Speed Limits Speed Study Procedure
As you may know, the county does not have the
authority, under Ohio law, to reduce speed limits on our roads. The
Director of The Ohio Department of Transportation is the only person
authorized to make speed changes. The Director will not consider a speed
limit reduction unless it is accompanied by a detailed study of the
conditions of the road including the physical features and the existing
use and speed of the vehicles now using the road. We will begin the
process of preparing such a study at the County level and will submit it
to the Director for his consideration. However, before the speed study
can begin and be sent to ODOT, the Clermont County Board of
Commissioners must pass a resolution. In order to demonstrate the need
for a speed study to be conducted, you must complete a petition. When
you feel that you have enough signatures, please return the petition to
our office. We will forward the completed petition, with a resolution,
to the Clermont County Commissioners Office where the Board will vote
upon your request.
We appreciate your concern. Please feel free to
contact me if you have any further questions.
