Speed Limit Increased on Section of Loop 49

TYLER – The Northeast Texas Regional Mobility Authority has decided to raise speed limits on Tyler’s Toll Loop 49 will rise to 75 mph from Texas 155 to Interstate 20. Authority Director Everett Owen said, “It won’t be effective till we get the signs made and posted.” That will probably occur in a matter of weeks. Owen citing driver complaints of getting stuck behind slow moving vehicles on the one-lane highway, also set minimum speeds 10mph lower for that segment and from Texas 110 to Texas 155.
