Yachats lowers approach speed limit to 35 mph; mobile speed display installed
Summary
Council President Mary Ellen O'Shaughnessy said ODOT approved lowering the speed limit to 35 mph on the approach into town and the city installed a mobile speed-display unit; she said residents have reported speeding on the bend into town.
Mary Ellen O'Shaughnessy said the city has been working on traffic calming after complaints about cars speeding into town, particularly around a bend on the approach. "ODAS approved our lowering the speed limit to 35," she said; the transcript indicates the city followed state approval processes to reduce the posted limit on the approach into town.
O'Shaughnessy also said the city installed a mobile speed-display unit that tells drivers how fast they are going and has a visible light to draw attention. She said both measures appear to be slowing drivers, though she did not present formal speed-study data during the remarks.
