Bill > S168

This bill aims to reduce speed limits to 25 miles per hour on residential streets in Durham, North Carolina that are experiencing congestion, as determined by the City of Durham's Transportation Department. By modifying existing state law (specifically G.S. 20-141(b)(1)), the bill will make it unlawful to drive faster than 25 miles per hour on these designated congested residential streets. The legislation is specifically limited to the City of Durham and will become effective on December 1, 2025, applying to traffic offenses occurring on or after that date. The bill represents a localized effort to improve traffic safety by lowering speed limits in residential areas that have been identified as having high traffic volume or congestion, potentially reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing pedestrian safety.
