As part of Milton’s 2022 Local Road Safety Plan, the city has been reviewing options to address vehicle speeds. The Milton Public Works Department and the Milton Police Department proposed a program to establish residential speed zones when requested and supported by residents of a roadway, neighborhood or subdivision.
Georgia State Code does not allow roads with speed limits of 35 miles per hour or more to be considered residential streets. Residential streets with a 25 or 30 mph speed limit can be designated and marked as a residential zone and can be radar enforceable at any speed above the speed limit.
To establish the program, the Milton City Council recently approved a change in the Code of Ordinances to designate eligible residential speed zones.
