PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO TRAFFIC BYLAW NO. 5870 TO REMOVE 60 KM/H SPEED ZONES

Vehicles Speeds: The speed data collected indicates excessive speeds with an 85th percentile speed of approximately 70 km/h in both directions on this section of No. 6 Rd. The RCMP have targeted enforcement along No. 6 Road numerous times over the last year. To date in 2022, Richmond RCMP repo11 there have been 37 road safety enforcement actions on or at No. 6 Rd with 12 related to speed. Crash Data: ICBC crash data was reviewed for this section of No. 6 Rd. The highest umber of collisions occmTed at the intersections of Cambie Road and Westminster Highway. Speeding is a top contributing factor of vehicle collisions. As a result of the speed limit analysis, Staff recommend a constant and lower speed limit between Westminster Highway and Cambie Road of 50 km/h. This will establish consistent driver expectation along the entire length of No. 6 Road without decreasing road capacity. To properly identify speed limits to motorists, appropriate signage is required. As there is currently 60 km/h posted speed signs on this section ofroadway, these signs will be replaced with 50 km/h signs. Staff will coordinate with the Ministry of Transp011ation to replace signage as required within their jurisdiction necessary for the 50 km/h speed zone implementation.
