In 1989 the developer, Marcus Enterprises was required to post the speed limit – because there were no County guidelines/ordinances it was determined a 15mph rural limit. US 340 did not exist at that time.
Cloverdale roads are private roads, the Declaration does not address a speed limit. WV Department of Transportation does not address a speed limit in a county subdivision.
