Bullitt County directs attorney to draft resolution to lower Buckman Street speed limit to 25 mph
Summary
Fiscal Court voted unanimously on July 15 to have the county attorney prepare a resolution lowering the speed limit on Buckman Street from Highway 44 to the Salt River Bridge to 25 mph, citing safety concerns in Shepherdsville.
Bullitt County Fiscal Court on July 15 voted unanimously to direct the County Attorney to draft a resolution to lower the speed limit on Buckman Street from Highway 44 to the Salt River Bridge to 25 miles per hour.
Why it matters: the change, if adopted, would alter traffic enforcement and speed limits on a stretch of road in the City of Shepherdsville and is intended to address safety concerns raised by the judge.
Judge/Executive Jerrall Summers said the City of Shepherdsville was attracting attention on Buckman Street and expressed a desire to decrease the speed limit for safety reasons. On a motion by Judge Summers, seconded by Magistrate Shaun Logsdon, the court agreed to have the County Attorney draw up a resolution to set the speed limit at 25 mph on the specified segment. The motion passed unanimously. The transcript records only the direction to draft a resolution; adoption of the resolution would require a future formal action by the court or by the appropriate traffic authority when the resolution is presented.
