TIGARD Ore. (KPTV) - The Oregon Department of Transportation will be lowing the speed limit for a 1-mile stretch of Southwest Hall Boulevard through the Metzger neighborhood next week, they announced Thursday. As the first in a series of safety improvements, ODOT said the speed limit will be reduced from 40 to 30 miles-per-hour between 92nd Avenue and Pfaffle Street. Crews will start posting new signs early next week and the limit will go into effect once the work is finished. ODOT said this stretch of road has seen more than 180 crashes from 2016 to 2021, and included one fatal crash, one bicycle crash and one pedestrian crash.
