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 amendment specifically increases the maximum posted speed limit in residential areas or school zones where these devices are installed from twenty-five miles per hour to thirty miles per hour. This change aims to provide local authorities with greater flexibility in managing speed limits in areas where speed-control devices, such as mounds or humps, are deemed necessary based on an investigation of the area.

Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for warning signs to be erected in areas where speed-control devices are present. The proposed changes are intended to enhance road safety while accommodating the needs of local jurisdictions in regulating traffic speeds. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
