The City of Bend announced some speed limit changes last week, centered on Neff Road on the east side. The limits have been lowered, of course, and take effect at the following stretches of road:

• NE Penn Avenue / NE Neff Road – between NE Eight street and NE Eastwood Drive – from 35 mph to 25 mph
• NE Neff Road – from NE Eastwood Drive to NE Eagle Road – from 35 mph to 30 mph

The City notes that, “The new speed limit signs will have orange warning flags on top for a few weeks to call attention to the changes.” No date was posted as to when this takes effect, so I would assume immediately.
