Mayor Garcetti Signs Ordinance To Lower Speed Limits On City Streets

Mayor Eric Garcetti today held a signing ceremony for an ordinance that will lower speed limits on 177 miles of streets across Los Angeles. The bill specifically targets speed limit reductions on streets with high rates of traffic fatalities and severe injuries or heavily-trafficked pedestrian and bicycle routes. Under this framework, the locations of the streets impacted by the ordinance will see speed limit reductions consistent with the City’s Vision Zero program, which specifically designates the City’s High-Injury Network.
