Relating to the authority of a municipality to alter speed limits.
SB 2725 allows Texas municipalities to set lower speed limits (minimum 25 mph) on non-state highways within residential districts without requiring an engineering study. It requires cities to post specific signage at district entrances rather than every block and mandates annual reports comparing traffic citations, warnings, and speed-related collisions for affected roads. The bill directly affects city governments and residents in neighborhoods where speed limits are adjusted. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and requires cities to publish these reports online annually.
