Speed Limit Changes Approved in Two Counties

Date:

Texas Transportation Commissioners recently approved speed limit changes in two counties within the Lufkin district.

Angelina County: The speed limit on FM 1819 from SH 103 to SH 7 was approved for change from 50 miles per hour to 40 mph.

Sabine County: The speed limit on SH 184 from FM 1 to the City of Hemphill city limits was approved for change from 70 mph to 65 mph.
