T.C. Oates Lane, Whitlow Way and Sports Capital Crossing may have some new signage coming their way to guide drivers.
Round Rock officials gave the first of two required approvals to add these streets to the ordinance limiting Harrell Parkway inside Old Settlers Park to 25 mph Jan. 12. If the second approval is granted at an upcoming council meeting, those streets will receive official signage noting the new speed limit.
Round Rock Police Department Chief Alan Banks said those signs could include flashing speed signs like the ones already present on Harrell Parkway, the main north-south route through the park.
"We also have to take into consideration that a lot of folks that come up are from out of town," Banks said. "So we will continue to work on enforcement out there."
Round Rock Transportation Director Gary Hudder said the adjustment to the speed zone is not as simple as choosing to change it. He said there are regulatory measures and steps required to be taken before officially changing them, which the city has done by conducting traffic studies.
"In a review of some of the safety issues out of the park, we have recognized that some of these streets, other than Harold Parkway, were never appropriately brought to Council for consideration," he said.
