Stratford在拒绝该计划两年后,再次提出将住宅速度限制降低到40公里/小时,以达到安全目的。 Stratford revisits lowering residential speed limits to 40 km/h for safety, two years after rejecting the plan.

Stratford市议会正在重新考虑2023年的一份工作人员报告,其中建议将住宅速度限制从每小时50公里降低到每小时40公里,这是环境团体Climate Momentum的一项请愿和理事会关于结束讨论的动议促成的。 Stratford city council is reconsidering a 2023 staff report that recommended lowering residential speed limits from 50 km/h to 40 km/h, prompted by a petition from the environmental group Climate Momentum and a council motion to end the discussion. 该提案最初于2021年提出,旨在改善行人的安全,工作人员指出,碰撞中存活率以较低速度从40%上升到75%。 The proposal, first raised in 2021, aims to improve pedestrian safety, with staff noting survival rates in collisions could rise from 40% to 75% at the lower speed. 一项2023年的调查显示,公众支持情况好坏参半,38%赞成,50%反对,这主要是因为对执法的担心。 A 2023 survey showed mixed public support, with 38% in favor and 50% opposed, largely due to concerns about enforcement. 市政府的基建主任说,报告的回报来源于公众和议会的重新兴趣,尽管还没有作出任何决定。 The city’s infrastructure director said the report’s return stems from renewed public and council interest, though no decision has been made. 实施两年前的变革将花费235 000美元,用于220个新标志。 Implementing the change two years ago would have cost $235,000 for 220 new signs.
