Ontario Properties • Made in Canada • Rigid Aluminum • Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes
Post the speed limit you have chosen for your private road, laneway, campground loop, marina yard or parking lot. Each sign is produced to order on rigid aluminum with your speed value — you enter the km/h number during checkout, and the sign is made with that value in the familiar Ontario layout drivers already recognize.
Who Sets the Speed Limit on a Private Road?
You do. Section 128 of the Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8 sets speed limits for highways, and a private road, condominium laneway or commercial parking lot is generally not a highway under that definition. That means the province does not assign a speed limit to your property — the owner or property manager chooses the value and posts it. No regulation forces a private owner to post a specific number; the value on this sign is your decision for your site.
Posting a clear, visible limit is still one of the most common risk-control measures on private property. Occupiers in Ontario owe a duty under the Occupiers' Liability Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.2 to keep premises reasonably safe for people on them, and a posted speed limit is a practical, visible part of showing that care on roads you control. Typical owner-posted values are 10, 15, 20, 30 or 40 km/h depending on sight lines, pedestrian traffic and how the road is used.
Sizes and Materials
- 12″ × 18″ — the standard private-road size. Suits laneways, condo entrances, marina yards and most parking areas.
- 18″ × 24″ — the larger format for wider roads, higher approach speeds or posts set farther back from the travelled lane.
- Aluminum — rigid aluminum sign blank with premium outdoor vinyl graphics. Rated for years of outdoor exposure without rusting, cracking or peeling.
- Reflective Aluminum — the same rigid panel finished with engineer-grade reflective vinyl so the legend returns headlight glare and stays readable after dark. Recommended wherever the road is used at night.
Every sign ships with pre-drilled mounting holes, ready for a post, fence, wall or gate. Signs are printed and finished in Canada. Made in Canada, made to order.
How Ordering Works
- Pick your size and material above.
- Enter the speed limit to display in km/h — for example 15 — plus the quantity and locations you are posting.
- We produce your sign with that value and ship it ready to install.
Placement Guide
Post a sign at each entrance to the private road so the limit is visible before a driver builds speed, then repeat the sign roughly every 150–300 metres on longer roads and after major intersections or curves. Mount the panel so the bottom edge sits about 2 metres above grade where pedestrians pass beneath it, and keep the face square to approaching traffic. On gravel or cottage-association roads, a sign at the gate plus one at each fork covers most layouts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose any speed value?
Yes. Because the limit on a private road is owner-posted, you enter the exact km/h value you want at checkout. Most properties choose between 10 and 40 km/h.
Is a posted limit on a private road enforced by police?
Generally the Highway Traffic Act speed limit rules apply to highways rather than private property, so enforcement on your road is primarily a matter for the owner — through site rules, leases or condo bylaws. Some municipalities can extend certain rules to private property by agreement; check with your municipality if that matters for your site.
Which material should I pick?
Standard aluminum suits daytime-use lots and budget postings. Choose reflective aluminum for any road used after dark — the legend stays legible in headlights.
How is the sign mounted?
Each panel has pre-drilled holes sized for common sign bolts. It mounts to U-channel or square posts, wood posts, fences, walls or gates with ordinary hardware.
