Saugeen Shores has changed the speed limit on the North Shore Road and Miramichi Bay Road between Port Elgin and Southampton.
The Town explains, that back in 2020, with the goal of enhancing public safety during reconstruction of the Town’s multi-use trail network, temporary 30 km/h zones were created on North Shore Road and Miramichi Bay Road.
The picturesque, winding roads that connect to one another along the Lake Huron Shoreline have a paved trail system that runs alongside them. In 2020, erosion from waves significantly damaged that trail, and repair work was needed to protect the trail and the road.
Now that the work is finished, the speed limit has reverted back to its original designation of 40 km/h.
