Speed Limit in Forrest Reduced to 50 km/h for Safety

The Manitoba government has lowered the speed limit on Highway 10 through the village of Forrest to 50 km/h, a move that local officials and residents say has been a long time coming.

The reduction, which took effect earlier this week, replaces the previous 70 km/h zone and is aimed at improving safety for pedestrians, particularly students crossing the highway between Elton Collegiate and Forrest Elementary School.

The new traffic pattern now flows from 100 km/h outside the community, to 70 km/h on the outskirts, and down to 50 km/h through Forrest.
