Drivers traveling some of the back roads in Bledsoe County, Tenn., will see new speed-limit signs on eight stretches of blacktop in mountainous areas.
The Bledsoe County Commission recently set speed limits on five county roads off state Route 101 and lowered the speed limit on two others south of state Highway 30 on the west side of the county.
County Road Superintendent Marvin Smith said new signs are being posted on all affected roads.
The roads assigned a speed limit of 30 mph are Cedar Road, Dogwood Road, Holly Drive, Pine Road and Poplar Road, all just southeast of 101. A new four-way stop was installed at the intersection of Old Highway 28 and Nine Mile Crossroads.
Smith said the speed limit on 3.6 miles of Simmons Road, between Old Spencer Highway and Griffith Road, will be lowered from 45 mph to 35 mph.
