Saint Paul and Minneapolis have lowered speeds on city-owned streets. Lower traffic speeds reduce the likelihood of a crash and make a crash less likely to lead to death or a life-changing injury.  A person hit at 35 mph is three times more likely to die than someone hit at 25 mph.

New speed limits are 20 mph for local residential streets. Saint Paul and Minneapolis have installed new “gateway signs” at entry points in both cities, indicating the citywide speed limit is 20 mph unless otherwise posted. Speed limits may be 25 mph for larger, arterial and collector city-owned streets; and 30-plus mph for a few city-owned streets.  Always follow all posted speed limits.

Visit the city's speed limits page for more information.
