Share Your Feedback on Speeding in Louisville

Vison Zero

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

What are your concerns about speeding in Louisville? Where do you think speeding is a problem? What are your ideas for solutions to manage speeds and reduce speeding?

Vison Zero Louisville is developing a Speed Management Plan to guide its Safer Speeds strategic approach. This may mean modernizing how speed limits are set, developing projects to calm traffic, changing speed limits, and educating drivers.

Our community's Speed Management Plan is a multifaceted and balanced effort that includes defining the relationship between speed, speeding, and safety. We are studying current conditions, including crash data, driver trends, and roadway design, as well as evaluating best practices from other Vision Zero cities.

Please click below to complete a brief survey. Your feedback will be used to help inform recommendations in the Speed Management Plan.
