## Community Rules & Regulations
Our bylaws help protect the peace, safety, and beauty of Bonnyville Beach. We encourage all residents and guests to stay informed and follow the guidelines in place.
## Why Bylaws Matter
Bylaws help maintain safety, order, and environmental quality in our quiet beach community.
Municipalities have bylaws to regulate local matters, manage community affairs, and ensure public order and safety. Bylaws, which are based on provincial authority, provide a framework for things like land use, noise levels, parking, animal control, and business operations, helping to maintain community standards and quality of life.
Bylaws, as presented here, have no legal sanction and are presented solely for the purpose of research and ease of reference. If you require a certified copy of a bylaw, please contact the Summer Village of Bonnyville Beach.

## Speeding & Road Safety
### **Are YOU Speeding?**
Speeding threatens safety. We are always working on increased enforcement of speed limits with the RCMP.
There are three speed limits in the Summer Village: 50 km/hour on the main Bonnyville Beach road, 30 km/hour on Perch Close and Walleye Way and 15 km/hour on the inside lane. The Village recently purchased two more speed recording signs to monitor speeding. Please do your part and spread the word to family, friends and guests to slow down. This applies to all vehicles, dirt bikes, motor bikes, ATV's and quads. Please do not race or speed with ATVs or dirt bikes in the ditches - it causes damage and it is dangerous.
**Speed Limits:**
* Main Road Speed Limit: 50 km/hour
* Walleye Way & Perch Close: 30 km/hour
* Lanes: 15 km/hour (including ATVs and off-road vehicles)
⚠️ Please do not drive ATVs or dirt bikes in the ditches - it causes costly damage.
