Speed humps, other ways to slow down fast drivers may come to these Mississauga roads

In an effort to clamp down on speeding and other aggressive driving behaviour, Mississauga officials have identified at least nine locations across the city where physical traffic calming measures such as speed humps and raised pedestrian crossings will likely be installed this year. 

The recommendation from senior City of Mississauga staff to implement the road safety measures at locations in wards 1, 4, 5, 8 and 10 will be discussed next Wednesday at general committee.

Sam Rogers, the city’s transportation and works commissioner, said in a report the various stretches of roads have been identified by staff as priority areas where physical traffic calming is needed “to address issues of confirmed speeding and aggressive driving behaviour.”

He noted staff regularly review roads in response to residents’ concerns related to speeding, aggressive driving and “traffic infiltration on local roadways within residential neighbourhoods.”

Staff then consult with the respective ward councillors “in developing plans that would address the issues and reduce speeding on the roadway,” Rogers added.

The following locations have been identified for installation of physical traffic calming features in 2026:

• Haig Boulevard (Ward 1)
• Melton Drive (Ward 1)
• Pinewood Trail (Ward 1)
• Port Street East (Ward 1)
• Kingsbridge Garden Circle (Ward 4)
• Guildwood Way (Ward 4)
• Heritage Hills Boulevard (Ward 5)
• Loyalist Drive (Ward 8)
• Churchill Meadows Boulevard (Ward 10)

In addition, three other spots in wards 1, 4 and 10 were recommended by the respective city councillors for traffic calming measures.

Staff said no concerns have been raised by municipal services, emergency services or MiWay transit regarding the proposed traffic calming measures.

Additionally, Rogers noted in his report, residents were given an opportunity to provide feedback and “no significant opposition was received from residents who engaged in the consultation for each project.”

Looking back to 2025, the city installed traffic calming measures on 21 roadways, with initial follow-up studies showing “significant impacts on the overall operating speeds,” the report stated.

“We have observed an average of 10 km/h decrease in the operating speeds and an average of 25 per cent increase in speed limit compliance where physical traffic calming measures were installed,” Rogers said.

Physical traffic calming measures can include speed bumps (higher than both humps and cushions), speed humps, speed cushions, raised pedestrian crossings, roundabouts, traffic circles and curb extensions, among other road features.
