Speed limits; municipal enforcement of speed limits within a municipality's police jurisdiction authorized

This bill would allow municipal police officers in Alabama to enforce speed limits in areas they have jurisdiction over, even if those areas are outside the city's official borders. Currently, local police can only enforce speed limits within the corporate limits of their municipality, but this change would extend their authority to cover the broader police jurisdiction. The law would not alter existing speed limit numbers or enforcement procedures, only expanding the geographic area where local officers have the power to enforce them. This change affects municipalities that have police jurisdiction extending beyond their city limits, giving them more flexibility in managing traffic safety in surrounding areas.
