Staff reported back to Council on the Reduced Speeds in Residential Areas Pilot Project at the July 10, 2023 Council meeting.
The results of the pilot continue to show that vehicle speeds are not reduced by signs alone and that most serious collisions occur on collectors and arterial roads and at intersections. As such Council directed staff to focus traffic calming on specific locations, identified using an evidence based, data-driven approach, rather than adopting a blanket speed reduction.
