Preparing Vaughan’s Roads for Winter

Seasonal traffic-calming measures will be temporarily removed until spring

With ice and snow on their way, the City of Vaughan is hard at work preparing for the colder months. This includes temporarily removing some traffic-calming measures that interfere with our winter operations.

In the coming weeks, you will see flex signs, speed cushions and other seasonal traffic-calming measures removed to ensure snowplows, salters and other winter maintenance equipment can move safely and efficiently throughout the streets of Vaughan. The City does this every year and will reinstall them in the spring.

Road safety is a leading priority for the City, especially when protecting our most vulnerable road users. That is why a variety of permanent traffic-calming measures are in place in school zones year-round, including:

• radar message boards

• pavement markings (city-wide)

• enhanced school zone signage

• flashing beacons

Neighbourhood traffic calming is one of the many ways the City continues to improve road safety in Vaughan through the MoveSmart Mobility Management Strategy, which helps form and direct the City’s vision to continue providing a safer, more efficient and sustainable transportation system.
