Drivers on the Bedford Highway will notice new signage along the busy roadway as the municipality lowers speed limits.

Speed limits on the Bedford Highway are dropping from 60 km/h to 50 km/h between Southgate Dr. and Tremont Dr., and from Sherbrooke Dr. to the Windsor St. Exchange.

As of Wednesday morning, some signage had been posted to reflect the change, including a new 50 km/h sign at Sherbrooke Dr.

The HRM said in a news release on Monday “this change is a result of an assessment of the corridor, related to changes in conditions and activities along the roadway.”
