Speed Zones (State and Local Roads)This layer shows the location of Speed Zones on all public access roads found in the Integrated Road Information System (IRIS) and includes temporal speed zones such as school zones. A school zone refers to an area on a street near a school or near a pedestrian crossing leading to a school that has a likely presence of younger pedestrians. School zones generally have a reduced speed limit during certain hours.Update FrequencyUpdates to the ArcGIS layer are triggered by changes in IRIS data and refreshed weekly.DisclaimerPlease note that you are accessing this data under a Creative Commons Attribution Licence, which includes a disclaimer of warranties and a limitation of liability.
