The Board of County Commissioners, Orange County, has approved a measure to decrease the speed limit on Raeford Road. This change will affect the section of Raeford Road between Bumby Avenue and Conway Gardens Road. The speed limit will be lowered from 30 mph to 25 mph. This item is now approved, meaning the speed limit change is official. While this is a regulatory change, it may lead to future needs for traffic calming measures or signage updates. Local contractors and suppliers involved in traffic control, signage installation, and potentially road marking could see opportunities arise from this decision as the new speed limit is implemented. Early engagement with the county or relevant departments could provide insight into the timeline and specific requirements for this change.
