“Hey, Jo, What is the process of getting the speed changed/lowered on my road?”

A good starting point would be to gather your information first, it can be helpful to have support from neighbors and other residents. Community petitions can show that there is a wider need or concern.

Next, take your information to our Lewis County Highway Comissioner Kerry Cagle 931-796-2287 or Lewis County Sheriff’s Office 931-796-5096.

After your request explaining safety concerns or reasons for the change. The county may conduct a traffic study to assess factors like traffic volume, current speeds, and accident history, and if the study supports your request, local officials or TDOT may approve the new speed limit and install updated signs.

Until next time...Stay curious and keep smiling. -Jo
