Resident asks for speed bumps on CR 4841; court says county lacks authority, will request directed patrols
Summary
Tiffany Moore told the Commissioners' Court drivers use CR 4841 as a dangerous cut‑through and asked for speed bumps; the court said speed bumps are considered roadway obstructions and lack county authority to install them, but Commissioner Lambert will request directed patrols.
Resident Tiffany Moore told the court she has lived on CR 4841 for six years and that drivers are treating the road like a racetrack; she asked the court to install speed bumps in residential areas to slow traffic. The court explained it lacks authority to install speed bumps, with Commissioners' Court Attorney Thomas Aaberg describing speed bumps as an obstruction on the roadway.
Commissioner Danny Lambert said he would request directed patrols to address the problem but cautioned Moore that deputies are unlikely to be present daily because of limited resources. The record shows the court received the complaint and provided a direction (request patrols) rather than authorizing physical traffic-calming devices.
