Support 30 kph Speed Limits in BC
Cyclists and pedestrians are being needlessly killed and injured on B.C. roads. You can help change that.
Donate now to support our campaign for 30 km/hr speed limits on all residential streets across British Columbia. Your contribution will help save lives and create safer communities for everyone.
Why 30 kph?
Lowering speed limits dramatically reduces the risk of collisions and the severity of injuries.
Survival Rates: A pedestrian struck by a vehicle at 50 km/hr has only a 20% chance of survival. At 30 km/hr, that chance increases to 90%.
Proven Results: In European cities, 30 km/hr speed limits have led to a 23% reduction in crashes, a 37% reduction in fatalities, and a 38% reduction in injuries.
Local Impact: A Toronto study showed a 67% decrease in major and fatal injuries after implementing 30 km/hr limits.
Slower speeds also encourage more people to walk and cycle, leading to healthier communities, cleaner air, and quieter neighbourhoods.
Why Provincial Action is Needed
Currently, individual municipalities must implement 30 km/hr speed limits, creating inconsistencies and barriers to widespread adoption. We need the provincial government to take action and make 30 km/hr the default speed limit on all residential streets.
Expert Support: BC Provincial Health Officers have been advocating for this change since 2016.
Public Demand: Two-thirds of British Columbians support 30 km/hr speed limits.
