Summary
Speed limits are established under Arizona Revised Statues, section 28-703, which requires an "engineering study and traffic investigation." The Phoenix City Code and Charter require that all local speed limits on City streets be approved by City Council in the form of an amendment to Phoenix City Code (Attachment A).
The Street Transportation Department (Streets) is recommending speed limit changes at five locations (Attachment B). As with all recommended speed limit changes, these five speed limit changes were based on traffic investigations conducted with the engineering judgment of Streets staff or are newly constructed streets.
