30 is the new 40

Banff has lowered the speed limit town-wide to 30 km/h, except where posted for slower speeds, such as the 200 block of Bear Street. The change makes it safer for everyone. Details: banff.ca/30kmh.

Town crews will be sweeping driving lanes, curbs, and any unoccupied parking zones for the next few weeks. If the weather cooperates, residential streets will be swept next. Keep an eye out for signs, and visit banff.ca/Alerts to sign up for future street alerts.
