New Oshawa 40 km/h neighbourhoods now in effect

Update: Maps of the 40 km/h zones are now included.

To help improve community safety, the City of Oshawa has introduced new reduced speed limits in select Oshawa neighbourhoods.

The 40 km/h area pilot program lowers speed limits that are typically 50 km/h to 40 km/h in five neighbourhoods across the city approximately within these boundaries:

• Ward 1 - Conlin Rd. E., Townline Rd. N., Taunton Rd. E., and Harmony Rd. N. (map), 
• Ward 2 - Taunton Rd. E., Ritson Rd. N., Rossland Rd. E., and Simcoe St. S. (map),
• Ward 3 - Aldsworth Cres., Townline Rd. N., Adelaide Ave. E., and Langford St. (map),
• Ward 4 - Adelaide Ave. E., Ritson Rd., John St., and the Oshawa Creek (map), and 
• Ward 5 - Cherrydown Dr., Townline Rd. S., Bloor St. E., and Grandview St. S. (map)

New “40 km/h Area” signage are installed at entrances and exits to all neighbourhoods to indicate where the 40 km/h area speed limits are in effect. Maps of each area are available on the City’s website.

The 40 km/h area pilot program was an approved recommendation from the City’s new Neighbourhood Traffic Management Guide, which was updated in 2022 in a process involving two phases of public consultations.

Following the pilot program, City staff will report their findings and make recommendations for a program regarding future 40 km/h areas throughout Oshawa.
