The bill H. 4341 proposes an amendment to Section 57-7-230 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which governs the construction and maintenance of speed-control devices by municipalities and counties. The key change in this bill is the increase of the posted speed limit in residential areas or school zones where these devices are installed, raising it from twenty-five miles per hour to thirty miles per hour. This adjustment aims to provide local authorities with more flexibility in managing speed limits while ensuring safety in designated areas.

Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for municipalities and counties to conduct an investigation of the area before implementing speed-control devices, which will still consist of mounds, ribs, or humps not exceeding six inches in height. Warning signs must also be erected to inform drivers of the presence of these devices. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
