Towns may establish speed limits for town roads under their jurisdiction without conducting an engineering and traffic investigation, exempting the requirement previously in state law.

Speed limit changes must be implemented in a consistent and understandable manner with appropriate signage displaying the new limits.

Cities and towns must develop procedures for setting speed limits based on safety, engineering, and traffic analysis that considers national urban speed limit guidance, local traffic crashes, and public communication methods.

The authority does not apply to city streets, county highways, or trunk highways within town or city jurisdictions.
