SECURITY

THIS SUMMER, I SHARE THE ROAD Throughout the summer, the City invites you to safely share the road. Whether you’re on foot, riding a bike or travelling by car, make sure you are visible, obey traffic signs and be courteous to make the streets more user-friendly and safe.

A campaign will be carried out on social media to remind people of good behaviour to adopt. In addition, speed displays will be set up as of early June at various locations in the City, based on recommendations from citizens. An invitation to slow down on our streets!

SIGHT TRIANGLE

If your property is located on a street corner, a sight triangle must be kept clear at all times for the safety of all road users. It is a mandatory clearance zone to ensure a clear field of vision for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians for everyone’s safety. Since January 2015, planting new trees, shrubs or hedges within the sight triangle is prohibited.

WHAT IS PERMITTED IN THIS ZONE?

•Any existing fences, hedges, or landscaping elements with a maximum height of 91 centimetres (3 feet) measured from the street level • Any existing trees with no branches or leaves 1 to 3 metres (3 to 10 feet) above the public right-of-way
