Cities including Minneapolis, New Brighton and Richfield have changed speed limits on their roads, but driver habits are tough to break with signs alone.
Cities including Minneapolis, New Brighton and Richfield have changed speed limits on their roads, but driver habits are tough to break with signs alone.
The 5 mph decrease in speed limits on residential streets took effect in June, when Richfield joined other metro-area cities, from Minneapolis and St. Paul to Bloomington, Victoria and New Brighton, pushing drivers to slow down. Now Farmington is also considering changes; this month its City Council asked staff to look into the cost of studying the southern suburb’s speed limits.
