Blackfalds council approves lowered speed limit
Blackfalds drivers will soon be taking things a little bit slower.
Town council has approved a new Traffic Bylaw which will soon see a community-wide speed limit reduction from the current 50 km/hr to 40 km/hr, excluding Highway 2A and existing school and playground zones.
Mayor Richard Poole says the previous Traffic Bylaw had been in effect for roughly five years and now needed updating in hopes of increasing safety for residents.
