Michigan HB4597 allows local governments to establish speed limits on local highways.

Michigan HB4597 amends the state's traffic control laws to allow local governments to establish speed limits on local highways. Local road authorities, including counties, townships, cities, and villages, can set speed limits based on public safety, traffic flow, and other factors. The process requires a public hearing and written approval from local law enforcement. The state transportation department and the department of state police can set speed limits on limited access freeways and trunk line highways.
