Push to lower speed limits in Houston neighborhoods could save lives
Research proves a small change in the speed limit could save thousands of lives. Houstonโs Super Neighborhood Alliance and the Greater Houston Coalition for Complete Streets have teamed to help push two bills that would reduce the speed limit in residential neighborhoods. One is House Bill 442 sponsored by Texas House Representative Celia Israel, to lower the speed limit in residential areas to 25 mph in Texas cities. AdโSomeone in Houston dies in a crash every other day, and three people experience life-altering injuries every day,โ said Handy. In fact, this week Killgore, Peterzen and Mayor Turner will have a virtual meeting about the effort in reducing the speed limit in Houston neighborhoods.
