Wouldn additional speed limit signs help to slow traffic?
Speed limit signs alone don’t necessarily slow traffic. In Seattle, the speed limit on residential streets is 25 mph and 30 mph on arterial streets unless otherwise posted. Drivers are expected to know and obey the speed limit. The City does not install speed limit signs on non-arterial streets. Speed limit signs are installed on arterial streets where the speed limit changes, and at periodic intervals along the street.
