Possible speed limit adjustments

Concerns from residents in Kawartha Lakes have led to city councillor Pat Dunn calling for an official review of speed limits in the city. MyKawartha reported, "His comments came on the heels of a request from a William Street North resident concerned with traffic in front of his home. But Dunn said he’s heard the same concern from residents elsewhere in the city, including Fenelon Falls." The concern stems from drivers consistently exceeding speed limits by about 8km/h. The report should be completed in early 2019, and we will continue to keep you updated on any developments!

Speed limits in Kawartha Lakes under review

Dunn said that doesn’t mean he’s necessarily in favour or opposed to it, but he thinks a report by staff could be educational if council were to reconsider lowering speed limits.Dunn, a former police officer, said some reports have suggested the average driver exceeds the speed limit by 8 km/h.
