Speed limit set on Second Street
Placeholder Image
Second Street from McKinley to Truman is technically a county road with the residents residing in the subdivision north of it living outside the Great Bend City Limits. However, south of the dirt thoroughfare is the new city-owned Sports Complex which draws a lot of traffic to the area.As a county road, as long as there is no posted speed limit, motorists could technically drive 55 miles per hour. There is no posting now.However, that changed Monday morning when the Barton County Commission voted to set the speed limit on the stretch at 30 mph.
