Be on the lookout for speed signage this summer

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)
