Further speed limit reductions are coming to Hamilton’s Red Hill Valley Parkway.
Starting Monday, the city says the speed limit will be set at 80 km/h along the entire stretch of the parkway, from the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) to Dartnall Road.
The speed limit is already 80 km/h between the QEW and Greenhill Avenue, but increases to 90 km/h along the upper portion.
The city says motorists, and drivers of large trucks in the downhill lanes, have difficulty adjusting to the change.
“Changing the speed limit to 80km/hr beginning at the top of the hill will facilitate compliance with the posted speed limit,” reads a media release from the city. “Hamilton Police Services will be enforcing the new speed limit for the entire length of the RHVP beginning Monday.”
Some rolling closures on the parkway are expected over the weekend while crews install new signage indicating the new speed limit.
