Annapolis Lowers Speed Limit on Forest Drive to Enhance Safety
Annapolis is set to lower the speed limit on Forest Drive from 40 to 35 mph as part of a $10 million initiative to improve road safety. This decision follows a 2023 safety study that identified over 500 crashes on the road over five years. The plan includes enhancing crosswalks, bus stops, and traffic signals to reduce accidents. The speed limit change is the first step in a broader strategy to address the road's safety issues, which have been a longstanding concern for residents and local officials.
