New 20mph Signs on Local Streets Updated
Posted on Feb 1st, 2026
Update: 20mph signs on local streets citywide.
The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure began installing new 20mph signs on local streets citywide. By updating these signs and reducing the speed limit on our local streets, we want to draw attention to the broader issue of speed and help create a culture of safety in our neighborhoods, where we are more likely to see people walking and biking.
As part of our strategy moving forward, we plan to reduce the overall number of signs out now, with a focus on areas that enter local streets from our arterial streets. We will also post gateway signs as people enter Denver off the highway, stating the speed limit on local roads is 20 mph. We anticipate that removing/replacing these signs will take up to 3 years to implement, from the time we begin in full.
