SPEED LIMIT ON 39TH AVENUE REDUCED BETWEEN 93RD AND 104TH STREETS

The speed limit on 39th Avenue between 93rd and 97th Streets has recently been reduced to 35 miles per hour (MPH) and the speed limit between Springbrook Road and 104th Streets has been reduced to 30 MPH. Signs with the new speed limits have been placed along 39th Avenue.

The slower speed limit is intended to calm traffic on this stretch of road. The lower speed limit on the northern end of the roadway also creates a better transition between the 35 MPH speed limit north of 93rd Street and the 30 MPH speed limit near the roundabout at Springbrook Road.

"One of our primary concerns with roadways is safety," explained John Steinbrink Jr., Director of Public Works. "We want to ensure that we don't create a situation where drivers come out of a four-way stop and accelerate to 45 MPH only to hit their brakes a block later as they approach the roundabout at Springbrook Road. The lower limit will create a safer stretch of road for drivers and those who live nearby."

The Village would like to thank drivers for their patience while driving and the courtesy they pay to others using the roadway. The Village would also like to encourage all drivers to plan extra time into their daily travel routines to avoid driving at unsafe speeds.
