Traffic Calming Measures being Implemented on City Streets

The City of St. John’s has announced additional traffic calming measures that will be implemented on some City streets.

Baird Place between Vinnicombe Street to Wicklow Street, Empire Avenue between Blackmarsh Road and Jensen Camp Road, and Rotary Drive/Lions Road will see the permanent installation of speed cushions.

Streets that were trialled but will not see permanent installation of speed cushions for 2024 include Frecker Drive between Gladney Street and Hamlyn Road and Stavanger Drive between Snows Lane and Shortall Street.

For the upcoming year, temporary traffic calming speed cushions will be trialled on Durdle Drive, Empire Avenue between Bonaventure Avenue and Carpasian Road, Toronto Street between Princess Anne Place and McDonald Drive, Ladysmith Drive between Lady Anderson Street and Kiwanis Street, and Vinnicombe Street.

Temporary speed cushions will be installed in the spring and removed in the fall.
