City of Pasco - Updated Speed Limits on Key Corridors

In alignment with ongoing efforts to enhance road safety and community well-being, the City of Pasco announces an update to speed limits on two corridors to ensure safer travel for all road users. New speed regulations will be introduced on West Court Street and Sylvester Street. 

• West Court Street: The segment between Road 96 and Harris Road will see a revised speed limit of 25 MPH to address safety concerns related to high pedestrian and bicycle traffic, particularly as this area connects to the Sacajawea Heritage Trail system. 
  
  
• Sylvester Street: Speed limits will be adjusted to 30 MPH between Road 54 and 20th Avenue, reflecting changes from recent safety enhancements and infrastructure improvements. 
  ​
  

The decision comes after comprehensive traffic studies by licensed traffic engineers, taking into consideration road geometry, traffic volume, speed patterns, and community feedback. These changes aim to match the evolving needs of our community and promote a safer environment. 
 
New speed limit signs, flagged as "NEW SPEED," will be installed on Friday, January 31st.
