The reason being Starr Street belongs to the State (Route 29) and should be 35 MPH, but since it is withing the Borough limits a deal with the Borough let the Borough put a 25 MPH limit on the road.

Nutt Road east of Starr is a State road (Route 23) and is not in the Borough of Phoenixville. It is in Schuylkill Township and they seem satisfied with letting the State control the speed limit.

Because 25 MPH is ridiculous for this road - way too low. Should be 35 PMH or 40 MPH.

Realize I am very late to this post, but you are all VERY wrong about the Starr St. speed limits. How do you expect residents who live in the neighborhoods on the east side of Starr to merge into morning rush hour traffic from 0mph when drivers are doing 40mph? There are no other outlets in my neighborhood other than Starr St. and I am sick of passers through speeding and riding my @#$% when I try to merge onto the street.
