The VPD can't enforce it unless there's signage. They can't put signs on every street due to costs. At this point it's only specific neighborhoods where signage is up. https://council.vancouver.ca/2025070...ents/pspc1.pdf

Not exactly the same, but I live across the street from a public park and elementary school. A speed camera, 30km/h signs, and speed bumps were implemented to slow people down from speeding.
People now drive faster and give zero fucks. No cops are around to enforce either.

Saanich has been putting "Residential Zone" 30km/h signs all over my neighbourhood, they put them at both ends of my street.
The signs don't bother me so much, people did rip across my street to get between the two main streets, and would go too fast in doing so. But speed bumps would be absolutely infuriating.
What does bother me is the reduction of all the main arterials surrounding me to 40km/h.

I realized about 6 months into living in Calgary and driving around everywhere here that there's no such thing as school zones anywhere in Calgary. The signs don't exist... they just put those yellow 30km/h park or children playing signs like BC has up around all schools and parks... which are literally fucking everywhere, even if it's a main road sometimes even on 4 lane roads. And they're all until 9pm which is extra annoying.

Since we're talking infrastructure, COV installed traffic lights at Slocan and 22nd. They're not active yet... Too late for SSM_DC5 though.

i asked my friend about it, they also ticket people turning in front of pedestrians crossing the street - you have to let them cross first, THEN you can turn. and it's enforced with ticketing.

Seems like traffic laws in AB and SK are actually enforced.
Went to visit my friend in Regina and was wondering why he was driving close to 50 on the dot. He told me he got a few tickets for going 60.
He recently moved back here and still drives like a turtle, lol.
