40 is the new 50

Since June 2023, many Lindsay streets have dropped from 50 to 40 km/h. Not every road changed. A 40 area sign marks where a zone starts and ends. Streets inside the zone have no signs of their own, so hold 40 until you pass an end sign.

The DriveTest centre is at 401 Kent Street West, Unit 20, in Lindsay Square Mall. Road tests run Monday to Saturday, 8 am to 5 pm. Check your confirmation for the entrance and parking area.
