The Los Angeles City Council’s Transportation Committee on Tuesday, Feb. 15, advanced a proposal from the Department of Transportation to reduce speeds by 5 mph on more than 177 miles of city streets.
The change, which is aimed at preventing deadly accidents, was made possible following the passage of Assembly Bill 43, which took effect this year, giving cities more control over their speed limits. It was introduced by Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, D-Glendale. Before the new law went into effect, LADOT was required to increase speeds on 200 miles of the city’s streets. According to the department, a pedestrian hit by a vehicle going 20 mph has a 90% change of surviving, but the chance shrinks to only 10% if a vehicle is going 40 mph.
