Chief William Mull presented discussion on Speed Zone Maps from Texas Department
of Transportation. He stated it is TxDOT's recommendation to leave the speed limit at
the frontage roads on the east and west side at 55 miles. The City will need to pass an
ordinance enacting the new speed limits into law. A survey was performed that listed
the number of wrecks, speed of vehicles and based on the survey it is recommended
that the speed limit stay at 55 miles per hour.
Chief Mull stated he has written to TxDOT expressing concern regarding speed signs at
the exit ramps within the City due to the two-way traffic. He has not heard back from
them. By general consent it was agreed that when the letter is transmitted to TxDOT
regarding the speed limit at 55 miles per hour that it also state that the Council
recommends that the exit ramps be posted with some type of signage indicating the
speed limit of 55 mile per hour on the frontage roads.
There being no further business, Mayor Anderson adjourned the meeting at 12:06 p.m.
