Traffic Calming in School Zones on Major Collector and Minor Arterial Roads

2026 projects

Traffic calming projects being undertaken in 2026 by the Town to improve road safety in school zones.

The Town of Oakville will begin implementing traffic calming measures in school zones on major collector and minor arterial roadways this summer. 

The project will include the design and implementation of traffic calming measures in three school zones: 

1. James W. Hill Public School on Kingsway Drive from Clearview Drive/Wynten Way to 50m north of Prince John Circle
2. St. Luke Catholic Elementary School on Kingsway Drive from 40m south of Harewood Court to 40m north of Huntington Trail
3. Pilgrim Wood Public School on Pilgrims Way from Mapleridge Crescent/Pineway Court to Blackburn Drive

This initiative is part of the Neighbourhood Traffic Safety Program, aimed at making school zones safer by reducing speeding in areas frequented by children and other residents.

• Raised medians, raised centre median, bollards, a gateway feature on the east side, and eastbound lateral shift for St. James W. Hill Public School site
