3. Can the city change the speed limit?

Under state law the city can change speed limits (to not more than 60 or less than 20 mph) on non-state highways. the city must perform an engineering study to post any speed other than the maximum speed of 25 mph within the city.

Changing the speed limit does not always change how fast people drive. A FHWA study found that a 6 mile per hour change in posted speed limit only changes the driven speed by 1.5 mph.

Request for speed limit changes may be submitted to the Mayor’s Traffic Safety Committee for review by contacting jhannahs@marysvillewa.gov or bdonaldson@marysvillewa.gov.

4. What are the schedules for Flashing School Beacons?

The beacons are programmed to flash based on published school district schedules and account for early release days and times. The program is set for one half hour before the final bell and for one half hour after release. If students in two different age groups use the same school zone, both of the school start and end times will be programmed to flash.

2) the U.S. Postal Service where couriers are blocked from delivery for the community mail boxes on public roads;

3) When requested by the official Homeowners Association of a neighborhood.
