We advocate for 30 km/hr speed limits in school zones.
Why?
- To improve cycling and pedestrian conditions on neighbourhood streets
- To increase the likelihood a pedestrian or cyclist will survive if struck by a vehicle travelling at the posted speed limit
- To reduce the distance needed for vehicles to stop safely
