Transportation officials recommended lowering the speed limit after doing a study following a resident’s complaint.
In the study, the following factors were considered:
Road surface characteristics, shoulder conditions, grade, alignment and sight distance.
Roadside development, culture and roadside friction.
Safe speed for curves or hazardous locations.
Commissioners are meeting at 9 a.m. on Tuesday.
