listed in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and used
by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario were reviewed to
determine if all-way stops were warranted. The All-way Stop
Evaluation / Warrant Study which is based on traffic volumes and
motor vehicle accidents indicates that the warrant is not met for
the installation of all way stop signs at any of the six study
locations at this time.
3 .2 All-way Stop Signs as Speed Control Devices
Some residents of Courtice have requested the installation of all-
way stops to reduce vehicle speeds . The Manual of Uniform Traffic
Control Devices outlines Criteria where all-way stops should not
be used which include:
i ) As a speed control device.
ii) As a means of detouring the movement of through
traffic in a residential area.
A report prepared by the Technical Committee of the Ontario Traffic
Conference states that traffic speed is only reduced for a distance
of 30 - 40 metres (100 - 130 feet) at the approach and exit to an
all-way stop intersection. The installation of an all-way stop is
not an effective way to reduce speed over a large area of roadway.
It has also been shown that installation of unwarranted all-way
stop signs results in disregard of the signs by drivers who will
not bring the vehicle to a full stop but simply slow down then
i
accelerate rapidly.
3 . 3 School Crossincx
The newly constructed Mother Teresa School is located on Glenabbey
Drive between Robert Adams Drive and Auburn Lane. Concerns for
children have been addressed by posting school zone signs and
establishing a school crossing guard. The Durham Regional Police
Community Services Department, Town staff and the principal of

Mother Teresa School have reviewed and implemented the placement
of an adult crossing guard on Glenabbey Drive at the east limit of
the school property as of November 18, 1991.
3 . 4 Enforcement of Speed Limit
Under chapter 198 section 109 ( 1) (b) of the Highway Traffic Act all
urban areas are Maximum 50 km/hour which is enforceable by the
Durham Regional Police.
Durham Regional Police have indicated they are not in favour of
using stop signs in unwarranted locations and encourage the use of
Provincial Guidelines and the warrant study. The Police are
continuing to enforce the speed limit on Glenabbey Drive with
regular patrols .
3 . 5 Speed Study
Traffic studies were conducted in the Courtice area August 21,
September 4 and September 10, 1991. The results indicate that
Robert Adams Drive and Auburn Lane do not have any serious speed
problems . Glenabbey Drive was the only road with a substantiated
occurrence of speed violations . A speed compliance table
(Attachment No. 2) has been prepared to illustrate the speed of
vehicles at various times throughout the day on Glenabbey Drive.
The period of highest speed was between 6:00 am and 7: 00 a.m. when
77 ( 39%) of the vehicles on Glenabbey Drive were travelling at 55
km/hour or more at the start of the morning rush while 118 (61%)
of drivers were travelling at 55 km/hour or less . The majority of
motorists reduced speed during school hours and 177 (84%) of
motorists were travelling at or below 55 km/hour while children
were present in the school area while 33 (16)% of the motorist were
still travelling above 55 km/hour. Traffic study results which are
shown as Attachment No. 3 indicate that during the ,33 hour study
961 vehicles (25%) were exceeding 55 km/hour with 101 vehicles
. . . /5
1 Ono
REPORT NO. : WD-8-92 PAGE 5
(2 . 6%) exceeding 65 km/hour. The 85th percentile was 60 km/hour
which confirms that police enforcement is required.
3 . 6 Traffic Volume Study - Existing and Future
The traffic count of September 5, 1991 indicated an average annual
daily traffic (AADT) figure of 2, 700 vehicles on Glenabbey Drive
with the peak hour being 5:00 to 6 :00 p.m. with a count of 266
vehicles . This intersection approach count is well below the 500
vehicles required under the provincial warrant. The side street
counts are also well below the 200 unit requirement.
Auburn Lane and Robert Adams Drive are both presently "T"
intersections as they join Glenabbey Drive and are difficult to
justify as all-way stops with the present low traffic volumes . For
many residents of Courtice living south of Highway #2 the
Prestonvale Road to Glenabbey Drive to Bloor Street route is the
shortest access to the Harmony Road and 401 interchange. Further
development with the extension of Glenabbey Drive to the east of
Prestonvale Road and the extension of Robert Adams Drive southerly
from Glenabbey Drive and the extension of Bloor Street to
Prestonvale Road will increase traffic volumes . The extension of
these roadways is dependant on the extension of the urban area and
approval of subdivision plans, which could be several years in the
future. After this development has occurred traffic volumes may
warrant all-way stop signs at the intersections of Glenabbey
Drive/Prestonvale Road and Glenabbey Drive/Robert Adams Drive.
3 . 7 Removal of Temporary Road Closure on Robert Adams Drive
Residents of Robert Adams Drive near Hampstead Gate requesting an
all-way stop are concerned that the removal of the construction
barriers to join the two sections of Robert Adams Drive will
increase vehicle speeds and traffic volume. The traffic volume on
Robert Adams Drive, which is a collector road with a pavement width
of 10m ( 33 feet) , is expected to increase as additional development
. . . /6
005
REPORT NO. : WD-8-92 PAGE 6
occurs in the area. With the barriers in place residents from
Robert Adams Drive subdivision area are travelling a longer route
by using Prestonvale Road which has a narrower road width of 6 .5
metres (21 feet) with no sidewalks . When development is completed
on the unopened part of Robert Adams Drive and the barriers are
removed the traffic flow will be more equitably divided between
Prestonvale Road and Robert Adams Drive.
The average annual daily traffic on this northern section of Robert
Adams Drive is 700 vehicles per day. The study did not indicate
any existing speeding problems and based on Provincial Guidelines
the volumes do not justify the installation of all-way stop.
3. 8 Consequences of Reducing Posted Speed from 50 km/hour to 40 km/hour
If the speed limit on Glenabbey Drive, which was designed as the
collector road through this residential area with a pavement width
of 10 metres (33 feet) and sidewalks on both sides, is lowered to
40 km/hour the residents on Prestonvale Road would demand the same
treatment. Subsequently, residents on all urban streets from
Courtice to Newtonville would make the same request. This would
entail installation of numerous speed signs on every street before
police enforcement could be requested. Under Chapter 198, Section
109 ( 1) (b) , of the Highway Traffic Act all urban areas are 50
km/hour. This is enforced by the police without the posting of
speed signs .
3 . 9 Prohibiting Heavy Traffic
The Traffic Study of September 4 and 5, 1991, indicated that 58
heavy vehicles (trucks larger than a half-ton, including buses)
drove on Glenabbey Drive over the 33 hour study period (53 on
September 4) . Of the 53 heavy vehicles five (5) were travelling
above 55 km/hour in the 56-65 km/hour range. The heavy traffic
figure of 53 vehicles on September 4 accounts for only 2% of the
total traffic volume and does not appear to be a major problem
which would justify prohibiting trucks from the street.
. . . /7
i
, 006
REPORT NO. WD-8-92 PAGE 7
Subsection 117 of Section 210 of the Municipal Act, R.S .O. 1980,
Chapter 302, states that, subject to the Highway Traffic Act, by-
laws may be passed by Councils of local municipalities for
prohibiting heavy traffic from using certain streets at any time.
Entrances to the street must be signed before any enforcement
efforts could be initiated.
Prohibition of truck traffic on one street often moves the problem
to another street in the area.
In order not to inconvenience residents of the street requiring
services of school buses or the delivery of merchandise requiring
a transport trailer, the following would be incorporated into the
by-law:
"notwithstanding the highways set out in this by-
law the prohibition shall not extend to the use of
the said highways by vehicles over five (5) tonnes
while actually engaged in deliveries or service for
premises abutting thereon, nor motor vehicles
designed or used for carrying passengers while
actually engaged in picking up or discharging
passengers, and emergency vehicles, or vehicles
actually engaged in works undertaken by the
corporation" .
i
4 . 0 CONCLUSIONS
4 . 1 From the above, it is concluded that residents are concerned about
vehicle speeds on collector. roads but the all-way stops which they
have requested are not warranted based on provincial guidelines nor
are they an effective method to combat speeding concerns . Strict
police enforcement of the 50 km/hour maximum speed limit is
required to improve compliance of the drivers
i
I
100 /
REPORT NO. : WD-8-92 PAGE 8
The introduction of unwarranted all-way stops on designed collector
roadways could result in wide spread abuse of the stop signs by
motorists while encouraging residents to request more all-way stops
to act as speed control devices . All-way stops are not recommended
at any of the requested intersections at this time.
4 .2 A speed reduction from 50 km/hour to 40 km/hour on Glenabbey Drive
is not warranted.
4 . 3 Traffic volumes do not indicate a need to prohibit heavy trucks
from using Glenabbey Drive.
4 .4 The school cross walk with an adult crossing guard, which has been
in place since November 18, 1991, has addressed the safety of
school children crossing Glenabbey Drive to Mother Teresa School.

Dear Mr. Hannah,
We the undersigned residents of Glenabbey Road, Courtice,
Ontario, and surrounding neighbourhood are greatly concerned over
the increase of traffic on Glenabbey Road and subsequently the
safety of residents, but especially our neighbourhood children.
We submit this Petition in the hope of drawing your
attention to our concerns and ask you to initiate corrective
action in the form of the following suggestions:
1. Direct non-residential traffic down Prestonvale Road
(southward) past Glenabbey Road to Bloor Street.
2 . Erect STOP signs at. the intersections of:
a. Robert Adams Road with Glenabbey Road and
b. Auburn Lane with Glenabbey Road.
3 . Reduce the speed limit on Glenabbey Road to 40 Kmh.
4 . Establish a crosswalk on Glenabbey Road at Mother
Teresa School.
We respectfully request a reply addressing our suggestions
by December 20, 1991. Please send the reply to:

The following are residential observations in regards to
traffic and safety on Glenabbey Road.
Traffic
1. Glenabbey Road is being utilized as a bypass for Bloor
Street and as a thruway to gain access to Highway 401.
2 . Construction vehicles, notably dump trucks, use Glenabbey
Road as an access route to other subdivisions.
3 . Peak times are 6:30-8: 30 am and 3 : 00-6: 00 pm. Residents
frequently must wait prolonged periods during these times in
order to leave their own driveways.
4. The noise level is excessive at peak times, Friday nights
and Sunday afternoons. Excessive speeds and 'reckless '
driving primarily contribute to the problem.
5. No-one expected Glenabbey Road (a street in a residential
area) to receive such a high volume of traffic, much of it
from numerous other subdivisions.
Safety
1. The speed limit of 50 Kmh is not adhered to. Cars often
exceed the speed limit; many pass those who do drive the
limit.
2 . Cars have been observed passing school buses that are
stopped with lights flashing unloading children.
3 . Incidents of cars playing tag, racing or the like have
occurred.
4. At peak times pedestrians, especially and most often
children, find Glenabbey Road unsafe to cross due to the
excessive speed and the volume of vehicular traffic.
5. The school year is once again upon us and Mother Teresa
School is open for classes. More children in the area mixed
with excessive traffic and speeding and 'reckless' drivers
will certainly increase the risk of serious injury.
