Lanark County reminds drivers to reduce speeds in construction zones.
A local by-law allows the director of public works to lower speed limits to protect both workers and motorists. According to the Highway Traffic Act, municipalities can designate construction zones and double fines for speeding when workers are present.
Once a construction zone is designated, it will be marked with signs as required. Drivers should observe posted speeds to ensure safety. Remember, slower speeds help protect everyone on the road. Stay alert and safe in Lanark County’s construction zones!
