Traffic Calming Projects in School Zones for 2024
Traffic calming projects are being undertaken 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 includes the construction and implementation of traffic calming measures in four school zones:
- Oodenawi Public School on Sixteen Mile Drive from Harebell Gate to Trailside Drive
