These Phoenix areas could see speed limit changes. Here's what to know

Phoenix drivers could see speed limit changes across the city soon.

The streets department will ask the City Council to approve reducing speeds by 5 mph at 12 spots because of "road and traffic conditions." The council is all but certain to approve the changes Dec. 6.

The reductions come as part of the city's biannual review of speed limits. They build on Phoenix's "Vision Zero" goal to reduce traffic deaths to zero by 2050.
