Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about the project:
-
Answer
As part of our ongoing commitment to advancing road safety, the City explored the possibility of reducing speed limits to 30 km/h in Community Safety Zones to protect our most vulnerable road users.
-
Answer
The City currently has no plans to reduce speed limits outside of Community Safety Zones. If implemented, the speed limit reduction would only be implemented in Community Safety Zones. All arterial roadways, including Community Safety Zones on arterial roadways, are under York Region jurisdiction and are not included in this review.
-
Answer
All school zones in Vaughan are designated as Community Safety Zones. Community Safety Zones can also include roadways near schools, neighbourhoods, daycare centres, playgrounds, parks, hospitals and seniors’ residences. These zones are meant to encourage drivers to slow down as they bring awareness to the presence of vulnerable road users. Reducing speed would further encourage safe travel and support traffic calming in the community.
