Erath County sets County Road 386 speed limit at 45 mph after public hearing
Summary
Following a public hearing and discussion, the Erath County Commissioners Court voted to set the posted speed limit on County Road 386 at 45 miles per hour for consistency across the roadway.
After a public hearing with no members of the public speaking on the item, the Erath County Commissioners Court voted to set the speed limit on County Road 386 at 45 miles per hour for consistency where the road crosses FM 8.
Commissioner Ray told the court he preferred 45 mph “because that would be consistent all the way across FM 8.” The court’s presiding officer said the order could be revised before it is signed if the commissioners preferred 40 mph in a different segment; the court approved an order to place the posted speed at 45 mph.
Why this matters: the posted speed will determine enforcement and signage along County Road 386 and was adopted to maintain consistency at a crossing with FM 8.
