The Safe Speeds Toolkit is one important action within the Safe Mobility Strategy 2021-2025, Edmonton’s approach to advancing Vision Zero.
Use the Safe Speeds Toolkit to address concerns about speeding in your neighbourhood and support the implementation of the new 40 km/h default speed limit.
Available tools include portable driver feedback signs, creative signage, information to educate and communicate about speeding issues, and a mechanism to request automated enforcement presence. Be part of the change!
Safety is a priority for the City of Edmonton. Safe speeds are essential to achieving Vision Zero by eliminating traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries on Edmonton streets and creating a healthy, vibrant city for everyone.
Use community signs to remind people to slow down and look out for each other:
Along with community signage, educational resources are available to support healthy conversations with your friends and neighbours about safe speeds:

Driver feedback signs alert drivers to their current speed and encourage them to slow down if they are traveling above the speed limit. These signs have been shown to reduce speed and collisions and improve safety. They also let drivers know that safe streets are important to your community.
As part of your Safe Speeds Toolkit, the City of Edmonton may recommend that a portable driver feedback sign be temporarily placed in your community. Portable driver feedback signs (DFS), also known as speed trailers, provide real-time information that show drivers how fast they are going and can typically be placed on boulevards in residential communities, in parks or construction zones, in high risk locations or on collector and arterial roads where speeding is problematic.
The City may schedule additional automated enforcement at locations where your community has noticed speed concerns.
Automated enforcement can only be scheduled if there is an existing enforcement site in the area where speed concerns have been observed. Enforcement locations are established based on provincial guidelines, and new sites cannot be added at this time due to a moratorium in place through the Province of Alberta.
The City of Edmonton collaborates with the Edmonton Police Service and recommends in person enforcement when other actions from the Safe Speeds Toolkit haven't resolved neighbourhood driver behaviour concerns and where other data suggests this would be beneficial.
Tell us more about your experience with speed in your neighbourhood and let us know which tool(s) you might like to try from the Safe Speeds Toolkit through this form.
Seasonal Note: The Community Signs and Centerline signs program has been put on pause for the winter months. Signage will be available to order beginning May long weekend 2022.
