The City of Waterloo has approved new traffic calming measures for four school zones where speed cameras were previously removed. The decision comes after community concerns about speeding near schools.
Details of the Plan
The measures include speed humps, raised crosswalks, and enhanced signage to slow down vehicles. These changes aim to improve safety for students and pedestrians.
Community Response
Residents have expressed support for the initiative, noting that the speed cameras were effective but controversial. The new measures are expected to be implemented by the end of the summer.
