The speed limit along the four-lane State Route 24 in the Southeast Valley has been adjusted from 45 to 55 mph.
The increase follows an evaluation by the Arizona Department of Transportation. Crews installed new signs Thursday night.
“A key function of speed limits is to encourage most drivers to travel closer to the same speed, which enhances safety,” ADOT officials stated in a release.
SR 24 serves as a divided four-lane interim roadway which opened in 2022 between Ellsworth Road and Ironwood Drive.
A project to improve SR 24 as a six-lane access-controlled urban freeway is scheduled to start in 2027 as part of the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Regional Transportation Plan for the Valley, officials said.
