Calgary Drops Speed Limits for Safety | Calgary News

Calgary’s streets are slowing down—speed limits are dropping to 40 km/h on key roads like Lake Bonavista Drive by year’s end, part of the city’s bold Vision Zero plan to slash fatal crashes. After reviewing 700+ roads, officials targeted 300 high-risk spots—including busy, speeding-prone corridors near schools and curves—where lower limits boost safety for pedestrians and create consistency across neighborhoods. Residents applaud the move, especially in bustling areas like Lake Sylvan Drive, where speeding was a concern. With 21 fatal collisions and 25 deaths this year—including six pedestrian fatalities—the city is racing to implement changes citywide by 2026, with more neighborhood updates coming soon for Ward 14.
