SUBJECT
Adopt an Ordinance Amending the Speed Zone Tables of Section 22-86, Speeding, of Chapter 22, Motor
Vehicles and Traffic, of the City Code
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending the Speed Zone Tables
of Section 22-86, Speeding, of Chapter 22, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, of the City Code
DISCUSSION
The Transportation and Public Works Department routinely reviews the speed limits in the City Code in
order to make corrections, additions or amendments where appropriate
The requested new speed limits or adjustments result from development, school zones for new schools,
text corrections and limits/block range corrections In addition, there are speed zone changes requested
by the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) due to the results of completed speed surveys. The
City of Fort Worth must adopt the TXDOT speed limits for enforcement by Fort Worth Police Officers
The Texas Motor Vehicle Laws specify the procedures for establishing speed zones and posted speed
limits These procedures are used by all municipalities within the State of Texas. The recommendations in
the ordinance are based on Traffic Engineering Studies, in accordance with the Texas Motor Vehicle
Laws, performed by either City staff or TXDOT
The attached proposed ordinance incorporates the above and amends the Speed Zone Tables of Section
22-86, Speeding, of Chapter 22, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, of the City Code, by making certain additions
and deletions recommended by the Department of Transportation and Public Works
