Tempe streets have evolved over the decades; becoming more multi-modal with significant changes to the land use and development adjacent to them. Help the City explore changes to speed limits on seven roadways that aim to match the function of the roadway and better reflect the current character of these corridors. The streets being explored include: Broadway, Guadalupe, Miller and McKellips roads, Priest Drive, Roosevelt Street and Veterans Way/Fifth Street.
