SMYRNA, Tenn. (WSMV) - A road in Smyrna will soon see new posted speed limits following the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s widening project, the town said.
The town established the following limits to enhance safety for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists:
- 40 mph from Nissan Drive to Old Jefferson Pike
