City leaders said the move is part of their plan to increase foot traffic and bicyclists in the business district, according to Patch. The new speed limits take effect on July 1.

Those streets include:

Sophia Street between Lafayette Boulevard and Amelia Street
Caroline Street between Lafayette Boulevard and Lewis Street
William Street between Washington Avenue and Sophia Street
Lafayette Street between Sophia Street and Prince Edward Street

Fredericksburg city officials approved these new speed limits in May. You can read more about the ordinance on the city's website.
