Allow local governments to set speed limits on gravel roads

Introduced in the House

Jan. 30, 2007

Introduced by Rep. John Stakoe (R-44)

To allow local governments to establish speed limits on gravel or dirt roads that are lower than the state "prima facie" speed limit, which is determined according to how many residences are on the road, regardless of whether or not it is paved. Note: On Nov. 9, 2006 a new law went into effect raising this state "prima facie" speed limit on dirt and gravel roads. Before then many of these roads had lower limits.

Referred to the Committee on Transportation
