THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF TILLSONBURG
BY-LAW 2020-106
A BY-LAW to amend By-Law 3701, being a by-law to regulate traffic and the
parking of motor vehicles in the Town of Tillsonburg.
WHEREAS it is deemed necessary and expedient to amend By-Law 3701.
BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED by the Council of the Corporation of the Town of
Tillsonburg as follows:
1. THAT Section 1 Definitions be amended to add the following definition:
“Community Safety Zone” Town Council may by by-law designate a part of a
highway under its jurisdiction as a community safety zone if, in the council's
opinion, public safety is of special concern on that part of the highway.
Further, Community Safety Zones may include roadways near schools, day care
centres, playgrounds, parks, hospitals and senior citizen residences. Community
Safety Zones may also be used for collision prone areas within a community.
2. THAT the following section be added under Part 1 Traffic:
Community Safety Zone:
a) Community Safety Zone signs inform drivers that they are entering a zone
that the community has designated as an area where the safety of its
children/citizens is paramount. Traffic related offences committed within the
zone are subject to increased fines (many set fines are doubled such as
speeding and traffic signal related offences).
b) All zones require a sign with a BEGINS tab indicating the start of the
designated area and a sign with an ENDS tab indicating where the zone
concludes. Additional signs may be located within the zone and are a legal
requirement for zones greater than 1000 metres in length.
c) For zones greater than 1000 metres in length, additional Community Safety
Zone signs are required within the limits of the zone. The spacing of
additional signs is dependent on the designated maximum speed limit of the
roadway. When the speed limit is 60 km/h or less, signs are required every
300 metres, or less. Where the speed limit is greater than 60 km/h, additional
signs are required)
