This ordinance would set the speed limit on State Highway 286 between Lipan Street and Interstate 37, raise it on U.S. Highway 181 between Interstate 37 and Beach Avenue, and lower it on State Highway 361 from Park Road 22 to Mariners Drive. It would also remove from the city code the portions of state highway that were demolished during the Harbor Bridge Project.

Ask which speed limits change in highway speed ordinance

Why now: The ordinance (File 26-1471) was passed on first reading on the consent agenda on 2026-10-27 with no recorded discussion, and second reading is listed for 2026-11-10, covering SH286, US 181 and SH361 plus removal of highway portions demolished during the Harbor Bridge Project.

What to do: Get the ordinance text and ask city staff and the state transportation department for the old and new speed limits on each segment. The title says one limit is raised and one is reduced, but the record gives no numbers or reasons, so readers can't tell who is affected.

Act before: After the requested records are produced

Check new speed limits on your highway commute

Applies if: You drive or live along US 181, SH361 or SH286 near the Harbor Bridge area

Why now: The ordinance on the 2026-11-10 second reading agenda increases the US 181 limit, reduces the SH361 limit, sets an SH286 limit between Lipan Street and Interstate 37, and provides for penalty.

What to do: Look up which posted limits change on US 181 (Interstate 37 to Beach Avenue) and SH361 (Park Road 22 to Mariners Drive) before the second reading. Speeds rise on one stretch and fall on the other, and the ordinance provides for a penalty, so the new limits will be enforceable.

Act before: After the 2026-11-10 second reading
