Cooke County lowers speed limit on County Road 140 to 35 mph after brief hearing
Summary
After a brief public hearing, the Cooke County Commissioners Court approved reducing the speed limit on County Road 140 (from CR 167 to FM 678 in Precinct 1) to 35 mph at the request of a resident, citing gravel surface and shallow curves.
The Cooke County Commissioners Court opened a public hearing on a request to reduce the speed limit on the entire length of County Road 140 in Precinct 1 (from County Road 167 to FM 678) to 35 mph and closed the hearing shortly thereafter. Commissioners cited concerns about gravel surface, shallow S-shaped curves, and recent subdivision activity as reasons to lower the limit.
Commissioner Hollowell said the change was requested by a resident and described the road conditions and new development activity. "It's a gravel road. There's some shallow S curves and we're getting some subdivision stuff," Hollowell said, and moved to approve the change. The court approved the motion 5–0.
Next steps: county road and bridge staff will implement signage and any required notifications following the court's decision.
