Reminder: School Zone and Playground Zone reduced speed limits are in effect year-round
For immediate release: June 28, 2023 - 10:00 am
TC23-4260
The City is issuing a friendly reminder that reduced speed limits in school zones and playground zones are in effect year-round. With the end of the school year and summer season upon us, it is important to remember that speed limits in school and playground zones remain 30 km/h every day, all year from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The reduced speeds where children play allow a driver more time to react, a wider field of vision and a chance to come to a complete stop sooner.
Key points to remember:
- School Zone & Playground Zone reduced speeds are 30 km/h every day, all year from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Where School and Playground Zone signs do not include a posted speed limit sign, treat the sign as a caution and pay close attention through the area.
- Speed enforcement activities will be aligned with School Zone and Playground Zone effective hours.
Thanks for driving responsibly and adhering to reduced speed limits year-round!
