Laredo Engineering Department to install speed tables on Prada Machin Dr.

LAREDO, Tx (KGNS) - A traffic alert in south Laredo could hinder your commute for the next few weeks.

The City of Laredo Engineering Department will start the process of installing speed tables along Prada Machin Drive.

This will start on Monday, Nov. 20 and it will last for about 30 days.

Local resident Jesus Villarreal who lives near the area said he welcomes these changes due to safety concerns.

“People around here are driving very fast. They play with the cars, you know what I mean? I pay attention and I see a lot of rollovers--to the animals, the cats and the dogs,” said Villarreal.

Crews will install five speed tables at different locations along Prada Machin Drive.

Motorists and pedestrians are advised to avoid the construction and take alternate routes to get to your destination.
