Want to Change Speed Limits in Yakima?
Does traffic move too slow -- or maybe too fast -- on any of the streets you travel? Want to the speed limits changed anywhere?
For me it's Summitview Avenue. I think the limit should be raised from 30 mph to 35 mph on Summitview, starting at South 32nd Avenue as you head west.
I asked Yakima City Councilman Dave Ettl what steps I would need to take, and he told me speed limits are governed by the Public Safety and Traffic Division and that I should speak to someone in the city police department.
If you want to see the speed limit raised or lowered in your neighborhood, you can email traffic@yakimawa.gov or call 509-575-6005.
