Project update: Summer 2025

Implementation of 40 km/h speed limits is now underway in Kingston’s central core area, as part of the Neighbourhood Area Speed Limit project. This work supports safer streets for everyone, whether walking, cycling or driving.

Over the coming weeks, new ‘AREA’ 40 km/h speed limit signs will be installed at key entry points to the central core, which includes Queen’s University and downtown Kingston. A consistent 40 km/h speed limit will apply to all roads in this area, with speed limits further reduced to 30 km/h in front of schools on local roads.

Since the last update, speed limit signs have also been installed in the following neighbourhoods:

Calvin Park
Inner Harbour (partial)
West Village
Greenwood Park

The City will continue to use roadside and digital messaging to help raise awareness and encourage compliance in areas where changes are taking place.
