Fort Worth drivers face new digital speed limits

Digital speed-limit signs are now lighting up I‑35W in Fort Worth, changing the way we drive during bad weather, traffic jams, or accidents.

It’s a direct response to the tragic 2021 pileup, aiming to make our roads safer and more adaptable. The limits are fully enforceable, so when you see a new number on the sign, that’s the law.
