Speed limits are set by state law at 30 miles per hour on all city streets unless warranted by a Traffic and Engineering Study
Lower speed limits are justified without a study when in:
school zones
construction zones
Speed limits must be established by city ordinance if different than the prima facie speed (30 miles per hour)
Possible Speed Problems
Follow these steps if you think there is a possible speed problem:
Call the Police Department at 281-471-3810
If the problem seems to be widespread, the Police Department will request a speed study by the Public Works Department
The speed study will be performed using state-of-the-art traffic counters which determine the speed, time, and direction of travel of all vehicles using the street
A printout of the study will be returned to the Police Department to determine the times enforcement should be concentrated
