Speed Limit Changes Coming to Three Ranlo Neighborhoods

Speed limit changes are coming to three Ranlo neighborhoods.

The speed limit will be reduced to 15 MPH throughout Mountain View, Woodside, and Spencer Heights following approval by the Town of Ranlo Board of Commissioners.

What to expect: Public Works crews have begun marking locations for new speed limit signs with white paint. At the direction of the Board of Commissioners, signs will be placed every 300 feet to ensure compliance with duly posted signage and ordinance. Residents may notice these markings in yards and along roadways as crews prepare for installation.

Important exception: Mitchem Road, from Spencer Mountain Road to Sapphire Drive, will remain 35 MPH because it is owned and maintained by NCDOT.

Thank you to our neighborhood HOAs, residents, Police Department, Public Works crews, and Board of Commissioners for working together to improve traffic safety.

Please stay alert and follow posted speed limits.
