Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Limit Reductions to 30 km/h on Local Roads and Public Lanes - Toronto and East York Area (Ward 4, Ward 9 and Ward 19)

The Vision Zero Speed Management Strategy includes a program for reducing speed limits on local roads, as defined in the City's Road Classification System and public lanes or public alleys, to 30 km/h on a neighbourhood basis. With this approach the City is no longer required to sign every individual street within that designated area but only the entry and exit points to/from the designated area where speed limits change and any internal roads with a different speed limit. In 2015, two Community Council reports were approved, reducing all local roadways with speed limits of 50 km/h and 40 km/h to 30 km/h. The purpose of this report is to recommend area-based speed limit reductions to 30 km/h on public lanes or public alleys and local roads in the parts of Wards 4, 9 and 19 added to the Toronto and East York Community Council area in 2018. This will complete the reduction of speed limits on all local roads in the Toronto and East York Community Council area to 30 km/h. This measure supports the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy.
