This slower speed zone was added when the new fire house was built, a safety issue for emergency equipment entering the highway. If you are paying attention to your driving, you can see the sign, Obey and you have no problem. Having lived in this area, I have witnessed numerous accidents, due to speeding vehicles. More than one ended in the death of a local citizen, the offending party was not local. Don't like our speed limits? Pick another route, it is that easy.

Good for local but someone passing through give a verbal warning also put up more speed limit signs not just one as you come in to town
