We are painting on-street markings on roadways in existing school zones. They will help make school zones more visible to drivers.
We are piloting the markings at five locations this fall:
Talbot Avenue at River Elm School
St. Matthews Avenue at Greenway School
Berry Street at Stevenson School
Vermillion Road at Ecole Van Belleghem
Burrows Avenue at Strathcona School
These school zones have higher levels of speed enforcement activity despite existing reduced speed signage. Many are also more than 10 m wide, which may reduce drivers’ awareness of how fast they’re going.
We collected speed data at these locations before installing the pavement markings. We will now monitor traffic to see if travel speeds go down in the area.
