Highway 29 Speed Limits Corrected After News Story

April 20, 2009

A 55 mph speed limit between Cantonment and Molino has been corrected to 65 mph following a NorthEscambia.com story last week that reported that signs installed on Highway 29 were incorrect.

The speed limit on Highway 29 had been lowered on the north side of Cantonment, and a NorthEscambia.com story published last week led traffic engineers to realize that a 65 mph speed zone was gone due to a missing sign near Neal Roard in Cantonment and an incorrect sign near Barrineau Park Road.

Transfield Services, a company contracted to install speed limit signs for the Florida Department of Transportation, corrected the signs after being contacted by NorthEscambia.com.

The 45 mph speed zone was expanded north to near the intersection of Harvest Hill Drive near Cantonment Building Materials.The 55 mph speed zone was moved north to near Neal Road.

From near Neal Road north, the speed limit remains at 65 mph to Molino, just as it has since 1996, Speights said.

The speed limit changes includes both the northbound and southbound lanes.

    As of 4 pm today the sign was still 55 mph north bound out of Cantonment at Neal Rd. Must have forgotten one!
