This bill authorizes municipalities to change a speed limit on a single road or section of road without assuming responsibility for setting or managing speed limits on all roads within the municipality and reduce posted speed limits by up to 10 miles per hour in business, residential, compact and growth areas to no lower than 20 miles per hour and to make physical changes to a road in those areas to promote better compliance with posted speed limits. The bill also requires a municipality that has changed a speed limit to review any safety deficiencies, seek public input and report to the Legislature for a period of 5 years data on before and after motor vehicle speeds, pedestrian counts and bicycle counts.
