From CBC London: City approves 40 km/h speed limit on local streets and photo radar in school zones.
London's City Council just approved reducing speed limits on local streets to 40km/h, and implementing photo radar in school zones (using mobile equipment that will cycle between different schools).
It also directed staff to report on lowering the speed limit in school zones to 30km/h, and downtown streets to 40km/h.
I don't think this goes far enough, and my opinion is that residential streets should have a standard speed limit of 30km/h, and photo radar should be used much more widely. I just wanted to post it to contrast with the City of Kitchener's decision back in August to implement a pilot program reducing speed limits in a mere three neighbourhoods (and the school zones in those neighbourhoods to 30km/h).
