Oklahoma City has lowered the speed limit to 25 miles per hour through the busy NW 23 Street corridor on either side of the newly renovated Tower Theater.

Signs advising motorists of the new speed limit have been up about a month.

There were 128 collisions along the corridor between N Classen Boulevard and N Broadway Avenue in 2015, the last full year for which statistics are available, according to Oklahoma Department of Public Safety data.

A review of three years' data turned up one accident involving a pedestrian.
