School Zone Speed Limits Changed In Fairfield: Police

FAIRFIELD, CT — With schools beginning next week in Fairfield and throughout Connecticut, the Fairfield Police Department is announcing the creation of new "School Speed Limit 20 MPH" zones on certain roads in town during school days.

The effort was approved by the state, and new signage will appear on several roads.

"As the start of school approaches, these signs will be installed in the coming days and will take effect upon installation," Fairfield police wrote on Facebook.

"The speed limits will be in effect in both directions on these roadways. The Fairfield Police Department urges all drivers to adhere to these new speed limits and help ensure the safety of our students."
