Selma council adopts resolutions asking NCDOT to lower speeds on US‑301 and Anderson Street
Summary
Council unanimously adopted two resolutions asking NCDOT to reduce posted speeds on US‑301 and Anderson Street after members cited crash history and community concerns; the town will forward both requests to the state agency for review.
Council discussed problem locations and asked staff to prepare formal requests to the state. The item initiating the US‑301 reduction referenced crash history near a commercial area and asked NCDOT to consider reducing the speed to 35 through the identified stretch; council moved and adopted the resolution.
