Speed Limit Reduced to 25 MPH on 3rd Ave. NW

A couple years ago Seattle passed an ordinance to lower speed limits on arterials.  Unless posted differently arterial speed limit is 25 MPH.  It has taken a while to change the signs on arterials around town, but recently the signs on 3rd Ave. NW changed from 30 MPH to 25 MPH.

Neighbors near 3rd Ave. NW have urged lower speed limits, for pedestrian safety, so this is a step toward that.  

We will need to adjust our “auto pilot” speed when we drive on 3rd Ave. NW.
