ArDOT studies possible speed-limit changes on two roads

Key takeaways

  • ArDOT is studying possible speed-limit changes.
  • The study covers Airport Road and Sunshine Road.
  • The study is not itself a speed-limit change.
  • The roads are in the Hot Springs area.

What is happening

The Arkansas Department of Transportation is conducting a study of possible speed-limit changes on Airport Road and Sunshine Road in Hot Springs. The development was reported by the Hot Springs Sentinel Record.

Roads under review

The study covers Airport Road and Sunshine Road. Both roads are in the Hot Springs area, and the possible change concerns their posted speed limits.

A study is a review, not a final speed-limit decision. The Arkansas Department of Transportation’s work will determine whether a change is considered for either road.

What happens next

The next step is the completion of ArDOT’s study. The agency’s findings will show whether a speed-limit change is recommended or whether the current limits remain in place.

Until a formal change is made, drivers should follow the speed limits posted on Airport Road and Sunshine Road. The study does not announce a new limit for either road.

What to watch

  • Completion of ArDOT’s study.
  • Whether ArDOT recommends a change on either road.
  • Any formal announcement of a new posted speed limit.
