Speed Limit Lowered on Brunswick County Road

​SUNSET BEACH –The speed limit for a section of Seaside Road in Brunswick County was reduced recently for safety.

More than 2 miles of the road between U.S. 17 and Old Georgetown Road was lowered from 55 mph to 45 mph. The N.C. Department of Transportation installed new signs last week.

After a citizen inquired, the department investigated the roadway and its crashes and based on federal guidelines, determined a reduced speed was warranted to improve safety.
