Drivers exiting U.S. 23/74 onto Asheville Highway will need to pay closer attention to speedometers as they head into Sylva, as the speed limit could soon drop by 10 mph. Currently the speed limit is 45 mph from 23/74 for about a mile, when a 35 mph zone starts in front of Sav-Mor. Sylva leaders received documents from the NCDOT last week, to repeal the 45 mph speed limit and implement the 35 mph zone.
