Driving in Mount Pearl – Tips to keep you on the road.
SLOW DOWN FOR EVERYONE’S SAFETY.
Mount Pearl consists of many residential neighbourhoods, over 50km of walking trails, over 50 playgrounds and play courts and eight schools. The city implements school safety patrols in the mornings and in the evenings on weekdays, regular radar patrol in areas known for higher driving speeds, mobile digital traffic signs displayed throughout the community to bring awareness to drivers’ speeds and targets traffic operations in partnership with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.
BE AWARE OF WINTER PARKING RESTRICTIONS.
Mount Pearl implements a parking ban every winter in aid of snow clearing operations. All street parking is banned from December 1-March 31 between the hours of 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. Any vehicle unattended parked on any street against the regulations may be removed and impounded at the owner’s expense, and a fine will be given for non-compliance.
PRACTICE THE MOVE OVER LAW.
As in all of Newfoundland, Mount Pearl is very strict with the Move Over Law. This law applies when a designated vehicle is stopped and operating its red, blue or amber lights or has other traffic warning signals displayed. The general rule is to create a buffer lane by slowing down and putting as much distance between the driver and the stopped vehicle. If there is another lane going in the same direction and it is safe to do so, the driver must slow down and change lanes so there is a full lane between the driver and the stopped vehicle. If a second lane isn’t available, the driver must put as much distance between the vehicle and the designated vehicle that is safely possible.
FIND YOUR SPEED.
With the city continuing to grow, it has prioritized safety initiatives and traffic calming measures throughout. They continuously update a map embedded on the Mount Pearl website that collects speed data for various streets so residents can see what the average driving speed is in their neighbourhood.

Our Latest Advice
6 Tips To Shop Safely Online
Today is Cyber Monday, and it feels like every website has incredible deals. Shopping online makes it easy to find the best sales and avoid going to busy stores! However, shopping online does come with some cyber risks. So it is essential to take steps to protect yourself anytime you enter personal information online.
1. Use Familiar Websites – Do you know the site you’re visiting? Use a trusted site. Knowing the site and the business makes you more likely to shop online safely. If you are not sure if a site is legitimate, maybe it’s a new small business, call them to verify.
2. Only Shop HTTPS – Never buy anything online using your credit card from a site that doesn’t have SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption installed. You’ll know if the site has SSL because the URL for the site will start with HTTPS – instead of just HTTP.
3. Don’t Overshare – Consider what information a company needs for you to make a purchase. Even if the purchase transaction is safe, well-established companies can still experience data breaches.
4. Check Statements Regularly – Don’t wait for your bill to come at the end of the month. Go online regularly, especially during the holiday season, to view electronic statements for your credit card, debit card, and checking accounts.
5. Only Shop Online with a Credit Card – If your debit card is compromised, cybercriminals will have direct access to your bank funds.
6. Use Caution When Shopping Online on Public Networks – Be extra careful when shopping on public Wi-Fi or hotspots, as they are not always secure and are easier to hack. In addition, if you are at your local coffee shop doing some holiday shopping, be aware when you have to enter the credit card number, expiration date and 3-digit code into a site because you’re giving an over-the-shoulder snooper plenty of time to copy the information.
When in doubt, do your research, call the business, look up their online reviews, or check their status on the Better Business Bureau.
