Wis JI-Civil 1300
Speed: Impeding Traffic
The statutes regulating the speed of motor vehicles, in addition to regulating
maximum speeds, also provide that no person shall drive a motor vehicle at a speed so slow
as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is
necessary for safe operation (or is necessary to comply with the law). To comply with this
statute, a driver is required to use ordinary care under circumstances then and there existing.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
