Hey there, time traveller!

City hall plans to add another 120 reduced-speed schools zones across the city.
An amending bylaw, which will authorize the additions, is up for debate at Wednesday’s city council meeting.
New 30 km/h zones were established in September adjacent to more than 170 public and private schools with Grade 6 or lower.
The initial June bylaw authorizing the lower speed zones had to be amended in September after the legality of many tickets was questioned. It turns out that the signs notifying motorists of the speed change were not placed according to the conditions set out in the bylaw – mostly because of obstacles that got in the way.
City hall says the additional 120 reduced-speed zones have been allowed as a result of amendments made in August to the provincial reduced-speed school zone regulations.
Reduced speed school zones are in effect from 7 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, during the months of September to June.
The new speed zones apply to any street that borders a private or public school that includes Grade 6 or lower.
The lower speed limit is not in force on regional streets.
