How can I get a 30km/h school speed limit installed on the highway?
The school speed zones may be approved by the regional traffic engineer. They are only used on roads adjacent to where an elementary school is located, however due to the restrictive nature of the 30km/h speed limit, they are not be installed on a numbered provincial highway. Elementary schools that have a property line along a numbered provincial highway should fence the property between the school and highway, and use a side road to access school property. The side road could then be signed with a 30km/h school. Under the Motor Vehicle Act the school zone is in effect from 8am to 5pm, or as specified on the speed sign. Playground zones are in effect from sunrise to sunset.
