The now-approved change involves lowering the speed limit from 55 miles per hour to 45 miles per hour for a stretch between East Street and approximately 650 feet east of Willow Avenue near the Riverside Casino. The change impacts just over 2.5 miles of the road.</p><p>Riverside Mayor Allen Schneider says the changes are driven primarily by safety concerns around the Highway 218 overpass, “It’s been something that’s been talked about for quite a while on what we can do to improve the flow of traffic in that area. I think specifically around the entrance and exit ramps to Highway 218 there. When you’ve got traffic pulling out and you’ve got traffic moving at highway speeds already, you can have some pretty dicey situations. We’ve had a few accidents in that area, and I think a number of residents have reached out over the past few years as well to express their desire to see something done there. I think everybody thinks that that’s the right thing to do right now.”</p><p>The Riverside City Council signed off on a resolution approving the speed limit changes in their August 3rd meeting. The changes officially take effect once signage is changed by the Iowa DOT on the road. Schneider anticipates the changes will take place in the near future.</p></div></body>
