The Chautauqua County Board of Commissioners will look at methods to slow down drivers on the county's rural roads.

Local resident Marvin Jenkinson stopped by the county meeting Thursday to share his concerns with the current speed limit, which is a blanket 55 mph for all rural roads. That speed, according to Jenkinson, creates several safety issues for those living along the roads.

Commissioners David Deal and Parker Massey responded positively to the resident's suggestion, saying they would look into it over the next few weeks. Commissioner Rodney Shaw was not in attendance at the meeting, with both Deal and Massey expressing their interest in getting his input before moving forward.
