News Releases

A 30 kilometre per hour (km/h) speed limit on the Dudley Street neighbourhood bikeway between Avenue P and Spadina Crescent will be in effect starting Monday September 30. The change is part of the City of Saskatoon’s ongoing commitment to improving road safety for all users. This marks the third neighbourhood bikeway to have a reduced speed limit implemented this year. It follows 23rd Street West and 14th Street East. 

The 30 km/h speed limit on Dudley Street helps create a safer, more comfortable environment for cyclists of all levels, supporting the City’s efforts to promote active transportation. New speed limit signage has been installed to inform drivers of the speed limit changes for this bikeway. 

The reduced speed limits on this key bikeway align with the policy approved by City Council in December 2023. The Dudley Street bikeway links the Meewasin Trail with surrounding residential neighborhoods, Gordie Howe sports complex and employment areas.
