Speed limit changes coming to Portland Street
The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that the speed limit will be reduced from 60 km/h to 50 km/h on a section of Portland Street in Dartmouth. The reduced speed zone is between Portland Estates Boulevard and Portland Hills Drive.
Crews will be posting the new signage this week.
Change in traffic operations – Intersection of Jubilee Road and Oxford Street
The Halifax Regional Municipality is implementing a change to traffic operations at the signalized intersection of Oxford Street and Jubilee Road. Signage is anticipated to be installed this week which will restrict motorists from making a right turn from eastbound on Jubilee Road to southbound on Oxford Street when facing a red signal.
This restriction is being implemented under the municipality’s Strategic Road Safety Plan, in response to a demonstrated, on-going issue with vehicle collisions and conflicts with pedestrians in the crosswalk related to vehicles turning “right on red” at this particular leg of the intersection.
