A portion of FM 423 that runs through Frisco now has a lower speed limit.
The Frisco Police Department announced April 15 that FM 423 south of Main Street has been lowered from 55 mph to 50 mph. Enforcement along this corridor began immediately, officials said.
The speed limit was lowered after the city requested in April 2019 the Texas Department of Transportation conduct a speed study on FM 423 south of Main Street. The resulting study found the speed limit should be lowered from 55 mph to 50 mph, according to a city statement. Frisco City Council supported that finding and adopted an ordinance, which was sent to TxDOT for processing and a new sign installation, the statement said.
On March 27 a fatal crash took place at the intersection of FM 423 and Del Webb Boulevard, a police department statement said. The collision involved three vehicles and killed two people.
