'These are places where people live': More Calgary roads reduced to 40 km/h speed limit at residents' requests

'Do people keep 40? Not really, they're still going 50 . . . but when it was 50, they were going 60,' said Lakeview resident Dave Quon

Three years after speed limits were lowered on residential Calgary streets, communities across the city are requesting the change on more roads.

In 2021, unposted speed limits across Calgary were lowered from 50 km/h to 40 km/h, a change that affected mostly residential streets.

Since then, the City of Calgary has received 105 requests to review speed limits on collector roads, which connect neighbourhoods to busier areas and typically have a centre line.
