LAHARPE — Motorists will need to tap their breaks when driving through residential areas.
LaHarpe City Council members revamped the city’s speed limit, cutting it to 20 mph in all residential areas.
Many of the streets are too narrow to accommodate the old 30 mph limit, Council members agreed.
Meanwhile, the speed limit in LaHarpe’s downtown business district, which has been 20 mph all along, will remain so from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, but will be lifted to 30 mph outside regular business hours.
Council members also voted to add a crosswalk spanning Main Street, near where students load into school buses each day.
