Proposed 20 MPH Zone Changes in Pinecrest

The Village of Pinecrest is considering a proposal to reduce speed limits on certain residential streets to 20 miles per hour (MPH). This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance neighborhood safety, reduce cut-through traffic, and support a more walkable, livable community.

Why 20 MPH?

Studies show that lowering speed limits in residential areas can significantly reduce the risk of severe injury or death in traffic incidents. Pinecrest’s 20 MPH proposal aligns with national Vision Zero principles and feedback from residents who have expressed concerns about speeding in neighborhoods.

Key benefits of a 20 MPH zone include:

• Safer conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, and families

• Reduced traffic noise and cut-through driving

• Enhanced quality of life and neighborhood character

What Streets Are Affected?

The proposed change would apply to local residential streets that are not major collector or arterial roads. A final map of impacted streets will be shared during the public engagement period.

By working together, we can create safer, calmer, and more connected neighborhoods for everyone.
