You may have to drive slower on these 77 L.A. streets

More than 177 miles of Los Angeles city streets could soon have lower speed limits. The city council’s transportation committee approved a plan Tuesday to ask people to drive slower on 77 different stretches around the city.

The plan, which still needs to be approved by the full L.A. City Council, is based on a report by the L.A. Department of Transportation. LADOT targeted streets that were affected by an old law that caused speed limits to creep up for decades, regardless of pedestrian safety or accident concerns. But a new law that went into effect this year allows cities to make changes and reduce speed limits.

Many of the affected street segments (see the full list below) are areas where the city has seen the most traffic deaths and severe accidents.

Once the ordinance is approved and signed by the mayor, officials will begin replacing street signs and notifying the police department of the new limits to be enforced. LADOT estimates manufacturing the new signs will cost about $52,000. The department said it aims to get the work done within a month of final approval.

Drivers going more than 10 mph over the new posted speed limit will only be given warning citations for the first 30 days, according to LADOT.
