This project aims  to purchase and install up to 5 speed reader boards in the community. Of concern are the offramps from the Trans-Canada Highway where vehicles carry  their speed into the downtown despite the highway signed speed changing from  90 km/h to 50 km/h. The other area of concern are long straight wide stretches of road within the municipality, namely Pine Street, and 2nd  Avenue.

‍

We have correspondence from ICBC’s Road Safety Engineer Davide Dean that completed a Safety Review in 2016 and made recommendations for speed reader boards. We also have numerous complaints from the public about speeding vehicles. We also have vigilante residents painting ’SLOW DOWN’ on our roads, and installing illegal non-confirming signage indicating to drivers to slow down.

We also have golf carts on our roads and the speed limit is 30 km/hr when a golf cart is on the road.
