The City’s Hey Neighbour traffic safety program works to address speeding concerns in residential neighbourhoods and aligns with the Council approved Vision Zero Strategy’s mission to reduce serious injuries and fatal collisions in Kamloops.

The City is taking a good neighbour approach to reduce speeding on residential streets—empowering residents to play an active role in reminding neighbours that driving too fast in their community isn’t acceptable.

The success of the program is dependent on buy-in from the residents in the neighbourhood. 

Residents must agree to post lawn signs calling for motorists to slow down. In order to achieve a strong neighbourhood impact, it is recommended that the signs be placed on every second property within a designated block for a period of up to three weeks.

The City will work with community associations to coordinate the program for specific neighbourhoods and will provide all lawn signs and forms. The program is intended for properties in residential neighbourhoods on local and some collector roads, not for arterial roads.
