SPEED LIMIT REDUCTION STUDY

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Exempts municipalities with a population of less than 20,000 from language providing that upon receipt of an engineering study for the part or zone of highway in question from the county engineer, and notwithstanding any other provision of law, the county board of a county may determine and declare by ordinance a reduction in the maximum speed limit at any place or along any part or zone of a county highway whenever the county board, in its sole discretion, determines that the reduction in the maximum speed limit is reasonable and safe.
