1. "The provisions oí the second paragraph oí section 2 of the act of the General Assembly approved August 15, 1921 (Ga. L. 1921, p. 255), relating to the speed of motor-vehicles upon approaching or traversing intersecting highways, do not apply to intersecting streets of a city." Shannon v. Martin, 164 Ga. 872 (139 S. E. 671). In view of this decision, and upon request of counsel for the plaintiff in error, the case of Faggart v. Rowe, 33 Ga. App. 423 (126 S.
