The plan, which takes the form of 27 measures to be implemented over five years, includes tougher fines for offences against pedestrians and cyclists, reduced speeds in school zones, and more photo radars. As part of the plan, the government intends to reduce the maximum speed limit to 30 km/h in nearly every school zone in Quebec for more hours of the day and to improve signage. Right now, the speed limit of 30 km/h applies to a large majority of school zones in the province, but there are some where drivers are allowed to drive up to 50 km/h.
Guilbault says the number of photo radars on the province's roads — currently 54 — will be bumped up "significantly," but she didn't mention a specific number. The province also plans to require more training for a Class A commercial trucking licence. It also intends to organize training activities on good road practices, including rolling out a major road safety campaign and the ongoing review of driving course content.Step in right direction
Sandrine Cabana-Degani, general manager of Piétons Québec, a group that advocates for pedestrians, says expectations for the plan are high, and she is pleased to see that the transport minister listened to her group's requests.
