DelDOT is rolling out speed limit changes along Coastal Highway from Dewey Beach to the Delaware/Maryland state line, with the first changes already in effect between Dewey Beach and Fred Hudson Road as of April 21. Additional signs will be updated Tuesday. DelDOT says the changes "were primarily prompted by concerns about speeding from the local communities and the Coalition for a Safer North Bethany due to a rising number of crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists."
Speed limits are being reduced in multiple areas, depending on direction and location. Here's a breakdown of the changes:
