Traffic safety continues to be a top priority for Councillor Elliott, and something that he wants to make a key focus during his time on Council.
As our office continues to receive requests for traffic safety measures and increased enforcement across the Ward, we would like to share the following information with our constituents:
Traffic Safety Measure Requests
The Safe Mobility Team has created the Safe Streets Map, which will show all of the traffic safety measures coming to the City in 2026. We would like to encourage residents to view this so that you can be aware of what changes will be coming to your neighbourhood. Please note that speed bump locations for 2026 have already been determined, however, the City is starting to compile data on which locations will receive a speed bump in 2027, pending Council’s decisions at the 4-year Budget Deliberations this Fall.
The City will implement speed bumps based on a number of different factors, including:
- Public inquiries
- The roadway was identified as a high-speed, high traffic volume, high vulnerable road user volume, such as playground zone or high crash area
- Other areas that were identified originally through the Street Labs program
- Some were identified through previous assessments for other safety measures
If the City receives a high number of inquiries for a specific location, it is more likely that traffic calming measures will be implemented. The best way for the City to track this data is through 311. You can contact 311 in the following ways:
- Submitting an online request by clicking here
- Dialing 311 (outside of Edmonton - 780-442-5311)
- Download the 311 App and submit your request there, details can be found here
EPS Enforcement
The Edmonton Police Service is best positioned to address speeding and other poor driving behaviours in the area. City Administration strongly recommends residents submit concerns directly to the EPS Traffic Section using their Online Traffic Concern Form. This data is vital for the strategic deployment of enforcement resources. Please note that Councillors do not have the authority to direct officers to specific areas.
Portable Speed Signs
These signs alert drivers to their current speed and encourage them to slow down, helping to change the culture around speeding. Residents can request a temporary two-week deployment via our Speed Check Sign request form. Please note these signs are in high demand, and Administration will work as quickly as possible to honor city-wide requests.
