Public Notice:  Reduced Speed Limit

Thursday, October 17, 2024: Effective today, the speed limit for the lower portion of Main Street Liverpool, from the intersection of School Street and Main Street to the conclusion of Main Street at Fort Point Lighthouse, has been reduced to 40 kilometres an hour.  Previously, the speed limit for the street was 50 kilometres per hour.   In June 2024, Region of Queens Municipality hired a consultant to complete a Speed Study Assessment of Main Street, Liverpool between School Street and Riverside Drive.  The study found that the 85^th percentile speed in that area was 42 kilometres per hour, and therefore, the recommendation of the report was to lower the speed limit to 40 kilometres per hour.  After receiving the recommendations of the report, the Region of Queens Traffic Authority made a request for the speed limit to be lowered to the Provincial Traffic Authority as per the Motor Vehicle Act.  Approval was received on October 15, 2024, and signage is being posted on the area of Main Street that has been impacted. The public are advised to obey the new speed limit which is now posted in this section of Main Street.
