Community Safety Zones
Community Safety Zones are areas with lots of pedestrians, typically near schools, that have posted signs to reinforce safe and careful driving. Even though the rules of the road stay the same, the fines for breaking them are twice as much in these zones to encourage drivers to use caution and stay at or below the speed limit.
Community safety zones
Community Safety Zones have been created at schools across the city. The automated speed enforcement program operates in Community Safety Zones to encourage reduced speeds in school areas, where families may be walking or cycling to school.

This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada.
Neighbourhood area speed limits
All roads in neighbourhoods with Area Speed Limits have a speed limit of 40 km/h unless otherwise posted. Signs that read 'AREA BEGINS' or ' AREA ENDS' are located at all entry and exit points to the neighbourhood. The speed limits on the main roads bordering a neighbourhood area are not impacted.
