Bill > H4349

This bill allows the city of Boston to set a speed limit of 20 miles per hour on public roads located in areas that are densely populated or are business districts, as defined by existing law, and also permits a speed limit of 15 miles per hour within school zones, unless a different speed limit is officially posted. This authority overrides any conflicting general or special laws or regulations, and it applies to all public roads managed by the city of Boston. The bill takes effect immediately upon its passage.
