Other parts of Texas like Temple, San Antonio, and Eastland County have been using these for years. Here is what you need to know on your next trip in Fort Worth.
The best example I can give for these is a posted construction speed limit. When you enter a construction zone, you follow the posted speed limit on the orange sign. These new variable speed limit signs will be a permanent installation and will adjust a speed limit in real time to prevent accidents.
Above is an example of a sign installed in Virginia. Basically severe weather or an accident will cause the speed limit to change on the sign at most up to ten miles per hour. 65 miles per hour, becomes a 55 miles per hour sign if ice is on the road for example. Signs are being installed like this right now on I-35W just outside of downtown Fort Worth.
A big reason for these signs going up in this area is back in 2021 when black ice was on the roads people were driving the speed limit when they should have been driving slower. These signs have been tested throughout the country and accidents do go down when they reduce speeds.
House Bill 1885 was signed back in 2023 to help get these variable speed limit signs installed on Texas highways. Don’t be shocked if you start seeing more and more installed in the coming years. Some are concerned this is way for Texas to setup speed traps, but the author of the bill said it was to help save people’s lives. Not generate revenue for Texas.
