Permitting local authorities with jurisdiction over city residence districts to reduce the maximum speed limit from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour without an engineering and traffic investigation.

HB 2220 allows cities and towns to lower speed limits to 25 mph in residential neighborhoods without first conducting an engineering and traffic study. This directly affects local governments (like city councils) that manage residential areas, streamlining their ability to implement this safety measure. The bill amends Kansas law to remove the requirement for such studies specifically for residential districts, while maintaining other existing speed limit rules. It does not change current limits below 30 mph in residential areas or affect speed limits on other road types.
