Reduced Speed Limit in School Zones starts Sept. 1 – Friendly Reminder

This is a friendly reminder for those who are in Winnipeg to avoid the fine of approximately $300 for speeding through school zones.

Starting September 1, the maximum speed limits of 30 km/h around many Winnipeg schools are in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. This will last until the month of June.  

Reduced-speed school zones apply to any street that:

• borders a private or public school which includes grade six or lower,
• is not a regional street and
• meets the requirements for signage set out in the Manitoba Reduced-Speed School Zones Regulation.

Watch for the following signs that denote a reduced-speed school zone:

• Reduced speed ahead sign

 

• Beginning of reduced-speed school zone sign

• End of reduced-speed school zone sign

 

If you are in other cities of Canada and with different  speed limit school zone regulations, please share it below. Thank you.
