The Daily Record WOOSTER — Starting Tuesday, the speed limit on portions of Milltown Road and Sylvan Road was reduced to 45 mph. The speed limits on Milltown Road between Oak Hill and Mechanicsburg Road on the north side of Wooster, and Sylvan Road between Hillcrest and Sylvan’s dead-end on the east side of Wooster changed to 45 mph. The speed limit had been 55 mph. The changes are a result of a study conducted by the Wayne County Engineer’s Office. “The study examined several factors, including road width, hills and curves, average daily traffic count, accident history, as well the number of houses and businesses along the road,” said Traffic Safety Supervisor Brock Yoder of the Engineer’s Office. “The State of Ohio has minimum guidelines that dictate the permitted speed along all sections of roadway on the township, county, and state routes.”
