Driving, Cycling & Walking

Shared Streets are open for people who walk, bike and drive, regardless of how they choose to move around our city. Vehicle access is restricted to local traffic only along Shared Streets, and since all modes are using the same space, the speed limit is reduced to 20 km/hr. Streets in densely populated neighbourhoods are the priority, so all Edmontonians have an opportunity to space out.

The City of Edmonton will adjust push buttons at pedestrian crossings and allocate some roadways for shared use effective Thursday. These changes will help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and encourage physical distancing while Edmontonians are outside. 

Pedestrian signals will become automatic at 56 intersections located in high pedestrian areas and around hospitals to eliminate the need to push buttons at these crossings. The City will post signage to promote the change in these areas. The audible signal for the visually impaired will continue to be activated by pushing the button.

The original Order was repealed by the City after the Government of Alberta issued new guidance for Taxis, Limos and Rideshares on May 24. This new provincial guidance covers driver hygiene, cleaning and disinfection, distancing, passengers, and more.

Provincial Guidance for Taxis, Limos & Rideshares

Edmontonians are reminded to use caution and follow physical distancing guidelines and practical recommendations when interacting in public spaces. 

Please keep your physical distance; at least 2 metres from others, whether it's on trails, in parks, on stairs, or buying groceries. It’s important to follow physical distancing practices as outlined by Alberta Health Services.
 
Park Rangers and security personnel will be patrolling parks, staircases, and trails to support closures and physical distancing requirements.

Beginning June 15, the funicular will resume operation from 7 am to 9 pm, providing accessibility options into the river valley for Edmontonians.  Additional COVID-19 prevention measures will be introduced, including limiting ridership to two people at a time, adding signage about physical distancing and increasing cleaning of frequently-touched surfaces.
