In service of safety amid a flurry of construction, the Rockwall City Council has put the brakes on speed, dropping the limit on sections of the frontage roads along Interstate 30. For those making their way eastbound and westbound, you'll need to ease off the gas pedal and cruise at a more leisurely 35 miles per hour—a full 10 mph reduction from the former limit.
The press release from the city, available on the Rockwall County official website, notes that this is not a permanent change. The lowered speed limit is kicking in "for the duration of the active construction period." And yes, change can be a headache, but patience will be more than just a virtue—it'll be a requirement until the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and local authorities give the all-clear.
Drivers should keep an eye out for those fresh signs and follow them to the letter. Kate Sitzenstatter, Rockwall's Public Information Officer, urges the traveling public to use caution, watch for construction workers and equipment, and adhere to posted signage for the safety of everyone.
