Speed Limit Ordinances Nearly Complete

The Marshall County Commissioners will be reviewing two speed limit ordinances at their upcoming November meeting.

County Attorney Jim Clevenger told the commissioners this week that he’s still working on an ordinance that would reduce the speed limit on 10B Road adjacent to Ancilla College. It was suggested to lower the speed limit to 35 mph on that road for the safety of students who walk along the road by the Lake House. Clevenger is still researching the distance to include in the ordinance.

He said the speed limit ordinance on Hickory Road is complete, but he will present the ordinance when the other one is complete so both can be reviewed at the same time. The speed limit will be reduced to 45 mph in the area around the Hickory Road bridge as the new design of the bridge replacement project doesn’t allow for the higher speed in that area.
