Changes are coming to school zones in Lethbridge this year. Starting on Sept. 5, all school zones will become year-round playground zones with a 30 km/hour maximum speed limit from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
Council approved the change earlier this year after the city heard from more than 2,000 residents on the project.
“Everyone wants to live in a community where they feel safe to walk, drive and bike safely,” says Ali. “Community feedback is important in developing how we plan for the future when it comes to road safety and mobility.”
