As published

31-5-303. Establishing maximum speed limits by local authorities.

(a) Repealed By Laws 2002, Ch. 68, § 2. (b) Except as provided in subsection (f) of this section, in compliance with rules promulgated by the department, local authorities in their respective jurisdictions may determine the proper maximum speed for all streets and highways within their respective corporate jurisdiction which maximum speed is reasonable and safe and which may be greater or less than the maximum speed permitted under this act. The rules promulgated by the department shall adopt standards consistent with national practices. The department shall not promulgate rules that require a speed study before a local authority establishes a maximum speed limit for unpaved roads in accordance with subsection (f) of this section. (c) Any altered limit established under this section shall be effective during hours of darkness or at other times as may be determined when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street or highway. (d) Any alteration of maximum limits on state highways or extensions thereof in a municipality by local authorities is not effective until the alteration has been approved by the superintendent. (e) Not more than six (6) alterations authorized under this section shall be made per mile along a street or highway, except in the case of reduced limits at intersections, and the difference between adjacent limits shall not be more than fifteen (15) miles per hour. (f) A local authority may decrease a maximum speed limit to not less than thirty-five (35) miles per hour for unpaved roadways under W.S. 31-5-301(b)(iv) without first conducting a speed study. A local authority may establish a temporary speed limit of less than thirty-five (35) miles per hour without conducting a speed study and for a period not exceeding one (1) year for purposes including, but not limited to, construction, maintenance, special events, emergency situations and changes in use. Before establishing a temporary speed limit of less than thirty-five (35) miles per hour, the local authority shall consult with the local authority's engineer or road and bridge superintendent and law enforcement with jurisdiction over the roadway.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
