Share your thoughts: York Region's Sign Bylaw

York Region is reviewing its Signs on Regional Roads Bylaw. A virtual Public Information Meeting took place on Thursday, March 27, 2025, to get feedback from the public through an interactive online tool to help propose amendments to the current bylaw.

Through a review of the existing sign bylaw with the current 1,950 sign locations available, numerous safety concerns have been identified. These include signs obstructing visibility or movement for vehicles and pedestrians, interfering with warning devices, railway, traffic, and municipal street signs, and posing safety risks for all road users, including motorists, pedestrians, transit riders, residents, and businesses along Regional roads. Additionally, there are areas where signs can cause impacts and safety concerns for road maintenance and improvements being completed on Regional roads.

Our goal is to ensure the bylaw complies with provincial legislation and is designed primarily to enhance public safety.

A recording of the virtual public information meeting is now available and public feedback is being collected until Friday, April 18, 2025.
