Relating to the process of establishing speed limits on a highway or road near a prekindergarten.
This bill requires local governments and the Texas Transportation Commission to hold annual public hearings upon request to consider lowering speed limits near schools. It directly affects prekindergartens, elementary/secondary schools, charter schools, and universities, as well as county commissioners courts and city governing bodies. The key provision sets a default 20 mph speed limit on roads within 500 feet of these educational facilities (unless a major thoroughfare is designated), and mandates public hearings before implementing such changes. The bill establishes a formal process for reviewing speed limits, rather than setting specific limits directly.
