Quadra-Hillside first to get reduced speed-limit signs
Saanich will follow suit with lower speed limits on nine traffic corridors this spring. Mayor Dean Murdock said signage should start appearing this spring. The speed limit will mostly drop to 40 km/h on the nine corridors, with a few stretches of 25 km/h or 30 km/h.
The first phase of the Saanich program will target rural roads and that is expected to be complete by the fall.
The first to be targeted are nine of what Saanich calls Type B streets — those with a continuous yellow centre line.
At the top of the list are Sayward Road to Cadboro Bay Road, Cedar Hill Cross Road, Harriet Road from Gorge Road West to McKenzie Avenue, Tillicum Road, Gorge Road West, Prospect Lake Road, Old West Saanich Road and Oldfield Road, West Saanich Road and Emily Carr Drive.
