In response to residents’ concerns, King council has decided to reduce the speed on Mill Road just east of Nobleton.
Mill Road, between King Road and the King Vaughan boundary, will soon have a posted 50 km-h speed limit.
The gravel road has many curves and inherent dangers for the existing 60 km-h limit. There has been at least one fatal accident there.
Staff noted the sightlines are short due to the “challenging” road alignments, sharp turns, bends and steep slopes. A few hidden entrances require drivers to be cautious.
Lowering the speed limit will improve road safety, especially during the winter season.
Both Mayor Steve Pellegrini and Councillor David Boyd have driven the road, taking note of the dangers.

The King Township Food Bank (KTFB) is facing an alarming rise in demand for its services, and the organization is calling on the community for urgent support to continue meeting the growing needs of local families. Since its founding in 2004, the food bank has been a vital resource for residents struggling to put food on the table. Despite King Township’s reputation as a wealthy area, food insecurity has long been a reality for many, particularly lower-income families, rural workers, and seniors on fixed incomes. This year, the need has skyrocketed, with the food bank reporting a 66% increase in individuals served since the beginning of 2023.
