Additional speed humps were implemented in 2017, within the 40 km/h speed zone on Lhotsky Street, to slow travelling speeds and provide a self-regulating travel speed environment for motorists. The 20km/h speed advisory signs are also provided to inform motorists of the desirable and comfortable speed to travel through and over these traffic calming devices.
