MoveSmart Mobility Management Strategy
With thousands of businesses and more than 344,000 residents, Vaughan is one of Ontario’s fastest-growing municipalities. To keep up with the increase in travel demand, the City initiated the MoveSmart Mobility Management Strategy (MoveSmart).
The City of Vaughan continues to make road safety, active and sustainable travel modes and effective traffic management a top priority.
To date, the City has implemented several initiatives under MoveSmart, including:
• installing and piloting traffic calming measures, such as enhanced radar message boards and year round flexi-posts, temporary speed humps, planters and curb extensions at select locations across the city
• setting and adjusting appropriate speed limits and installing new signage
• completing neighbourhood traffic and speed management studies
• replacing and optimizing pavement markings and signs
• introducing new “slow school zone” stencil pavement markings within school zone areas
• upgrading streetlights from the current high-pressure sodium to light-emitting diode (LED) technology
• developing and implementing safety measures near school zones
• recruiting and training school crossing guards
