It’s spring, and there is more daylight at the end of our day; regardless of the extended light speed limits still apply, they aren’t merely a suggestion. Miller County Judge Cathy Harden Harrison offers these guidelines. Speed limits aren’t a “suggestion”; they are the law.
It’s a beautiful day in Miller County. Recently there have been many complaints of speeding on multiple county roads. Most Miller County Roads have marked speed limits. However, if they aren’t, they are 40 MPH. Here’s the Arkansas Statute concerning speed limits on county roadways. Hope this helps.
