The MUD Board is making more important updates to improve safety in Light Farms:

• The speed limit along Light Farms Way will now be uniformly set to 35 MPH – from the DNT to the Outer Loop
• A new four-way stop will be installed at the intersection of Lightcreek Lane and Forefront Avenue (near the Sage pool)

These changes will take effect starting today, Tuesday, June 24. 

These updates are based on a traffic study conducted by Lee Engineering earlier this year and are part of a broader effort by the Board to enhance safety throughout our neighborhood.

Over the past 12 months, the Board has now approved and directed the installation of:

• Five enhanced crosswalks
• A four-way stop at Light Farms Way & Cypress Creek Way
• A four-way stop at Laughlin Lane & Starlight Creek Drive
• A consistent 35 MPH speed limit along Light Farms Way
• A four-way stop at Lightcreek Lane and Forefront Avenue

These initiatives are aimed at making our streets safer for drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and all residents alike. We will continue to evaluate other needs for safety enhancements around the neighborhood.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Board HERE.
