West end Alliston set for speed reduction zone trial run

 

Posted May 14, 2025​

 

New 40 km/h speed signs are being installed this morning along routes bounded by Industrial Parkway, Young Street and King Street in west end Alliston as part of a pilot project to control speeds in residential neighbourhoods. Industrial, King and Young will remain 50 km/h. 

​

Whether the lower limit remains in place permanently will depend on "sufficient traffic data  collected by the OPP and/or the Town's contractor, and analyzed by Staff."

 

Five each of "Begins" and "Ends" signs are being installed at the key intersections at an esimated cost of $6,000.

​

OPP will be using Black Cat radar devices to collect traffic speed and volume data within the neighbourhood area to determine the effectiveness of the 40 km/h neighbourhood area speed limit pilot project.
