PHILADELPHIA, Miss.–If you plan to attend the Neshoba County Fair, you should expect to encounter speed bumps just south of the fairgrounds on County Rd. 414, near Gate 4.
Sheriff Eric Clark says the speed bumps are a temporary measure to protect people walking in the area.
“Over the past several years, the Sheriff’s Office has received multiple complaints regarding traffic flow and vehicle speeds near the cabins constructed adjacent to the Fairgrounds. In addition, pedestrian traffic has increased significantly on the roadway east of Gate 4 during the Fair season, creating safety concerns for residents and visitors,” read a post from the Sheriff’s Office.
Clark said that once the fair is done the speed bumps will be removed.
“As the Fair approaches, motorists are encouraged to use caution, reduce their speed, and remain alert for pedestrians, especially small children, who may be present in and around the roadway,” read the post.
