Discrepancy Betw Bylaw And Posted Signs, About The Extents Of A Csz

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
