Lower Speed Limit Proposed Near Schools In Wellington North

Speed limits are going to be reduced near all schools in Wellington North.

Council was initially concerned with rural schools, particularly those in the vicinity of heavy truck traffic from gravel pits.

But then it expanded the discussion to setting a limit that will apply across the municipality to all schools -- both urban and rural.

Most of council liked the idea of a 40 km/hr limit.

Wellington County OPP will be asked for input on the lowered speed limit in school zones.
