Cupertino lowers speed limits on five streets to enhance safety

Cupertino has reduced speed limits on five streets, including McClellan and Bubb roads, as part of its Vision Zero Action Plan. This plan aims to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries by 2040. The new speed limits are now displayed on updated signs. The plan focuses on safer street designs and community engagement, prioritizing pedestrian safety over vehicle speed. Cupertino joins over 40 U.S. communities in this international effort, which began in 1997. The initiative recognizes speed as a key factor in crash severity, especially near schools.
