Town of Drumheller

On Monday March 18th Council approved the new Tax incentive bylaws. You can check out their details here.  

 There has been a reduction in the speed on Highway 10X. to Wayne. The rational was based on the road and bridge conditions and that neither was designed for an 80 kmh speed limit. This can be shown by the accidents in the last few years where vehicles have left the roadway because of condition and speed. Below is the information we received from Alberta Transportation last year on their section of road.

"We have been working on the posted speed reduction on the above Hwy, we are applying to lower the limit from 80 Kilometres per hr to 50 kilometres per hr, this will bring the speed limit more in line with the curve and Bridge speed limits and also make the road safer for the motorbike traffic and hopefully eliminate the bike accidents that are occurring at the current speed limit of 80 KPH."
