Speed Zone Request

Search for Speed Zone Order or Investigation Report

When you get to the search page there’s a few things to know in order to help you find your document:

• This database only holds the most recent order for a road. If a speed limit has changed and you’re looking for the old order, you won’t find it here. You’ll have to contact our Speed Zone Specialist for help.
• The search function will look for anything in our data that exactly matches the criteria you enter in the boxes. You don’t have to fill out everything to get what you’re looking for. That is, if you enter “Main” for Road/Highway Name, it will return any number of orders in which “Main” is all OR part of the road name. (Westmain, Main, Quartermain, etc., all “fit.” However if you misspell, you will get no return (you will NOT get a record for “Main” if you spell it “Mane”).
• The more data you fill in, the less records you will get back. This will narrow the material you need to look through to find what you want. If you are finding out there are just too many “Main Streets” in the state, you may narrow the results received by specifying you only want “Main Street” records for the City of Aumsville.
• The less data you fill in, the more records you will get back. This will broaden the material available for you to review. If you’re not finding what you’re looking for, you may want to broaden your search by filling in less data. For example, if you’re looking for a speed zone for a city street without success, try removing any entry in the “City” field. In this way, you may find a speed zone order that was issued when the city street was still outside city limits. If you’re not sure if a street is within city limits, try leaving the City and County fields blank. You may want to see all the speed zone orders in one city. Just fill in the city name and leave the other fields blank.
• In our speed zone database, we spell out “Street”, “Avenue”, etc. We simply use the first initial(s) for directions in street names such as “S Main Street” or “1st Street NE”. So if you make the mistake of entering “Main St.” in the search field, you will get no results back because the “St.” (with a period after the abbreviation) is nowhere entered in that database. With that in mind, you should be able to make entries that bring you the information you want.
• We suggest you keep it simple to start. Enter less data to see what you get and then refine your search with more data to focus in on what you want exactly.
• If you are unable to get results on a search for a street and if you’re sure you’ve spelled everything right, it is possible there is no designated speed zone order on the road you’re looking for. Usually, the explanation is that the road may operate under a statutory speed limit such as a 25 mph residential speed. Statutory limits do not require speed zone orders and we don’t maintain a record of these in our database.
• If you’re having problems locating a speed zone order or having other issues with this service, email our Speed Zone Specialist for assistance.
