Committee examines East Washington Street speed limit and signage
Summary
Committee members reviewed a memorandum on East Washington Street's default speed limit and discussed potential effects on existing corridor signage, including a 25 mph curve advisory sign and a speed-feedback sign near Howard Hanna; the item remains active on the Council agenda.
Committee members reviewed a memorandum on East Washington Street and discussed whether the relevant default speed limit should be changed. The discussion focused on downstream effects for corridor signage.
Members noted that if the street were designated at 25 miles per hour, the current curve advisory sign posted at 25 mph would be redundant as a speed-limit marker, though a simple "curve ahead" warning sign could remain appropriate. The committee also noted a speed-feedback sign near Howard Hanna operating in connection with the school zone.
The memorandum and discussion were noted as active on the Village Council agenda for potential further action; committee members did not take a formal vote at the Safety Committee meeting and asked staff to carry the item forward to the Council as needed.
