County commissioners voted to reduce the speed limit after a deadly crash on an Oklahoma County road.
The change will impact a three-mile stretch.
Harrah Road between Memorial Road and Britton Road will now have a 45-mph speed limit, down from 55. During the discussion on Monday, one commissioner said it was needed because of the road’s condition, but they’re already preparing for negative feedback.
"If you intend for that to be enforced, I would coordinate with the sheriff to be camping out there because that will not be something they are accustomed to," said Brian Maughan, District 2 County Commissioner.
Maughan said people in Harrah and nearby towns likely won’t be happy with the change. He said commissioners would consider raising the speed limit if the road gets repaired.
The county will be responsible for changing the speed limit signs.
