What the law covers

Municipal traffic bylaws and signed limits govern school zones in Longueuil; permanent and temporary signs set the enforceable speed for each location. Local authorities coordinate sign placement, crossing guards and enforcement with police and by-law officers. For city regulations and procedural details see the municipal traffic page[1] and the city crossing-guard information[2].

Always obey posted school zone signs and watch for children during school hours.

Enforcement of school zone speed limits and crossing guard-related rules is handled by Longueuil by-law officers and the regional police service. The city page on traffic regulations identifies the enforcing department but does not list all fine amounts; where figures are not published on the cited page the text below notes that explicitly and points to the enforcement contact.

  • Fine amounts: not specified on the cited page[1].
  • Escalation (first/repeat/continuing offences): not specified on the cited page[1].
