[Talk-us-massachusetts] Boston speed limit too Re: [Talk-us] Michigan speed limit changes coming soon

[Andy Anderson]

You’re talking about this, right?

https://www.boston.com/cars/cars/2016/11/30/slow-down-boston-speed-limit-change-takes-effect-in-jan

“The City Council on Wednesday finalized a measure to reduce Boston’s default speed limit from 30 to 25 mph on Jan. 9.”

Out here in Western Mass we don’t necessarily hear about these things in the big city, so a little more detail is helpful.

Hey, Michigan folks, keep an eye out for some speed limit changes.... [1]

We have a different change hitting Boston as of this last week -- the
statutory limit on *UNSIGNED* roads/streets in Boston has changed.

Statutory limit had been the state's 30mph (thickly settled or
business district).

One might presume since this changes only unsigned speed, we haven't
entered it, so nothing to change.
But how is a router to know ?
