At roughly noon, an officer in the Hilliard Street and Marina Boulevard area recorded the vehicle going 57 km/h over the speed limit.

The Peterborough male was charged with stunt driving, issued a 30-day license suspension and a 14-day vehicle impoundment. 

The Peterborough Police Service reminds residents that Hilliard Street and several others facing schools within the City of Peterborough have now been designated as Community Safety Zones since early December.

A Community Safety Zone is designated for a lower speed limit, which means that fines for related offences, such as speeding, will increase. For example, driving 20km/hr over the posted limit would cost a driver $180 instead of $95.
