Roads
What should the residential speed limit be?
Context:
In November 2020, city council approved lowering the default residential speed limit from 50 km/h to 40 km/h as of Aug. 6. Paths for People has argued that 30 km/h would be better to decrease the severity of collisions. A community group also proposed lowering the residential speed limit to 30 km/h at least in the Core Zone, which includes Edmonton's mature neighbourhoods. Opponents of lowering speed limits cited motorists' lost time and the costs of enforcement measures.
