HB481 sets a default speed limit of 25 mph on county roads in unincorporated Shelby County subdivisions, with exceptions for engineering-approved limits, and keeps penalties consistent with existing traffic laws.
In unincorporated Shelby County, the speed limit on county roads within platted subdivisions or developments (including residential subdivisions, manufactured home communities, condominiums, and other approved subdivisions) is 25 mph by default. A different limit can be set if an engineering design or engineering study approved by the Shelby County Engineer specifies it. Violations are treated as traffic offenses with penalties provided by existing law. The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage and approval.
