Posted speed limits in nearly 200 Mississauga school zones will soon increase to 40 km/h

With the new amendments on local roads, City of Mississauga officials said the speed limit will remain 30 km/h from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, and outside that period will be increased to 40 km/h. The move was prompted by complaints from drivers that the 30 km/h limit was too low during times when there were no students and other people around.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think all residential streets (2 lanes) should be 40 km/h limit. What’s the point of ripping 50-60 beside parked cars and people?

Standard is 30kmph(or 20mph), 40 is honestly a bit too fast for a residential area, but yeah kinda depend on how wide the road of the place and whether it's directly in front of home or not. Anything beyond that is dangerous.
