The Corporation of the Municipality of South Huron
By-Law 52-2025
Being a By-Law to Prescribe a Rate of Speed for Motor Vehicles Driven within
Settlement Areas in the Municipality of South Huron
Whereas The Municipal Act S.0. 2001, Section 27 (1) provides that a municipality may pass
by-laws in respect of a highway only if it has jurisdiction over the highway; and
Whereas The Highway Traffic Act R.S.0. 1990, c. H. 8 Section 128 (2) provides that the
council of a municipality may, for motor vehicles driven on a highway or portion of a highway
under its jurisdiction, by By-law prescribe a rate of speed different from the rate set out in
subsection (1); and
Whereas The Highway Traffic Act R.S.0. 1990, Section 1 (1) definition for "highway" includes
a common and public highway, street, avenue; parkway, driveway, square, place, bridge,
viaduct or trestle, any part of which is intended for or used by the general public for the
passage of vehicles and includes the area between the lateral property lines thereof; and
Whereas the Council of the Municipality of South Huron deems it expedient to ensure the
safety of the public by reducing the speed limit on all urban areas and streets that are under
the Jurisdiction of the Municipality of South Huron.
Now therefore be it resolved that the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of South
Huron enacts as follows:
1. That the rate of speed be set at 40 kilometres per hour for motor vehicles driven
on all streets located within a settlement area, as set out in the Municipal Official
Plan, that are under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of South Huron, save and
except for
a. Community Safety Zones as set out in Schedule "A" be set at 30
kilometres per hour
b. Huron Street East, heading towards Morrison Line (1km west from
Morrison Line), be set at 50 kilometres per hour; and
c. Goshen Line, 400 meters North of Crediton Road, be set at 60 kilometres
per hour.
d. Huron Street West, from Main Street to William Street, to be set at 20
kilometres per hour.
2. That this bylaw does not apply to any streets within a settlement area, as set out
in the Municipal Official Plan, that fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of
Transportation or Huron County.
3. That penalties provided in the Highway Traffic Act Section 128 (14) shall apply to
every person who contravenes this by-law.
4. This by-law takes effect upon the date that the highway or portion thereof
affected by it is signed in accordance with the Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990
and its regulations.
