St. John's improves school zone speed limit signs

St. John's City Council approved an update to school zone speed limit signs citywide to reflect a 30 km/h limit from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days.

This aligns with the Highway Traffic Act. This change extends the morning enforcement start time by 30 minutes (previously 7:30 a.m.) and coincides with the upcoming rollout of the provincial automated image-capturing speed enforcement system.

The updated signage will be in place before the school year begins on September 3, at multiple designated schools across the city.
