonable movement of traffic, the director and superintendent 
or the local authority may determine and declare a minimum speed limit below which 
an individual may not drive a vehicle except when necessary for safe operation or in 
compliance with law, and that limit is effective when posted upon appropriate fixed or
