Drivers will soon see speed limits drop in communities across Calgary

Residents of Lake Bonavista in Calgary will see reduced speed limits on several local roads, including Lake Bonavista Drive, Lake Crimson Drive, and Lake Sylvan Drive, which will be lowered from 50 km/h to 40 km/h. The changes are part of the City of Calgary's Vision Zero initiative, aimed at improving road safety and reducing fatal collisions. Local resident Megan Smith expressed relief, stating the measure would enhance the safety of children using the bus route. According to the city, a comprehensive review of over 700 roads identified nearly 300 locations where lower speed limits could increase safety and consistency. The city reported 21 fatal collisions in 2026, resulting in 25 deaths, with six involving pedestrians. Additional speed limit adjustments are planned for other neighborhoods within Ward 14.
