Speed limit to increase in nearly 200 school zones in Mississauga (www.insauga.com)

Posted speed limits in nearly 200 Mississauga school zones will soon increase to 40 km/h

With the new amendments on local roads, City of Mississauga officials said the speed limit will remain 30 km/h from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, and outside that period will be increased to 40 km/h. The move was prompted by complaints from drivers that the 30 km/h limit was too low during times when there were no students and other people around.

Isn’t that normal that school zone speeds are only in effect during and around schooltime?

[–] unome@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Seriously. In BC it's 50km/h outside school hours (8am-5pm) or days. Unless signed otherwise, but I've never seen one different.

In Alberta, I believe playground zones are in effect until 9 pm. Makes sense in the summer, not so much in the winter. I don’t think something like Smith Ave in Burnaby should be 50 km/h though.
