TDOT asks city to remedy speed issue:
Now the Tennessee Department of Transportation has asked for some changes. B.J. Doughty, spokeswoman for TDOT, said it's not a "normal engineering practice" to have two different speed limits for opposite sides of the same stretch of road. Doughty said although Lewisburg Pike (U.S. 431) is a state road, the city of Franklin can set the speed limit.What about the 45 and 55 m.p.h. speed limits in different directions on T.D.O.T.'s northeast quadrant of Mack Hatcher between Cool Springs Blvd. and Franklin Road?
Anyway Ms. Doughty, if you're looking for a good laugh, I would invite you to drive around Franklin sometime to look at some of the more common "practices."
