Winnipeg Posted Speed Limits With Jurisdiction Data

Posted speed limits for streets within the City of Winnipeg's jurisdiction are provided. The dataset is derived from municipal by-laws and excludes school zones and provincial highways. It was published by data.winnipeg.ca and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map speed limit zones by joining `Street Name`, `Begin Measure`, and `End Measure` with a base LRS layer for network analysis.
• Analyze the distribution of `Speed Limit` values (e.g., 50 km/h, 60 km/h) across different `Speed Limit Jurisdiction` types.
• Validate or update traffic simulation models using the `Location` and `Speed Limit Description` fields for specific road segments.

Strengths

• Data is officially sourced from specific City of Winnipeg by-laws, providing legal authority.
• Contains 9 defined columns including geospatial measures (`Begin Measure`, `End Measure`) for precise location.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of completeness.
• Excludes reduced-speed school zones and speed limits above 90 km/h enacted by provincial law, creating a partial view.
• Temporal coverage of the speed limit rules is not specified, only the dataset's update date is known.
