The County of Wellington officially introduced 9 Community Safety Zones across the Region.
The zones are sections of roadway where public safety is of special concern and speeding fines are doubled.
The initiative aims to modify driver behaviour and enhance public safety by encouraging slower speeds.
The decision on what roads to make CSZ’s were done with Dillion Consulting, where the County evaluated 48 road segments through Wellington County. Things such as a risk factor scoring system were used.
Community Safety Locations are:
- Fergus: Wellington Road 18 (Belsyde Ave. E) from Highway 6 (Tower St. S) to McTavish Street
- Elora: Wellington Road 18 (East Mill St.) from Chapel Street to Kertland Street
- Elora: Wellington Road 7 from Wellington Road 21 (McNab St.) to Speers Road
