Speed limits
Throughout 2024, the City through its contractor will be installing approximately 1,300 "Maximum 40 Area Begins" and "Maximum 40 Area Ends" signs at or near the intersection of every residential street that meets either an arterial or a collector road.
The sign installation follows Council's approval in 2022 of a City staff recommendation to reduce the speed limit on those residential streets from 50 km/h to 40 km/h. In 2018, the province amended the Ontario Highway Traffic Act to allow municipalities to enact lower speed limits within neighbourhoods, or areas, through the use of the new gateway signage.
