The Montgomery County Sheriffs Office (MCSO) takes advantage of incorrect speed limits on Lake Woodlands Drive and Woodlands Parkway every month and issues hundreds of speeding tickets to motorists.
The MCSO takes advantage of certain sections of roadway that are covered by a state funded program (STEP) where the MCSO will get operating costs refunded. It is very frustrating to see SO's sitting in medians taking advantage of incorrect speed limits to get money from the state rather than patrolling or monitoring all the other known traffic hazards in The Woodlands Special District.
Lake Woodlands Drive and Woodlands Parkway have evolved through the years from small sections of roadway to major thoroughfares in The Woodlands Special District.
Recently Mr Ed Chance, Commissioner Precinct 4, has changed the speed limit on Gosling Road from 35 MPH to 45 MPH. The MCSO no longer kills grass in the median waiting for speeders since Gosling Road is now at the proper speed limit. Mr Chance has the authority to perform traffic studies on both Lake Woodlands Drive and Woodlands Parkway to either determine the speed limit stays the same, goes up or goes down.
What can you do to help?
Please forward this email to Commissioner Chance and Sheriff Gage.

Commissioner Chance: Please perform a traffic study on Lake Woodlands Drive between Grogan's Mill Road and Gosling Road with the ultimate goal of raising the speed limit to 45 MPH. Please also perform a traffic study on Woodlands Parkway between I45 and Kuykendahl with the ultimate goal of raising the speed limit to 55 MPH.
Sheriff Gage: Please discontinue patrolling & ticketing motorists on Lake Woodlands Drive and Woodlands Parkway under the STEP program until Mr Chance has performed a traffic study.
I would like an email response acknowledging the receipt of this email.
Thank You,
Concerned Resident of The Woodlands Special District and or Montgomery County.
