Residents petition for 25 mph speed limit on Lake Anne Road; commissioners acknowledge petition
Summary
The board received a petition asking for a 25 mph speed limit on Lake Anne Road; commissioners said the petition bears signatures from residents and discussed referring the request, but the transcript does not record a formal vote.
The Cannon County Board of Commissioners on July 10 heard a petition from residents requesting a 25 mph speed limit on Lake Anne Road.
The Chair described Lake Anne Road as a short local road where residents report drivers “fly down through there.” The Chair said the packet included signatures from residents on the road, and that the county’s usual procedure is to collect signatures from all affected residents before changing a speed limit.
“Everybody should be referred to a 25 mile or 3 limit on Lake Ann Road,” the Chair said, noting the resident signatures. The transcript does not record a motion, vote or formal action to change the posted limit; it records the presentation and the petition’s supporting signatures.
The board did not specify next steps, a timeline, or an implementing ordinance or order during the recorded discussion. No traffic study results, enforcement plans, or estimated cost information were included in the transcript.
