Speed limits will drop from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on a number of streets in Dartmouth.
It’s part of an ongoing effort to improve road safety.
The impacted streets within the boundary are:
- Rose Street
- Tulip Street
- Dahlia Street
- Myrtle Street
- Pine Street
- Beech Street
- Oak Street
- Mayflower Street
- Cleveland Crescent
Crews will begin sign installation work next week.
Through the Nova Scotia Motor Vehicle Act (MVA), 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.
