Overview 

Arterial Speed Limits are established by the City Council, guided by recommendations from City staff. City staff use engineering studies as well as Federal and State guidelines to recommend appropriate speed limits.

In conducting speed limit studies, engineers typically review the 85th percentile speed (the speed at which 85% of traffic is traveling at or below) and other factors such as:

  • Number of Lanes
  • Roadway characteristics
  • Grade
  • Alignment
  • Sight distance
  • On street parking
  • Pedestrian and bicycle activity
  • Driveway and intersection spacing
  • Collisions
  • Traffic volumes
  • Roadside development and lighting

Enforcement

Shoreline Police works with Traffic Services staff to identify problem areas. Traffic Staff uses data collected from the traffic count program to identify areas where speeding exists (see the Speed Differential Map linked below) and collaborates with Police in reviewing collision data for the Annual Traffic Report.

If you would like to report a speeding problem to Shoreline Police you can submit your comments via web form.

Or call the non-emergency phone line at (206) 296-3311

If you are concerned about speeding in your neighborhood, you can also take advantage of our Driver Education and Awareness Programs.
