The speed limit on Rio Grande is kept low because the cart path on that road is especially narrow and difficult to drive with the storm drains at the curb. The speed limits on major roads are kept at 35 because LSVs can drive on roads with limits of 35 or below. If they are raised to 40 or more, LSVs could not use them. With the mix of vehicles we have in TV, I believe it is more of a safety issue than a revenue issue.
