The LA City Council approves lower speed limits on streets near 45 schools.
"This is the first installment of tactical improvements that LADOT is making this summer to enhance the safety around schools and protect school children -- the future of Los Angeles," Dan Mitchell, assistant general manager of DOT, told the panel of council members on the Transportation Committee.
Los Angeles Police Department officers will enforce the speed limit. The DOT estimates it will cost approximately $153,750 to purchase and install the signs near the schools. Funds are available within the department's budget for the expenditure. The council adopted a resolution to establish 15 mph school zone speed limits at 11 of the top 50 schools in 2016. Those speed limits were implemented as part of a pilot program.
