Have a safe drive: Go 25

In August 2024, the City reduced speed limits on local streets to 25 miles per hour, unless posted otherwise.

Driving slower is good for you and your neighbors. This change makes neighborhood roads safer by reducing the likelihood of crashes and injuries from crashes. It also increases safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

The City was able to make this change to local streets after the state legislature granted cities the authority to change speed limits on roadways within their systems in 2019. Prior to that, the Department of Transportation was solely responsible for establishing speed limits on roadways in Minnesota. 

Speed limits were also updated on larger roads in Bloomington except for those operated by Hennepin County. Counties were not granted the same permissions to set speed limits by the state.

Watch for these new speed limits, which are now being enforced, and have a safe drive.
