Drivers are now expected to travel a little slower on a busy Dallas highway.
The Texas Department of Transportation has installed signs on U.S. 75 lowering speeds from 70 to 65 from Mockingbird Lane to downtown. The Dallas City Council earlier this month passed a resolution to implement lower speed limits on U.S. 75 and several other area road segments following speed studies by TxDOT.
Council member Paul Ridley said he asked TxDOT to conduct a speed study on U.S. 75/North Central Expressway after an NBC 5 news report of drivers exceeding 100 miles per hour on the highway. TxDOT increased speeds from 65 to 70 on U.S. 75 nine years ago to address congestion.
