Motorists are being reminded to slow down on certain Winnipeg streets as summer bike routes return.
A speed limit reduction will be phased in over the next week on four Winnipeg streets as part of the Council-approved 2024 seasonal bike route program.
Signage reducing the speed limit is now up on the following streets:
- Lyndale Drive – Cromwell Street to Gauvin Street (30 km/h)
- Wellington Crescent – Academy Road to Academy Road/Maryland Street (30 km/h)
- Churchill Drive between Hay Street and Jubilee Avenue (30 km/h)
- Kilkenny Drive between Burgess Avenue and Kings Drive / Kings Drive between Kilkenny Drive and Patricia Avenue (40 km/h)
The speed reduction will be in place 24/7 from the time signs are installed through late October.
Turn requirements at select intersections throughout each route will be added following the City of Winnipeg’s spring clean-up operations and will be in place weekends in May, June, September, and October, and 24/7 through July and August.
