Council okays removal of school speed-zone signs where schools are inactive
Summary
Council approved an ordinance allowing TaxDOT to remove school speed-zone signage at non-active school sites and agreed the signs must be reinstalled if the school returns; members noted removal carries no cost to the city.
Council members discussed an ordinance authorizing TaxDOT to remove school-speed-zone signage for areas where schools are no longer active. Members asked whether removal changes the ordinance's effect and noted that enforcement depends on sign placement; staff explained when signs are removed the posted speed reverts to the regular speed limit until signs are restored.
Members noted the removal work would be no cost to the city and that signs must be reinstalled to restore a school zone if a school reopens within two years. The council voted to approve the ordinance unanimously.
