If you needed another reason to take your foot off the gas, Wellington County is giving you some more.
Stretches of nine roads have been designated as community safety zones. County council okayed the designations earlier this year, and they came into effect today. Speeding through those areas can bring double the usual fines. The areas are marked with white signs, with black lettering. And they’re in effect 24 hours a day!
Wellington County Warden Kelly Linton was with OPP as one of the signs was installed.
Here are the stretches of road now designated:
Fergus: Wellington Road 18/Belsyde Avenue East from Highway 6/Tower Street South to McTavish Street.
Elora: Wellington Road 18/East Mill Street from Chapel Street to Kertland Street.
