Cheatham County lowers Oakmont Road speed limit to 25 mph
Summary
The Legislative Body voted unanimously to lower the posted speed on Oakmont Road from 40 mph to 25 mph, citing road-safety considerations; the change was approved by roll call.
Cheatham County commissioners voted July 18 to lower the speed limit on Oakmont Road from 40 miles per hour to 25 mph.
Road and Bridge brought the proposal; the motion passed by roll call with 10 votes in favor and two commissioners absent, recorded as Resolution 14 in the meeting minutes. The change will be implemented by placing the appropriate signage and updating county records.
Why it matters: The vote changes a local speed limit to address safety and traffic conditions on a county road. The minutes provide the roll-call approval but do not list a timeline for sign installation.
What’s next: Road and Bridge will install new speed signs and update official speed-limit records per the approved action.
