TEMPE, AZ — Tempe officials are considering changing the speed limit on four different roadways in the city.

Public meetings for input were held in may, and the public comments will be presented to the city council on Thursday.
If given the go ahead, two more public hearings will be held and changes would be implemented 30 days after the second hearing.The speed limit would be reduced from 45 to 35 miles per hour at the north end to match the speed limit on the bridge over Tempe Town Lake. The speed limit would also be reduced from 40 to 35 miles per hour from south of University Drive to Broadway Road.The speed limit would be dropped from 35 to 30 miles per hour from the north city limit to Curry Road.
