Concord wants to reduce speed limits on these 20 city streets.

(KRON) -- The Concord City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to move forward with an ordinance to reduce speed limits on 20 city streets.

The decision is supported by data from a citywide engineering and traffic survey led by Concord's Transportation Division. The survey "evaluated speeds, collision data, and roadway conditions to ensure that posted limits reflect actual traffic patterns — and remain legally enforceable," said the city council.

Concord police plan to increase their number of traffic officers to help support the new limits.

“Speed limits must be both safe and enforceable,” said Concord Mayor Carlyn Obringer in a statement. “This update ensures that our posted limits reflect real-world conditions while prioritizing the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike.”
