Two traffic changes are coming to the Downtown Edmond area: No right turns on red, and a reduced speed limit.

Article text:

Drivers traveling in downtown Edmond will see new changes next week as city officials are expected to implement a speed limit reduction and No Right Turn on Red intersections.

Beginning on Monday, June 22, city crews will implement new signage in downtown Edmond to lower the speed limit from 25 to 20 mph and to prohibit right turns at red lights.

City officials say these changes are “the first step to enhance safety for pedestrians and those utilizing alternative modes of transportation.”

Work is expected to last multiple weeks to fully implement with cooperative weather.
