GPS Navigation System providers such as Garmin, Google, etc. have increasingly been showing Marion County Road # 422 (Paris Gravel Road) as the main throughfare through Hannibal. This has caused safety concerns for the residents of Marion County as well as drivers along Paris Gravel Road. In an effort to discourage this, the Marion County Commission passed an ordinance June 8th, 2026, calling for the reduction of the speed limit to 35 MPH as well as prohibition of commercial vehicles (GVWR of 26,001 pounds). All agricultural licensed vehicles are exempt from the weight limit restrictions. Updated road signage has been ordered and will be placed in the near future.
