UDOT to lower speed limit at Mount Carmel Junction; Orderville cancels light parade
Summary
Board members reported UDOT will reduce speed limits at Mount Carmel Junction and Mount Carmel to 40 mph with signage expected by February; the board also canceled the town light parade due to a scheduling conflict with another community event.
Orderville board members said the Utah Department of Transportation agreed to reduce the speed limit at Mount Carmel Junction and Mount Carmel from 45 mph to 40 mph after the town requested a speed study. A board member said UDOT expects signage and implementation to be in place by February.
"They're reducing the speed limit in Mount Carmel Junction and Mount Carmel to 40 miles per hour," Speaker 1 reported during the meeting. The presenter said signage should be ready by February.
Separately, a board member announced the town will cancel its annual light parade and the companion dinner because the event would conflict with another community group's event scheduled for the same night. "I decided instead of conflicting with him this year, I would just cancel ours," Speaker 2 said, explaining the decision was to avoid scheduling competition.
The board did not take formal action on either item; the speed-limit change is an announcement of UDOT's planned adjustment and the parade cancellation is an administrative decision by town staff and board members. Residents seeking more detail about the timing of signage or any enforcement changes should contact UDOT or the town office.
