Summary
At its March 10 meeting, the Lincoln Parish Public Works Committee approved speed limits for Water Tank Road: 45 mph from La. Highway 3061 to Fourth Street and 35 mph from Fourth Street to La. Highway 146, following a staff survey and unanimous vote.
The Lincoln Parish Public Works Committee voted March 10 to set new speed limits on Water Tank Road in Ruston after a staff speed survey recommended stepped limits for different segments.
Kevin Klepzig, the parish Director of Operations, presented the survey and recommended that the speed limit be set at 45 miles per hour from La. Highway 3061 to the intersection with Fourth Street and at 35 miles per hour from Fourth Street to the intersection of La. Highway 146. T.J. Cranford moved to adopt the recommendation; Dan Lord seconded the motion. The motion carried with the following votes recorded: YEAS: Williams, Lord, Cranford, Melton, and Richards.
Committee members said the change reflected road characteristics and the survey findings. The action was taken during the Committee’s March 10 meeting at the Police Jury Meeting Room, 100 West Texas Avenue, Ruston. Implementation steps (signing and posting) were not detailed in the meeting record and were not specified in the transcript.
