Please Note:
• The City of Mineral Wells, as a practice, does NOT install speed bumps on city streets.
• The City of Mineral Wells does NOT install stop signs to control speed.
• Multiway stop intersections will be considered:
o If there is a need to control vehicle / pedestrian conflicts near locations that
generate high pedestrian volumes.
o At locations where a driver, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not
able to reasonably safely negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic
is also required to stop.
o In areas where volume on two streets is equal and placement of multiway stop
control would improve the operational traffic characteristics of the intersection.
• Where there is no speed limit posted on a street, the Prima Facie speed limit as
stated in the Texas Transportation Code Section 545.352 applies.
Speeding is an enforcement issue. Studies show that the most effective tool to curtail speed
violators is active law enforcement. Should you observe habitual speed violators in your
neighborhood, it is recommended you contact the police department. Information relating to
vehicle description, time of day, direction of travel, and license plate number is very useful for the
police in prioritizing limited manpower and resources.
