Speed ​​limits are being lowered at some intersections in Phoenix. Here’s where

The Phoenix City Council voted Wednesday to lower speed limits at several intersections.

According to a City Council agenda on the vote, an engineering and traffic study found that speed limits in some locations were “less than is reasonable under existing conditions.” The council’s unanimous decision came after a recommendation from the city’s Street Transportation Department on Oct. 16.

The exact date for the speed limit change has not yet been determined, said Lauren Evans, spokesperson for the Phoenix Street Transportation Department. Evans noted that within 100 days of the City Council vote, temporary signs will be placed in affected areas to alert motorists of the change. The city also plans to post reminders on social media.

The installation will happen in phases after the signs are created, Evans said.

Below are the streets or intersections where the speed limit changes will take effect and what the differences will be.
