State engineers have taken a look at it and decided what we'd do to alleviate some of the problems we have there by reducing it to 45 mph.

Our primary concern is the safety of the motorists and pedestrians who use the highways. As long as those signs don't provide a safety problem or distraction to motorists, we generally allow those.
Hopefully, we'll be able to get that done by the end of this week.

Hopefully, the motorists will have an impression that this is an area of concern.
