New Traffic Bylaw Speed Signage Currently Being Installed
May 17, 2024
Signage is currently being installed throughout the Town in accordance with the new Traffic Bylaw 1179. Please exercise caution when passing workers working on the shoulders of the roadway.
Traffic Bylaw No. 1179 introduces lower speed limits in select areas to increase public safety. 40 km/h is now the assumed speed limit when no posted speed limit signage exists. This measure aims to enhance pedestrian safety and minimize traffic-related incidents.
Updated Speed Limits:
- 40 km/h limit on all streets unless otherwise posted (previously 50 km/h).
- 30 km/h limit in school zones, playgrounds, and parks from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
- The current posted speed limit signage must be followed and adhered to until removed/replaced with the updated signage.
