City Of St. Louis Park: Citywide Speed Limit Reductions Debut This Fall

Press release from the City of St. Louis Park:

October 10, 2021

This year, to support safer streets, the city will be adjusting speed limits on city streets. The city’s default speed limit will be 20 miles per hour on local residential streets with higher speed limits on busier roads.

Slower speed limits promote a mobility system that prioritizes walking first, then bicycling and transit, and then motor vehicle use. Lower traffic speeds reduce the likelihood of a crash and make all types of crashes less likely to lead to death or a life-changing injury.

Implementation of new speed limits will take place in the coming months. Sign up for email and text updates, as well as learn more about speed limits and traffic safety, on the speed limits page.
