CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to delete a January 1, 2024, sunset on a provision establishing a 25 miles per hour speed limit on a highway segment that is part of the local street system and is within land zoned for residential use.
Among other things, the Code prescribes vehicle speed limits for certain segments of highway. Currently, the speed limit is 25 miles per hour for a highway segment that is part of the local street system as designated by a local jurisdiction and approved by the State Transportation Commission and that is within land that is zoned for residential use by the governing body of an incorporated city or village under the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, unless another speed is fixed and posted.
The Code sunsets this provision on January 1, 2024. The bill would delete this sunset.
