Ordinance Establishing Speed Limits During
Construction for CIP's Beltline Road E/W
and Denton Tap Road
Attached is documentation that the City of Carrollton has established by Ordinance,
30 MPH speed limit for their portion of Beltline Road from Elm Fork Easterly. It
is staff's recommendation that we do likewise for our portion of the Project.
Attached is the necessary Ordinance for taking this action.
Taking this action provides continuity of speed enforcement throughout the Project
from MacArthur Blvd. easterly and since the Project will last longer than one and
a half years, it is advisable to take this action.
The Ordinance also includes the two current projects on Denton Tap Road. That
is, from the intersection of Beltline E/W and Beltline N/S to the northerly most
terminus at Denton Creek. Previously, we have enforced speed control using
the warning signs only. Adopting this Ordinance will maintain enforcement.
As you know, the contract for Beltline E/W from MacArthur to Josey Lane was
awarded to Austin Paving Company on March 6, 1989 and is scheduled to be
completed by October, 1990.
Being concerned with the safety of the traveling public, our citizens, and the
workmen on the project, we are requesting that the existing speed limit be
lowered to 30 MPH along the construction project limits for the entire duration
of the contract time.

Speed Limits for construction zones.
Dear Mr. Doyle:
We have no objections to including the subject projects in an
ordinance which would set 30 MPH as a speed limit within the
construction project limits. If a resolution and ordinance to
this effect are approved by the city Council please provide us
a copy for the Contractor and one for our project files.
Please call me if you have any questions.

SUBJECT:
Belt Line Road Paving and Drainage Improvements
I35E to McArthur Blvd.
COMMENTS:
The above referenced project is a Dallas County Public
Works project which consists of improving Belt Line Road from
the existing two lane asphalt roadway to a six-lane divided
concrete thoroughfare. The contract was awarded to Austin
Paving Company on March 6, 1989 and should be completed by
October 1990.
Being concerned with the safety of the traveling public,
our citizens, and the workmen on the project, we are
requesting that the existing speed limit (which varies from
forty miles per hour to fifty miles per hour) be lowered to
thirty miles per hour along the construction project limits
for the entire duration of the contract time.
The Director of Transportation has the authority under
the Traffic Chapter Section 20-18 to temporarily reduce the
speed limit in a construction zone for ninety days. Due to
the estimated two (2) year construction period, this speed
limit is being brought for City Council approval.
DESIRED ACTION:
Approve the attached ordinance that reduces the existing
speed limit along west Belt Line Road from North/South I35E
to the west City Limit line to thirty miles per hour during
construction of this project.
