RE: SPEED LIMIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OLD SETTLERS PARK
NAi_`NG'
The City of Round Rock Transportation Department has evaluated the posted speed limits inside Old
Settlers Park. The purpose of the evaluation was to ensure proper speed limits are in place within all
areas of the park, and to encourage uniformity and avoid driver confusion with many and varied speed
limits within the park.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Table 1 identifies existing posted speed limits and segments that are currently listed in the City Code of
Ordinances.
Location Posted speed Code Of
limit Ordinance
Harrell Parkway 25 MPH 25 MPH
Aten Loop 25 MPH 25 MPH
TC Oates Lane 25 MPH None
Whitlow Way None None
Sports Capital Crossing None None
Table 1: Existing posted speed limits
RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Roadways within the park site are generally connector roadways and access aisles to parking lots that
would normally be considered drive-aisles. Based on the roadway characteristics and the abundance of
pedestrians within the park,the Transportation department recommends a consistent speed limit of 25
miles per hour for these drive-aisles and roadways. Signs on segments that are not currently posted will
be installed after the revision of the ordinance.
