New Speed Limit Law Slows Marin’s Crowded Streets

There’s no need for speed on Marin County’s crowded streets. A new California state law gives cities power to reduce speed limits by 5 miles per hour in areas with a high concentration of businesses, pedestrians and cyclists. “Cities know their streets best,” says Warren Wells of the supporting Marin County Bicycle Coalition, “which, again, keeps everybody safer, not just bicyclists.”
