Editorial. Speed Limits. 3 Reasons Speed Limits Should be Under Local Control.

Ft. Worth Star Telegram editorial lays out 3 reasons speed limits should be controlled locally and not by Austin lawmakers:

  • If the state lowers the default residential speed limit, there will be no funding for additional patrols
  • The city would benefit from assessing street safety to determine appropriate speeds
  • The city can already lower the speed limit itself, so why is a Ft. Worth citycouncil member pushing this idea?
