Slow Down Sign program

The City of Brantford, in partnership with the Neighbourhood Alliance of Brantford (NAB), is pleased to provide free ‘Slow Down’ lawn signs to residents, while supplies last. The signs are intended to enhance roadway safety by reminding motorists to drive slower through residential neighbourhoods.

Brantford residents can now pick up free Slow Down lawn signs at Brantford’s City Hall at the Customer Service counter, located at 58 Dalhousie Street. Signs are available for pick-up anytime from Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Signs are only available to Brantford residents and limited to one sign per household, while supplies last. Residents are kindly asked to bring photo identification with them that includes their Brantford address when they pick up their sign. Slow Down signs are not enforceable by police however, enforcement of the legal posted speed limit is.

Residents can post a Slow Down sign year-round, however it is suggested that they be posted until November and stored indoors during the winter months to maximize visibility and reduce wear and tear of the sign so it can be reused.

Residents are asked to place the sign in front of their own household, on personal property only, and set back 1m/3.2 ft from the street line, using only the supplied wire frame. Please do not add reflective tape or illumination to the sign. All signs should be placed at least three metres away from fire hydrants and cannot obstruct any pedestrian, cyclist or driver sight lines.

For questions, or for more information, please contact the City of Brantford’s Customer Service team at 519-759-4150.

The Slow Down lawn sign program was initiated in 2022 by local Neighbourhood Associations in an effort to address vehicle speed concerns of Brantford residents and help reduce speed through neighbourhoods.
