The letter discusses the importance of lowering speed limits to enhance safety for pedestrians and cyclists. It argues that speed limits reflect societal values regarding road safety and that even small reductions in speed limits can lead to positive changes in driving behavior. The author emphasizes the need for infrastructure changes to support lower speed limits and notes that compliance with speed limits can be influenced by the behavior of individual drivers. The letter is signed by Jordan Moldow, Chair of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
Key points
Lowering speed limits can reduce the gap between speeding and fatal speeds.
Speed limits convey societal values about the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.
If speed limits decrease but actual speeds do not, infrastructure changes are necessary.
A single compliant driver can influence others to obey speed limits.
Even a 5mph reduction in speed limits can lead to some decrease in actual speeds.
Limitations
The document does not specify the context or recipient of the letter.
There are unresolved placeholders in the text, such as the date and specific details about the matter file.

6/15/26, 4:13 PM Inbox - Agendadesk - Outlook Speed kills. Whether the vehicle was illegally speeding is irrelevant: getting hit at 40mph will do the same amount of damage regardless of the posted limit. By lowering speed limits, we close the gap between "speeding" and "fatal speeds". Speed limits convey values. The less excessive the speed limit, the more we convey that pedestrians and cyclists have a right to be present on the road and the right to get around safely. If speed limits decrease but speeds stay the same, it is a strong signal that physical infrastructure changes are needed to slow the actual speeds. Future redesigns will have a design speed that matches the lower limit. On a one-lane road or a crowded two-lane road, you just need a single driver to willingly obey the speed limit, and then every car behind them will be forced to also obey the speed limit. Studies show that decreasing limits by 5mph will not likely lead to actual speeds decreasing by 5mph, but they will lead to some decrease. Every decrease in speed helps, and lowering the limits is a quick win. Thanks, Jordan Moldow (speaking on my own behalf) Chair, Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (for...
