Neighbourhood speed limit reductions coming to Dartmouth Centre (Harbourview area)
The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that speed limits will be reduced from 50 km/h to 40 km/h in the residential streets bound by Victoria, Albro Lake and Wyse roads.
Neighbourhood speed limit reductions are part of the municipality’s ongoing initiatives to improve road safety. All streets with reduced speeds are inside the highlighted area of the attached map. The impacted streets within the boundary include:
- Chapman Street
- Richmond Street
- Chappell Street
- Russell Street
- Symonds Street
Crews will begin work this week.
Through the Nova Scotia Motor Vehicle Act, the province legislates speed limits on public roadways to a default speed limit of 50 km/h. The province allows municipalities to request posted speed limits below 50 km/h if accompanied by necessary documentation, including current operating speeds and roadway characteristics.
