• Speeding can have deadly consequences for pedestrians and cyclists. Research shows that lowering the speed limit can improve safety outcomes for the local community.

• Lower speed limits benefit all road users and help everyone get where they need to go safely. While lower speed limits increase the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, it also improves safety outcomes for motorists by increasing their reaction time, increasing their stopping distance, and lowering their chances of causing harm.

• Lowering the speed limit of residential neighborhoods is a cost-effective way to improve the walkability and accessibility of neighborhoods without exorbitant infrastructure changes.
