Traffic Speed Study Survey

  • Traffic Speed Study Survey

    The City seeks resident feedback on proposed changes to local speed limits.

  • We are seeking input from the public on proposed changes to local speed limits. A public comment period is open until May 31. Input on the recommendations can be provided via the survey below.

    The City Council will be considering this topic again on May 18, 2026 at 6:30 p.m.

    The results of the City's Traffic Study were presented to the City Council on Monday, May 4, 2026 (link to YouTube). The study (link to study) evaluated existing speed limits by considering traffic speed and volume, roadway characteristics, crash history, pedestrian and bicycle activity, and on-street parking.

    Key findings show low crash history on City roads and that lower posted speed limits do not translate to commuters driving slower.

    Please provide your feedback on the following questions below.

    Note: Where “residential roads” are referenced, these are current 20 mph and 25 mph roads under the City’s jurisdiction. Warrenville Road, Batavia, Williams, and Galusha would not be included in this category.

     

  • 1. Should the City standardize all local residential roads under City jurisdiction to 25 mph? (Some roads are currently 20 mph)
  • 2. Should the City change the speed limit on the City's section of Williams Road (currently 30 mph), which is a .4 mile stretch of roadway, north of Batavia Road (currently 35 mph), to match the existing 35 mph speed limit on the rest of Williams Road?

  • Possible Future Goals

    Changing speed limits alone does not change driver behavior. Reducing the speed limits may require changes to the roadways (construction) or increased education and enforcement by Police. With that in mind, please consider the following questions: 

  • 3. The standard residential speed limits in Warrenville should be 20 mph instead of 25 mph.
  • Should be Empty:
