Speed Limits to be Reduced on some Alexandria Streets

City Manager Jim Parajon approved the board's recommendation to reduce speed limits on two streets as well as implement 15 mph school zone speed limits on five streets throughout Alexandria.

The changes include:

  • North Beauregard Street (Entire length): Reduce speed limit from 35 to 25 miles per hour and reduce the school zone speed limit from 25 to 15 mph.

  • West Braddock Road (North Beauregard Street to Quaker Lane): Reduce the speed limit from 35 to 25 miles per hour and reduce the school zone speed limit from 25 to 15 mph.

  • North Howard Street (Lynn House driveway to Braddock Road): Reduce the school zone speed limit from 25 to 15 mph.

  • Seminary Road (Kenmore Avenue to North Pickett Street): Reduce the school zone speed limit from 25 to 15 mph.

  • King Street (Radford Street to Quincy Street): Install a new 15 mph school zone speed limit.

New speed limits will be implemented in fall 2022, and the new school zone on King Street near Alexandria City High School will be implemented in 2023. School zone speed limits are typically in effect when signage lights are flashing — as students arrive and leave school. Some school zones in Alexandria already have 15 mph school zone speed limits.
