Speed limits are substantially reduced in construction areas on and off roadways. This is to ensure the safety of both motorists and construction crews. When approaching a construction zone, look for posted signage (similar to the picture above), which will specify the speed limit of that particular area. A typical speed reduction is ten mph or more below the road's regular speed limit.
To report a missing speed limit sign, please call the Public Works Traffic Division at (817) 748-8370 from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please provide a specific address or the appropriate cross streets when reporting an issue.
City Council has approved speed limits throughout the City of Southlake. The existing speed limits have been codified into the City's Code of Ordinances. Chapter 18, "Traffic and Vehicles" of the Code of Ordinances, details the maximum reasonable and prudent speed for travel upon any street or highway within the city. Please refer to sections 18-78 and 18-79 for speeds on specific roads and highways.
