LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council adopted a resolution on June 23 to implement a 15 mph speed limit on various streets near 45 schools in the city.

The move is part of an effort to enhance public safety after a string of accidents, including one that resulted in the death of a mother and severe injury to her child while they were walking to school.
