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.
