Mayor Eric Garcetti Monday signed into law recommendations from the Department of Transportation to reduce speeds by 5 mph on more than 177 miles of city streets.
the City Council unanimously approved the proposalThe change, which is aimed at preventing deadly accidents, was made possible following the passage of Assembly Bill 43, which took effect this year, giving cities more control over their speed limits. Before the new law went into effect, LADOT was required to increase speeds on 200 miles of the city’s streets.
Most of the changes will drop speed limits to 40 mph and lower. Two exceptions are Glenoaks Boulevard between Osborne Street and Hollywood Way and Palisades Dr between Avenida de Santa Ynez and Sunset Bl, where the proposed speed limit is 45 mph. An LADOT report noted that 28 of the street segments targeted for speed reduction are on the Vision Zero High Injury Network, where the highest concentrations of traffic deaths and severe injuries occur.
