1 TEXAS TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION V ARlO US Counties MINUTE ORDER Page 1 of 1 VARIOUS Districts Transportation Code, establishes prima facie reasonable and prudent speed limits for various categories of public roads, streets and highways. Transportation Code, empowers the Texas Transportation Commission (commission) to alter those prima facie limits on any part of the state highway system as determined from the results of an engineering and traffic investigation conducted according to the procedures adopted by the commission. The Texas Department of Transportation (department) has conducted the prescribed engineering and traffic investigations to determine reasonable and safe prima facie maximum speed limits for those segments of the state highway system shown in Exhibits A and B. Exhibit A lists construction speed zones in effect when signs are displayed within construction projects. The completion and/or acceptance of each project shall cancel the provision of this minute order applying to said project and any remaining construction speed zone signs shall be removed. Exhibit B lists speed zones for sections of highways where engineering and traffic investigations justify the need to alter the speeds. It has also been determined that the speed limit on a segment of the state highway system, previously established by the commission by minute order and listed in Exhibit C, is no longer necessary or has been incorporated by the city which has the authority to set the speed limit on this section of the highway. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED by the commission that the reasonable and safe prima facie maximum speed limits determined in accordance with the department's "Procedures for Establishing Speed Zones" and shown on the attached Exhibits A and B are declared as tabulated in those exhibits. The executive director is directed to implement this order for control and enforcement purposes by the erection of appropriate signs showing the prima facie maximum speed limits. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a provision of any prior order by the commission which is in conflict with a provision of this order is superseded to the extent of that conflict, and that the portion of the minute order establishing the speed zone shown on the attached Exhibit Cis canceled. Executive Director DEC 15 r I Minute Number Date Passed
