30 KM/H LIMITS ARE COMING TO SCHOOL ZONES

Posted April 19, 2023

Good afternoon parents and caregivers!

We are sharing the following information on behalf of the City of Waterloo as it affects our school:

Safety for everyone on and near our roads is a community priority for the City of Waterloo. As part of our plan to improve road safety, we are reducing speed limits in school zones to 30 km/h this spring. Look for new 30 km/h signs and slow down in school zones. Together, we can make our roads safer for all vulnerable road users: pedestrians, cyclists, children, everyone! The next phase of this plan will include lower speed limits on neighbourhood streets. To learn more about how we are creating safe streets for all, visit https://www.engagewr.ca/speed-management
