Traffic Calming

How the Program Works

Traffic calming requests are reviewed using a consistent, data-driven process that considers factors such as:

• Vehicle speeds
• Traffic volumes
• Road classification
• Presence of pedestrians, cyclists, and nearby land uses (schools, parks, etc.)

If a location meets the criteria, staff may recommend appropriate measures such as signage, speed feedback devices, pavement markings, or physical traffic calming features where suitable.

Requesting Traffic Calming Measures

Residents who have concerns about speeding or traffic safety can submit a request for review. All requests are assessed against the program criteria to ensure fairness and consistency across the Township.

Requests may be submitted through the Township’s Traffic Calming Request Form.

Requesting Caution Signage

If you would like to see additional signage on your street, such as children at play, wildlife present, turtles crossing etc. you may submit a request form for staff review.

Next Steps After Review

• Staff will collect and review relevant traffic data
• The location will be evaluated against established thresholds
• Recommendations will be made to Council where applicable
• Approved measures will be scheduled and implemented based on priority and available resources
