Test 3

Bylaw subcommittee backs possible speed limits reductions

NORTH ATTLEBORO - You may soon have to be a little lighter on the right pedal of your car if town councilors follow the recommendation of the bylaw subcommittee.

The subcommittee voted 3-to-1 with one abstention to favorably recommend acceptance of Mass General Law Section 17C which would potentially allow speed limits in certain neighborhoods to be reduced from 30 miles-per-hour to 25-mile-per-hour without having to petition the state.

The item will be on the agenda when the town council meets Wednesday at 7 p.m. at town hall. The meeting will be cablecast live on North TV's Government Channel: Comcast channel 98 and Verizon channel 23.
