US 2 Speed Limit To Be Reduced

The speed limit on a section of U.S. Route 2 (Sunset Highway) will be reduced from 55 miles per hour to 45 miles per hour starting next Monday, July 28 so be aware.

The reduction will take effect as soon as the new speed limit signs are installed, from the west city limits to approximately 1,370 feet east of Flint Rd. The installation is expected to be completed Monday.

The City Council unanimously passed a resolution to lower the speed limit on that stretch of U.S. 2 on July 14. The resolution called for a more consistent speed due to increasing urban development in the area between Spokane and Airway Heights, and safety concerns on the highway.
