Bill overview
This bill modifies the Michigan Vehicle Code to clarify how speed limits on county highways and local roads can be determined. It allows local entities like county road commissions and township boards to petition for changes to speed limits, potentially without requiring a full traffic study in some cases. The bill also outlines procedures for posting speed limit signs and establishes that speed limits must be based on traffic engineering practices and the eighty-fifth percentile speed of traffic.
