Item Summary:
s
This ordinance is presented for City Council consideration and approval to re-establish all Reduced School Speed
Limit Zones within the City of Round Rock. The Reduced School Speed Limit Zones active during the previous school
year were repealed by the Council at the May 10th, 2012 Council Meeting by an ordinance that became active after
June 4th, 2012-the week after the end of the school year.
The new proposed Reduced School Speed Limit Zones to be re-established will create consistent times and lengths
and have been coordinated with the Round Rock Independent School District and the Texas Department of
Transportation. The purpose of the proposed Reduced School Speed Limit Zones is to protect elementary and
middle school age children where they are expected to cross City collectors or arterials; or to create a heightened
awareness in drivers on streets adjacent to elementary or middle school grounds. I
The attached list of Reduced School Speed Limit Zones describes the locations, activation times, lengths, and
reduced speed limit of each proposed zone. The attached maps illustrate the previous zones that will be re-
established with no changes as well as those that will be eliminated or re-established with some adjustment to the
limits of the zone.
