Proposed bylaw would establish 30km/h speed limits in effect 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday from September to June

Winnipeg, MB - A report proposing a new bylaw to establish reduced-speed school zones in Winnipeg will be considered on Tuesday, June 3 by the Committee on Infrastructure Renewal and Public Works. If approved by Council, the new bylaw would enable maximum speed limits of 30 km/h around 171 Winnipeg schools. These reduced speeds would be in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday during the months of September to June.

Reduced-speed school zones would be created on any street that:

  • borders a private or public school which includes grade six or lower,
  • is not a regional street and
  • can meet the requirements for signage set out in the Manitoba Reduced-Speed School Zones Regulation.

A full list of the streets that would be impacted is attached to the report to be considered by the Committee on Tuesday.

If the proposed bylaw is approved by Council, signage will be in place for the start of the 2014-2015 school year.
