Posted speed limits in nearly 200 Mississauga school zones will soon increase to 40 km/h
With the new amendments on local roads, City of Mississauga officials said the speed limit will remain 30 km/h from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, and outside that period will be increased to 40 km/h. The move was prompted by complaints from drivers that the 30 km/h limit was too low during times when there were no students and other people around.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think all residential streets (2 lanes) should be 40 km/h limit. What’s the point of ripping 50-60 beside parked cars and people?
Isn’t that normal that school zone speeds are only in effect during and around schooltime?
Seriously. In BC it’s 50km/h outside school hours (8am-5pm) or days. Unless signed otherwise, but I’ve never seen one different.
In Alberta, I believe playground zones are in effect until 9 pm. Makes sense in the summer, not so much in the winter. I don’t think something like Smith Ave in Burnaby should be 50 km/h though.
