The city’s announcement said this change is another step toward creating safer streets for everyone. “The citywide speed limit reduction is part of Ithaca’s broader commitment to improving transportation safety,” the announcement said. “Lower vehicle speeds can help reduce the severity of crashes and create safer conditions for people walking, biking, and living in neighborhoods throughout the city.”As the new 25 mph limit only applies to city streets impacted by citywide policy, state-owned roads may remain at higher speed limits.The new speed limit will officially take effect as the city installs 116 new speed limit signs. The announcement said residents and visitors should be on the lookout for new signs and modify their driving speeds as more signs are put up. City crews will begin installing speed limit signs the week of Sept. 21. “Ithaca’s streets are shared spaces, and reducing the citywide speed limit is an important step toward making those spaces safer and more welcoming for everyone,” Scott Gibson, acting superintendent of public works, said. “This fall, as the new signs are installed throughout the City, we are asking drivers to slow down, pay attention, and help us build a culture of safer, more considerate travel. A few miles per hour can make a meaningful difference when it comes to preventing crashes and protecting the people who walk, bike and live in our neighborhoods.”</div></body>
