Re: Metric Conversion of Traffic Signs

This report relates to By-laws 1556 and 1557 which are available for fourth and final reading at the Council, Meeting to be held Tuesday, September 6th, 1977.

During the past few weeks the Engineering Department has received directives and information from the Department of Highways and we are carrying out the metric conversion of traffic signs to tie in with the Department of Highways work as follows:

i. By Friday, September 2nd, 1977 information signs will be posted at the entrances to the City advising motorists that metric conversion will be taking place shortly. School zones and playground zones will be changed from 20 m.p.h. to 30 km/h.

; 2. Before September 16th, 1977 all speed limits will be changed to metric. The standard speed limit signs at the ertrances to the City will be changed to metric and the information signs will be changed to advise motorists that the metric conversion has taken place.

3. By September 3Cth, 1977 the survey crew and man working signs will be changed to metric-and the low clearances and bridge clearances will: also be changed to metric.
