Drivers in South Huron are being reminded of new speed limits now in effect across urban areas. The Municipality of South Huron has reduced the standard speed limit to 40 km/h in most built-up areas to improve community safety.
New speed signs are being installed this week, and once in place, the limits are legally enforced. There are some exceptions, including a 50 km/h zone on Huron Street East heading toward Morrison Line, a 60 km/h zone on Goshen Line north of Crediton Road, and a 20 km/h zone near the hospital on Huron Street West between Main and William streets.
Several streets have also been designated as Community Safety Zones with a limit of 30 km/h. These include areas around schools, residential neighborhoods, and other locations where pedestrian safety is a priority.
The updated rules are part of By-law 52-2025, which sets out speed limits for settlement areas in South Huron. Municipal officials say the changes are aimed at creating safer streets for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
