The City of Malden has chosen to opt in to the Mass General Law on adopting a 25 MPH speed limit city-wide unless otherwise posted.
Section 193 of Chapter 218 of the Acts of 2016 allows cities or towns to opt-in to Chapter 90, Section 17C of the MGL, setting the reasonable and proper speed on municipally-owned streets within thickly settled or business districts at 25 mph. This may apply to any or all city or town ways that do not have existing special speed regulations.
