The Kyle City Council recently voted to lower the speed limit along sections of Farm to Market 150 and Farm to Market 2770, Jack C. Hays Trail.
The council approved an ordinance to lower the speed limits on these roads during its Dec. 20 meeting after receiving results of a Texas Department of Transportation study. The City of Kyle said the study showed that setting new maximum speed limits would improve public safety. Additionally, speed limits on Texas highways are set by the 85th percentile method, which represents the speed a majority of drivers will travel at or below, the city added.
The new speed limit for southbound traffic on FM 2770 will decrease to 45 mph north of Bob Shelton Stadium to FM 150, while the speed limit for northbound on FM 2770 will lower to 45 mph from FM 150 to north of Bob Shelton Stadium.
