While school may be out for summer, Winnipeg drivers shouldn’t close the books on reduced-speed zones.
Some reduced speed limits are in place year-round.
Neighbourhood greenways
Neighbourhood greenways are on-street routes designed to comfortably and safely move both cyclists and motor vehicles. Greenways typically include a range of treatments from low-impact things like signage, bike signals, and pavement markings to more permanent traffic calming measures like speed humps and a reduced speed limit.
The speed limit is reduced to 30 km/h, 24/7 and year-round on 16 of our 26 neighbourhood greenway routes:
- Alexander Avenue (Arlington Street to Princess Street)
- Cockburn Street South (Kylemore Avenue to Jubilee Avenue)
- Egerton Road (Bank Avenue to Morier Aveune)
- Eugenie Street (St. Mary’s Road to Youville Street)
- Harbison Avenue West (Henderson Highway to eastern terminus)
- Kildonan Drive (Helmsdale Avenue to Irving Place)
- Linwood Street (Portage Avenue to Silver Avenue)
- Machray Avenue (Fife Street to Main Street)
- Powers Street (Dufferin Avenue to Partridge Avenue)
- Rover Avenue (Hallet Street to Stephens Street)
- Ruby Street / Banning Street (Palmerston Avenue to Notre Dame Avenue)
- Scotia Street and St. Cross Street (between Armstrong Avenue and Anderson Avenue, including one-block segments on Leila Avenue, Marymound Way, Forrest Avenue and Cathedral Avenue)
- Walker avenue (Argue Street to Osborne Street)
- Warsaw Avenue (Thurso Street to Pembina Highway)
- Egerton Road (Bank Avenue to Morier Avenue)
- Wolseley Avenue (Raglan Road to Maryland Street)

Seasonal bike routes
Speed limit reductions are also in place on each of four seasonal bike routes:
- Churchill Drive (Hay Street to Jubilee Avenue) – 30 km/h
- Kilkenny Drive / Kings Drive (Burgess Avenue to Kings Drive / Kilkenny Drive to Patricia Avenue) – 40 km/h
- Lyndale Drive (Cromwell Steret to Gauvin Street) – 30 km/h
- Wellington Crescent (Academy Road to Guelph Street) – 30 km/h
Speeds are reduced on these routes 24/7 from May 1 through Thanksgiving. Additional measures specific to each street are in place on weekends in May, June, September, and October, and daily through July and August.
