SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Speed limit in residence districts; local authority; penalty. Authorizes the governing body of any city to reduce the default speed limit on any highway maintained by the city that is located in a residence district to less than 25 miles per hour unless otherwise indicated by a sign and to adopt increased penalties for operation of a motor vehicle 15 miles per hour or more above the posted speed limit in a residence district. Current law authorizes the increased penalties in the Cities of Falls Church and Manassas. The bill clarifies that the requirement for signage for a conviction of a speeding violation does not apply to ordinances adopted setting a default speed limit as provided in the bill.
