Black Diamond will soon be up to speed with the rest of Diamond Valley regarding the town's speed limit.
At its July 17 meeting, Town of Diamond Valley council voted to set the speed limit throughout the town at 40 km/h unless otherwise posted.

The decision, which comes into effect on Sept. 1, primarily impacts Black Diamond, which has a speed limit of 50 km/h in place. Turner Valley's speed limit is currently 40 km/h unless otherwise posted.
The decision had initially been postponed until after the amalgamation of the two communities.
According to the Town of Diamond Valley, the cost of changing speed signage in the Black Diamond community is estimated to be $8,300.
The change is part of the ongoing Diamond Valley amalgamation process, with efforts continuing to be made to line up the communities of Black Diamond and Turner Valley.
