Portland Pushes for 20mph Streets | Portland Maine News
Description
Portland’s pushing to slash speed limits to 20 mph across the peninsula under the “20 is Plenty” campaign, aiming to slash pedestrian crashes and save lives — part of a broader Vision Zero effort to eliminate traffic deaths. With over 400 pedestrian crashes and 25 fatalities in Maine last year, advocates say slower speeds are the simplest, most effective fix. But since Maine DOT sets state-wide limits, Portland must petition for local control — and prove the change meets safety standards through data and engineering studies.
