AB 43 Wrap Up

California's AB 43 significantly alters speed limit setting, shifting from a solely data-driven approach (the 85th percentile rule) to one that allows local jurisdictions to lower limits by up to 5 mph in areas with high pedestrian and cyclist activity among others. This prioritizes safety, aligning with Vision Zero goals and empowering local communities to tailor speed limits to their specific needs.
