The Kokomo Common Council passed a trio of traffic regulations at its April 14 meeting, including new speed limits, new commercial vehicle routes, and a no parking zone. The recommendations came from the Kokomo Traffic Commission and were brought forward by Councilman Jeff Plough (R-4^th).

The new regulations were not read into the record at the meeting. However, they were posted as part of the council’s April 14 meeting packet, which can be reviewed at www.cityofkokomo.org.

This section of Washington Street is now part of a designated commercial vehicle route.
