Quadra-Hillside first to get reduced speed-limit signs

Signs will be unveiled in coming weeks to reflect the adoption of a default speed limit of 30 km/h on neighbourhood roads

Drivers making their way through Victoria’s Hillside-Quadra neighbourhood will soon be more in touch with their brake pedals as the city starts implementing its new default speed limit this spring.

The new signage, to be introduced around the city over the next two years, will start appearing in Hillside-Quadra first, followed by Burnside-Gorge in the fall and Oaklands in the winter.Promotional lawn signs and window decals will be available as part of the city’s “We Go Slow” awareness campaign through the website ­victoria.ca/30km.

The initiative was inspired by Vision Zero, created in Europe in the 1990s, which aims to reduce ­fatalities through better road design, speed ­reduction and other measures. 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.
