School & playground zones will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 7 days a week
August 5, 2022 - 8:30am
People in all neighbourhoods will be noticing new or updated signs around schools and playgrounds in preparation for changes that take effect next month. Starting September 1, 2022, school and new playground zones with maximum 30 km/h signs will change to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., 7 days a week.
The City encourages everyone who sees social media messages, billboards or hears about the reduced speed zone changes over the next month to share it with their family, friends and networks of people who aren’t yet aware.
This is the last summer that school zones won’t be in effect.
Some school and playground signs do not include a posted speed limit, such as around high schools and certain play areas. Drivers should treat the sign as a caution and pay close attention through this area.
U-turns are not permitted in school zones around elementary or high schools.
The new times will be shown on signs marking school and playground zones by the end of August and you can read more at saskatoon.ca/speedlimit.
