Navigating Middle School - November 15 Parenting Teens - January 15 Cyber Education - February 12 More Information Davenport Speed Limit 40 MPH
Please notice and obey the new 40 mph Davenport speed limit signs, as well as all other speed limits on Highway 1. This is a dangerous road and the decreased speed limit is a direct response to accidents in the area. Please do your part to improve safety. All speed limits are actively enforced by local local enforcement officials. Also, please drive slowly and cautiously on Ocean St. when dropping your student off in the morning - there are a lot of kids and people around!
