Henrico is lowering speed limits on more than 50 roads. Is your street on the list?

County leaders said they are making the changes "following a comprehensive speed study" to "ensure posted speed limits align with roadway function, surrounding land use and the safety needs of all users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorists."

The speed reductions will be made in phases over the next six months to a year.

The new 25 mph roads primarily serve neighborhoods, have narrow widths and are heavily used. These roads serve local traffic and may also have sidewalks and bike lanes.
