Abstract

This paper examines the effectiveness of school speed zones. In 2002, the City of Saskatoon reduced the speed limit in school zones to 30 km/h from the previous 50 km/h. The change was implemented at all elementary and high schools and was effective from from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday from September to June. This presented an opportunity for the Infrastructure Services Department of the City of Saskatoon to conduct a comprehensive "before and after" study to monitor and determine the resulting change in drivers' behavior and general compliance with the 30 km/h speed limit. A number of school locations throughout the city were selected for this study. Traffic volume and speed data were collected at these locations before and after the installation of school speed zones.
