New advocacy group calls for lower speed limits on Edmonton's residential streets
A new advocacy group is calling for lower speed limits on residential areas and trying to demonstrate just how often people walking and biking are injured on Edmonton’s roads.
Three people are hit and either injured or killed every two days on Edmonton’s streets, more than 5,400 people in the last 10 years, said Conrad Nobert, one of the founders of a new safe streets advocacy group called Paths for People.
The group is calling for 30 km/h speed limits on residential side streets (not collector or arterial roads), and road design that considers all users for road renewal projects and in new neighbourhoods.
