The speed limit on Brisbane's Ann Street will be permanently slowed from 60km/h to 40km/h next week.

Brisbane lord mayor Graham Quirk will on Monday announce the start date for the reduced speed limit - Monday, November 5 - which will be in effect between Creek Street and the Riverside Expressway.

Last month, Cr Quirk revealed he would be slashing the speed on Ann Street, and introducing new and upgraded pedestrian crossings, in response to the interim findings from council's pedestrian safety review.

There have been several incidents involving pedestrians in Brisbane this year, including the death of Ann Marie Stent, who died on May 22 after being hit by a bus while crossing Ann Street.
