The Program

Traffic and pedestrian safety are priorities when Sturgeon County designs roads and intersections. Whether you are biking, walking or driving, the County is committed to ensuring that every aspect of its transportation network protects the well-being of all road users.

To expand on the existing mobility safety measures and create a broader and more coordinated approach to road safety, the County is developing a Mobility Safety Program. The Mobility Safety Program is a guidance document containing the vision and mission statements, fundamental principles, and short-term and long-term goals and objectives. It will establish clear targets, policies, and action plans to guide the County and its road safety partners in reducing fatal and serious injury collisions and creating safer roads for all travellers.

Community Response

Sturgeon County appreciates the community response to the request for Mobility Safety Measures. So far, feedback from the community has helped the County deliver key safety improvements in neighbourhoods across the County. In 2024, Sturgeon County approved its first Traffic Calming Policy, creating a solid foundation to respond to road safety concerns from residents and Council. Building on that progress, the County is now developing a Safe Mobility Strategy that will evolve into a broader Mobility Safety Program, keeping community input at the forefront as we continue working to improve safety for everyone, whether walking, biking, or driving.
