Rt. 213 is now 25 MPH from "Bridge to Bridge" in Centreville!

Speeding traffic has long been an issue on Rt. 213 in Centreville.  Over the past 1.5 years, the Town Council has worked with SHA representatives to reduce the speed limits on Rt. 213 in Centreville.  We worked with SHA to implement traffic calming measures and as a result of those, the 85th percentile speeds along North & South Commerce, and North and South Liberty Streets have come down enough to facilitate the updated speed limits.

SHA has also proposed additional traffic calming measures, involving line striping and streetscaping to further reduce speeds.  They are not well funded, so they will begin with the line striping in the next few weeks.  The streetscaping will be done as funds are available.

Our police officers have already begun the public awareness campaign to alert drivers to the new speed limit

While speeding will continue to be an issue, we are hopeful that continued enforcement, along with traffic calming measures will help to keep speeds along Rt. 213 at safe levels.

In the next few weeks, updated lane-striping will be painted which will further call attention to the efforts to keep speeds low in this residential and business area.

REMEMBER: Slow Down, Drive Safe!
