| Neighbourhood Road and Driving Safety |
One of our members wrote:
“I have been
experiencing very frequently, residents in
our neighbourhood making very bad left
turns onto 14th from Boxwood Cres. They
expect the oncoming traffic, who have the
right of way, to yield to them. I had to honk
my horn several times. Last week alone it
happened twice in 2 days.”
Mr. Khan wrote to say:
“This is a major
safety issue. The Town says that it installs
lights to stop traffic, not calm it so therefore
it is completely appropriate to tell them that
we need traffic stopped at that intersection
so that we can turn out of the neighbourhood
without being blindsided by oncoming
traffic. A 3-way stop at Havelock and Boxwood
would be immensely beneficial for the
kids of the neighbourhood. Traffic would
come to a stop and this way the traffic guard
does not have to risk her life trying to physically
stop traffic by jumping in front of cars
that are in motion.” |
