OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING
DOCKET NUMBER 09-24-IPMA
The Director of the Department of Transportation, pursuant to the authority in sections 3, 5(3), and 6 of the Department of Transportation Establishment Act of 2002, effective May 21, 2002 (D.C. Law 14-137; D.C. Official Code §§ 50-921.02, 50-921.04(3) and 50-921.05), and sections 6(a)(1), 6(a)(6) and 6(b) of the District of Columbia Traffic Act, approved March 3, 1925 (43 Stat. 1121; D.C. Official Code § 50-2201.03(a)(1), (a)(6) and (b)), hereby gives notice of the intent to amend Chapters 40 and 22 of the Vehicle and Traffic Regulations (18 DCMR). The proposed rulemaking would reduce the speed limit from 30 to 25 miles per hour (mph) on Blagden Avenue, N.W., between 16th and Allison Streets, N.W., in both directions of travel. This would be accomplished by removing this location from the list of locations in Section 4011 of Chapter 40, where the speed limit is 30 mph. The maximum speed limit then would become 25 mph in accordance with Section 2200.6 of Chapter 22.
Final rulemaking action shall be taken in not less than thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this notice in the D.C. Register.
The following rulemaking action is proposed:
Title 18 DCMR, Section 4011, SPEED LIMITS, Subsection 4011.2 is amended as follows:
4011.2 No person shall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than thirty miles per hour (30 mph) on the streets listed in this subsection.
[See 18 DCMR 4000.3.]
All persons interested in commenting on the subject matter in this proposed rulemaking action may file comments in writing, not later than thirty (30) days after the publication of this notice in the D.C. Register, with the District Department of Transportation, Infrastructure Project Management Administration, 64 New York Avenue, N.E., 1st Floor, Washington, D.C. 20002 (Attention: Docket No. 09-24-IPMA). Copies of this proposal are available, at cost, by writing to the above address.
