The Traffic Section works to improve the efficiency of transportation corridors and maintains the City’s traffic signals, pavement markings, residential permit parking program and street lighting program.

Slower road speeds are safer for all users, including motorists. Additionally, slower speeds promote neighborhood vitality and livability. Reducing posted speeds creates opportunities for safer street designs and supports the safe movement of people and goods.

The speed limit on all city streets is 25 mph unless a sign posts otherwise.
