To help get out the word about local speed limits and the importance of slower speeds for safety, the City again has free yard signs for community members.

Slower speeds on local streets make travel safer for everyone no matter how you get around. Speeding is the No. 1 factor in severe and fatal crashes in Minneapolis; please slow down to save lives.

You can pick up a free “20 is plenty” yard sign from any of the free sidewalk sand pickup locations:

• North: 2710 Pacific St., outside the main Public Works gate.
• Northeast: 1809 Washington St. NE, outside the fence at Jefferson Street and 18th Avenue.
• South: 27th Street just east of Longfellow Avenue near the Public Works gate.
• Southwest: 6036 Harriet Ave. S., at the southwest corner of 60th Street and Harriet Avenue.

The signs come with metal stands. They’re available to pick up 24 hours a day while supplies last.
