2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 At a public meeting held on January 29, 1998 to discuss the road realignment of Old
Scugog Road at Regional Road 57, residents requested that traffic and the posted speed
limit be reviewed along Old Scugog Road between Regional Road 4 (Taunton Road) and
Regional Road 57.
2.2 The road realignment proposed for Old Scugog Road, Regional Road 57 and the proposed
new court requires a stop sign for right-of-way control.
2.3 The road realignment at Scugog Street and Middle Road presently under construction also
requires a right-of-way change.
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3.1 Intersection of Old Scugog Road and Regional Road 57
This intersection will be reconstructed to accommodate the creation of a residential court
south of the existing intersection. The approved approach involves the closing of Gaud
Gate at Regional Road 57 and realignment of the southern intersection. The stop sign will
be placed on the court to allow traffic exiting Regional Road 57 direct access northbound to
Old Scugog Road. This right-of-way control is the best method to prevent traffic from
becoming congested in the traffic storage area and overflowing onto Regional Road 57.
3.2 Traffic on Old Scugog Road and Regional Road 57
During the public meeting on January 29, 1998, the main area of concern for the residents
was Section "A" from Regional Road 57 northerly to Buttery Court. This is a residential
area posted as 50 kmIhr with large lots fronting primarily onto six courts. This semi-rural
area has a 6.7m wide smooth asphalt road with shoulders approximately 1m wide with
street lights. The roadway is built to rural standards with open ditch and no curb or

sidewalk. The following requests were made:
I) Installation of all-way stops at the intersections of Andelwood Court/Old Scugog
Road ("T" intersection), Maryleah Court/Taunus Court and Old Scugog Road.
Staff follow Provincial guidelines based on traffic volumes and can not recommend
these unwarranted stop signs as proposed speed deterrents.
2) Traffic signals at the intersection of Regional Road 57 and Old Scugog Road.
This is a Regional intersection which does not presently meet the warrants for traffic
signals. The Region may consider a northbound turning lane for this location.
3) Review sight distance from Maryleah Court.
A southbound motorist can see a motorist at the intersection for a distance of 151m
and should be able to avoid a collision at speeds up to 85km/hr.
4) The residents also wanted consideration for lowering the speed limit southerly from
Regional Road 4 in Sections marked as "B" and "C".
Staff are reluctant to change the middle Section "B" due to the openness and lack of
residential frontages. Area "C", staff feel, could be posted at 60 km/hr to provide a
lower speed approach to the traffic signals and a transition zone as motorists enter
and leave Hampton.
Traffic studies done in the residential area indicated daily volumes of 1,200 vehicles
per day. Average vehicle speeds are 56.5 km/hr with an 85th percentile speed of
76.07 km/hr. To combat speeding concerns, the residents may contact Durham

Regional Police for radar enforcement or contact the Public Works Department to
borrow the Radar Message Board as part of a neighbourhood speed watch effort.
3.3 Intersection ofScugog Street and Middle Road
This intersection is being reconstructed during 1998 to eliminate the "Y" alignment of the
roadway. After the construction, Scugog Street will curve to a proper 90 degree alignment
to a stop condition at Middle Road. Middle Road will align with the lower portion of
Scugog Street and become the through road. Attachment No. 2 shows the existing and
future roadway alignments.
4.0 CONCLUSION
4.1 From the above, it is concluded that Traffic By-law 91-58 should be amended to permit the
right-of-way changes required to improve traffic flow at the two intersections reviewed.
