JASPER, Tenn. – Speed limits in some of Jasper’s residential areas could be changing soon.
At the November meeting of the Jasper Board of Mayor and Aldermen, Mayor Paul Evans said all speed limits in the town are 30 mph unless posted differently.
He asked if the board would consider changing that to 15 mph.
“We’ve got streets up in Gamble Subdivision that should not be 30 miles per hour,” Evans said.
City Attorney Mark Raines said some of those speed limit standards were established in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of Transportation years ago.
