40km/h Area Speed Limits are coming to four Cambridge neighbourhoods the week of June 28, 2021.This pilot project will evaluate the effectiveness of neighbourhood wide 40km/h speed limits and will take approximately two years to complete.All streets within the pilot areas will have a speed limit of 40km/h marked with 40km/h Area signs at each boundary point. As of May 2018 the Highway Traffic Act allows speed limits other than 50km/h without block by block signage in bounded zones. While supplementary Area signs may be used within the pilot neighbourhoods, speed limits will not be signed along the street except where existing for school and park zones.Why Pilot 40km/h Neighbourhoods?Approximately 25% of all traffic inquires received by the City are concerns about speeding in residential areas.Reduced speed limit neighbourhoods are intended to set an expectation for more conscious driving in residential neighbourhoods. If this project is successful, neighbourhood reduced speed limits could be adopted in other individual neighbourhood areas (an expansion of this pilot) or adopted City wide in residential areasPilot AreasDetailed area maps are available under Resources.
