Two solar feedback signs will be placed near Hills, alerting drivers to the speed their vehicle is traveling as it enters the city limits.
The signs, which flash the speed of the approaching vehicle on a display board, are similar to the solar feedback signs located along County Road 4 through Magnolia.
In Hills one feedback sign will be located west of town on County Road 13 just before vehicles cross over the bridge as they enter town.
The other sign will be located on the east side of Hills along County Road 6 to alert drivers about their speed entering the city limits from the south.
Cost of the signs is $11,163 and will be paid for by the county.
According to county engineer Mark Sehr, the Hills City Council requested the signs due to concerns that drivers are entering the city at speeds exceeding the limits.
