City of Henderson
Citizens Traffic Advisory Board (CTAB) meeting

After a lengthy hearing this evening, the CTAB reversed their prior decision to reduce the speed limits on Sun City Anthem Drive and Anthem Parkway (The loop) thus clearing the way for 45 MPH signs to replace the temporary 35 MPH signs that have been in place during their study. However, it was stated that if any person challenges the decision, the next step is for the City Council to consider the subject at a regularly scheduled meeting.

The extensive radar studies before and during the temporary reduction showed virtually no change in average speeds of vehicles traveling the loop. The range was from 49 to 51 MPH.

The City's survey forms were included as inserts in newsletters to Anthem Highlands, Solera at Anthem, and Sun City Anthem. The tabulated results are:

  Anthem
Highlands
Solera at
Anthem
Sun City
Anthem
Total % of Total
45 MPH 171 223 1,335 1,729 71.7
40 MPH 4 10 59 73 3.0
35 MPH 23 65 521 609 25.3

Don't those percentages look close to those in my February 2005 online survey? That was derided as being unscientific—too small a sampling, captive audience, etc. That survey resulted in 66% for 45 MPH and 34% for 35 MPH.

Golf Carts and Low Speed/Neighborhood Electric Vehicles

Some tricky differentiations here. In spite of what we have been told, Nevada law permits Golf Carts on streets with posted speeds of 45 MPH! Low Speed/ Neighborhood Electric Vehicles are only permitted on streets with posted speeds of 35 MPH and below. Before you set out on Anthem Parkway, the Nevada DMV provides information regarding these vehicles at: http://www.dmvnv.com/lowspeed.htm
