Priceville council adopts 25 mph limit for residential subdivisions
Summary
The Priceville City Council adopted Ordinance 20 26-11 to establish a 25 mph speed limit in residential subdivisions, a measure the council said includes signage and enforcement provisions. The motion was made by Councilman Dean and passed on a roll call vote.
The Priceville City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 20 26-11, establishing a 25 mile-per-hour speed limit for residential subdivisions.
Councilman Dean moved to suspend the rules, then moved to adopt the ordinance; both motions were seconded and approved on a roll call. "An ordinance of the city of Priceville establishing a 25 mile per hour speed limit for residential subdivisions generally, subject to stated exceptions, providing for signs and enforcement," Councilman Dean read during the motion.
Council members who answered during the roll call voted in favor. The ordinance text as read by the mover includes provisions for signage and enforcement and provides an effective date, though the meeting transcript did not record the exact effective date announced on the floor.
The council described the change as a uniform residential speed standard intended to improve safety and to simplify enforcement across subdivisions. Implementation details such as signage locations and enforcement start dates were not specified during the floor discussion.
The ordinance will be published as adopted and the council did not schedule additional related hearings at the meeting's close.
