Hi Please help settle a good-natured argument among friends. MY FRIEND says that municipalities are OBLIGATED by the Province to post "begins" and "ends" signs to physically delimit Community Safety Zones (so-called "CSZ's"). I on the other hand, think that municipalities need only identify active CSZ's in the "Schedule" portion of their CSZ bylaw. Rather than pass a new bylaw every time they get approved for a new CSZ, municipalities can just keep using the same main document (often several years old) and just keep updating the CSZ-identifying "Schedule" to show street name, and approximate limits/boundaries of each zone using cross-streets, intersections, Cardinal directions and landmarks, for-reference. The sign posting, IMHO is just a favor to drivers, the vast majority who haven't visited a municipality's website, let-alone studied the current CSZ bylaw contained-within. Thanks for setting the record straight and helping to keep s'one well-stocked with his favorite beer. Cheers Ray (Left_Turners_R_Toast)

The "Signs" regulation made under the Highway Traffic Act (R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 615) is clear: Section 5.2 further specifies BEGINS and ENDS signage and also requires additional signs if the CSZ is 1 km or longer.
