NORTHBOROUGH – The Traffic Safety Committee is conducting a survey on speed limits.
In 2016, Gov. Charlie Baker signed the Acts of 2016, which includes a section to allow municipalities to opt-in to reduce “the statutory speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph on any or all city- or -town-owned roadways within a thickly settled or business district,” according to the survey.
A statutory speed limit exists in the absence of special speed regulations and official posted speed limits. Eight-five municipalities have implemented a speed reduction.
All of the surveys should be completed by Feb. 7. Paper copies can be returned to the Northborough Free Library, Senior Center or DPW Office in Town Hall.
