UCF students coming back to campus in spring will see a speed limit decrease on parts of the main campus, according to an e-mail sent out by the UCF Police department.
Starting this week, roadways on Gemini Boulevard, near Greek Park, the CFE Arena and Orion Boulevard that had 35 mph speed limits will be lowered to 30 mph.
Roadways that already had speed limits under 30 mph will not be affected by the speed limit decrease.
According to UCF News and Information’s Courtney Gilmartin, UCF is looking to make the university a golf-cart community, giving more road access to faculty and staff that utilize golf carts on campus. Dropping the speed limit is one step in the process to legally allowing golf-carts on more of the main campus roads.
“The process is ongoing and subject to approval, and we will notify the campus community when everything is finalized. For now, we’re in the process of updating signage in the impacted areas and getting the word out about the changes,” Gilmartin said.
