This statute went into effect August 1, 2019. Staff had received <br />multiple concerns related to the speeds on 125th Street and had reviewed the roadway. The <br />speed limit along 125th Street from Goodview Avenue to County Road 7 was currently not <br />posted and therefore defaulted as a 55 MPH roadway. Staff had concluded that the roadway <br />should be posted. The action necessary to lower the speed limit would be to adopt the <br />resolution identifying the speed limit along 125th Street from Goodview Avenue to Hilo <br />Avenue as 40 MPH, 125th Street from Hilo Avenue to County Road 7 as 30 MPH, with the <br />curve between Homestead and County Road 7 posted with 25 MPH advisory speed limit. The <br />recommended speed limits had been determined based on the vertical and horizontal geometrics <br />of the existing roadway. A speed limit adopted would not be effective unless the road authority <br />passed a resolution and erected signs designating the speed limit on which the speed limit <br />applied.
