City deploys portable speed display signs to assist with traffic calming measures

The City of Saint John is using another tool to help our streets become safer for active transportation and other roadway users. 

Residents will notice portable speed display signs on various streets where the community has expressed concerns about speeding. The signs will notify motorists when they are speeding and encourage them to slow down to the posted speed limit. The signs will also collect speed data to help measure performance of this new tool. 

These signs are meant to help immediately address community concerns about speeding and will be further augmented in some areas when the City’s Traffic Calming Policy can be applied where more permanent measures are needed. 

Please contact the City’s Customer Service Centre at (506) 658-4455 if you are concerned about speeding on your street and would like to be part of this program.
