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 Ch~inance 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 5, 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.
