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.

Making this about school zones is totally disingenuous. Children are not walking to and from school outside of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

There are reasons to be opposed to this, but it being done in school zones is not one of them.
