3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3. 1 In December, 1989, the intersection of Leskard Road and Concession
Road 7 was reviewed by staff and the following changes were made
to the signing of the intersection:
1. "Advance Intersection" signs were placed on Leskard Road for
northbound and southbound traffic.
2 . An additional "Stop Ahead" sign was placed on Concession Road
7 for westbound traffic.
3. The stop sign for westbound traffic on Concession Road 7 was
replaced with an oversized stop sign.
3 .2 Flashing Signal Light and All-Way Stop
The warrants for a flashing signal light and a for an All-Way Stop
at the intersection have been reviewed. The warrants are not met
for both cases.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOrMENDATIONS
4 . 1 From the above, it is concluded that the changes made in the
signing at the Leskard Road/Concession Road 7 intersection are
adequate and the installation of a "flashing signal light" or an
"All-Way Stop" are not warranted.
4 .2 It is, therefore, recommended that this report be received and no
further action be taken with regard to signing the intersection.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee,
