"As for Streetsblog L.A., we share a YouTube Shorts account, but you can also view their work Bluesky, Instagram, and Facebook in addition to TikTok. Now that we're doing this post for two Streetsblogs, we're going to do the videos in chronological order. On Monday, Streetsblog L.A. posted scenes from Sunday's CicLAvia open streets event, which celebrated the 15th anniversary of the first CicLAvia in 2010. Streetsblog California also posted on Monday, a video celebrating the passage of legislation making it easier for schools to get speed limits lowered on adjacent streets."
"Yesterday, Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 382 to make it a little safer for those same kids It lowers the default speed limit in school zones from 25 mph to 20 mph. Until January 1, 2031, local authorities may adopt 20 mph school zone limits. After that date, 20 mph becomes the standard with conditions (e.g. children present signs, posted hours) built in. It also allows 15 mph limits in residential streets near schools under certain circumstances. This law aims to reduce accidents and protect students on foot. Slower speeds give drivers more time to reactespecially around schools. Local governments will need to update signage and enforce the new limits."
Streetsblog L.A. shared footage from CicLAvia celebrating the 15th anniversary of the first event in 2010. Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 382 lowering default school-zone speed limits from 25 mph to 20 mph and allowing local authorities to adopt 20 mph limits until January 1, 2031, after which 20 mph becomes the standard with conditions such as 'children present' signs and posted hours. The law permits 15 mph limits on residential streets near schools under certain circumstances. Additional laws increase camera use on highways to protect workers and at intersections to improve safety. Local governments must update signage and enforce new limits.
