Some Foley neighborhoods' speed limits change — what to expect
FOLEY, Ala. (WKRG) — The Foley City Council has approved a new ordinance to change the speed limits in some neighborhoods. 'Sand In My Boots Festival' prep underway — what to know ahead of the event According to a city news release, the change was made to make the speed throughout Foley more consistent. The speed limits will change in the southwest quarter of the city and on James Road, according to officials. 'It was brought to our attention in the southeast quadrant that there were some inconsistencies in some of our streets that were really no different than other streets,' Foley Executive Director for Infrastructure and Development Wayne Dyess said. 'We felt that we can go in and standardize that.' The speed limit will now be 20 miles per hour on Orange Avenue, Myrtle Avenue, Pedigo Avenue, Oak Street and Pine Street. Streets near Max Griffin Park and Sarah Thompson Kids Park, including Verbena Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue, will be 15 miles per hour. Speed on James Road near the Cottages on the Greene Subdivision will be reduced by 10 miles per hour — from 35 to 25. City officials will look at other areas to see if the speed limit needs to be adjusted elsewhere, according to the release. Baldwin County Public Schools graduation schedule 'We will continue to look at the remainder of the city,' Dyess said. 'As we grow, traffic needs and uses are impacted and changed. This, to us, makes a lot of sense. It meets the needs of that area.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
