" 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3. 1 The letter dated January 10, 1995, from Teresa DeCicco-Murkar (Attachment No. 2 ) , notes concerns of speeding and careless driving and suggests stop signs or traffic calming devices to alleviate her concerns. I 3. 1 Previous Study of Edward Street The traffic on Edward Street was reviewed. during late 1991 in response to a petition received by Council. Report WD-10-92 I .(Attachment No. 3) was considered by the General Purpose and Administration Committee on January 20, 1992. The Committee recommended to Council that the recommendations in the report be approved and Council approved the recommendations on January 27, 1992 . REPORT NO. : WD-14-95 PAGE 3 The primary concerns in 1991 were speeding and through traffic. The study on September 25 and 26, 1991, indicated that speed on Edward Street was not a problem with average speeds of 38. 19 km/hr, and an 85th percentile speed of 52 .08 km/hr. The concern of through traffic was also reviewed by matching licence plates of vehicles from 4 :30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. with six (6) vehicles ( 13%) being through traffic and 41 (87%) being local traffic. 3.3 Comparison With Other Residential Collector Roadways Staff has visited this area on a number of occasions and has not witnessed any erratic driving behaviour or speed as described in the letter. Comparative data indicates Edward Street has less volume and lower speeds than other collector roadways. 85th dile Collector Volume Average Speed Speed Edward St. 825 38. 19 52.08 Sandringham Dr. 2,900 39.93 54.42 Simpson Ave. 3,000 50. 17 57 .78 3.4 Intersection of Edward and Church Streets An all-way stop was approved by Council at the intersection of Edward and Church Streets during the Fall of 1994 . The additional stop signs were placed on Church Street to compensate for poor sight lines which created a hazardous condition. The all-way stop was not installed due to volumes or speed which were both considered low. The installation of j this all-way stop has prompted the request for additional stop signs along Edward Street which Teresa DeCicco-Murkar suggests are required as speed control devices. I REPORT NO. : WD-14-95 PAGE 4 3.5 Intersection of Edward Street and Foster Creek Drive The results of a traffic study conducted on February 28, 1995, between 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. are as follows: • The majority of the school children were crossing Edward Street with the protection of the school bus flashing lights or were crossing at the all-way stop intersection at Church and Edward Streets. • 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. The peak hour traffic volume 180 vehicles/hour • Hourly volume warrant 500 vehicles/hour • Peak Hour Traffic Volume X 100 36% Hourly Volume Warrant • 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Traffic volume s 135 vehicles/hour • Traffic volume between 4 & 5 p.m. X 100 = 27% Hourly Volume Warrant The low results during the initial study nullifies the need for an extensive volume study. If the volume warrant for this single peak hour was met during the initial study, staff would have followed up with an extensive study to determine if a total of eight (8) hours would meet the volume requirements over a 24 hour period to satisfy the Provincial Warrants. 3.6 Traffic Calming Devices The letter suggests that many similar streets in Durham Region have used "traffic calmers" or speed bumps to control speeding. No public roadway in Durham Region or Ontario uses i speed bumps due to liability claims, but they do exist on private laneways or parking lots. The Town of Whitby still rJ :. REPORT NO. : WD-14-95 PAGE 5 has one test location with a traffic calming circle, but the concept is still experimental in Ontario. If traffic calming techniques are supported by Council .at a future date, Edward Street would be reconsidered but may be prioritized lower than other collector roadways based on the speeds and volumes. 3.7 Enforcement If careless driving does exist on Edward Street, it is a police matter to set up surveillance, charge the motorist and, if warranted, remove their driving privileges. A stop sign does not change careless drivers into good drivers. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 4 . 1 From the above, it is concluded that none of the locations along Edward Street meets the Provincial All-Way Stop Warrant for even a single one ( 1) hour period and further volume studies are not required.

Due to the fact that there are no stop signs between the aforementioned streets, vehicles drive far too fast and dangerously on Edward Street. Having observed instances of "races" between vehicles, driving at top speeds on the wrong sides of the road, screeching tires to avoid pets and children, and general speeding and careless driving, this residential street is a tragedy waiting to happen. Many similar streets in the Durham region have used "traffic calmers" or speed bumps to control the dangerous driving habits of people tempted by a long stretch of residential road. A brief observation of the situation by any one of you would reveal the information I have just given you and it would warrant traffic control mechanisms. Please stop a dangerous situation by putting in the appropriate signs or traffic calmers on Edward Street. I understand this issue has been brought to your attention in the past and the issue has gone unnoticed. Please review my request, and;-I- -look,:fQrwaard-toy hearing from you. Your Truly, -•:.

In order to deal with their concerns, the residents have i requested: i) The installation of an all-way stop at the Edward Street/Foster Creek Drive intersection. i ii) The lowering of the regulatory speed limit on Edward Street from 50 km/hour to 40 km/hour. . . ./3 0 3 REPORT NO. : WD-10-92 PAGE 3 3.2 Provincial Guidelines for All-way Stop Signs The guidelines for installation of all-way stop signs, listed in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and used by the Ministry. of Transportation of Ontario, were followed to determine if an all-way stop was warranted. The All-way Stop Evaluation/Warrant Study indicates that- the installation of an all-way stop at this low volume intersection is not warranted. The provincial guidelines for the installation of all-way stops recommends an intersection approach of 500 vehicles per hour or more; however, the peak hour volume on Edward Street was only 87 vehicles which is far below the volumes required. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices outlines Criteria which states all-way stops should not be used 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 concluded 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. 3 .3 Consequences of Reducing- Posted Speed from 50 Whour to 40 km/hour If Edward Street, 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 Sunset Boulevard would demand the . . ./4 1 �� 4 4 : .' REPORT NO. : WD-10-92 PAGE 4 same treatment. Subsequently, residents on all urban streets from Courtice to Newtonville would make the same. request. This would require installation of numerous regulatory 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 regulatory speed signs. 3.4 Traffic Volume and Speed Study The traffic study conducted on September 25 and 26, 1991, on Edward Street indicated that the average annual daily traffic is approximately 770 vehicles. The study did not confirm that a major speeding problem existed. The results showed that: i) 85% of the motorists -were travelling at 52 km/hour or less; and ii) on average only 6% (46 vehicles) were travelling over 55 km/hour, while 1/2% (4 vehicles) were travelling over 65 km/hour. This location will be monitored again at a future date and if the speed does increase the Durham Regional Police will .be informed and requested to increase enforcement. 3. 6 Commuter vs. Residential Traffic After the bridge was..opened to traffic a study was performed to determine, as suggested by Mrs . Schaffner, the percentage of vehicles using Edward Street as an alternate route to avoid the business area. The study involved recording and comparing licence plate numbers of vehicles entering and leaving the study area during the hour between 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. The REPORT NO. : WD-10-92 PAGE 5 results indicated that only 6 (13%) of the peak hour vehicles were outside commuters driving through this subdivision, while 41 (87%) were local residents. These figures do not indicate that commuters are creating problems for the local residents. The introduction of lower speeds or all-way stops would not reduce any of the residential traffic while the outside commuter traffic may use Sunset Boulevard to the south which is narrower with no sidewalks. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 4. 1 From the above, it is concluded that, based on Provincial Guidelines, an all'-way stop is not warranted at the intersection of Edward Street and Foster Creek Drive and that a major speeding problem-does not presently exist near this intersection. Strict. police enforcement is required to remind drivers of the proper speed in urban areas. 4.2 The introduction of a 40 km/hour speed zone on a designed collector type roadway, is unwarranted and would result in widespread requests for reduced speed zones.

We moved into this area because of the country setting where we could live in'a quiet, peaceful and safe environment. •As we all know, children can be told many times about the dangers of streets and cars but, unfortunately,-they forget and we are obligated as-adults to protect these children to the best of our ability. It is very disturbing to us and we cannot be expected to sit back and watch while Edward Street turns into a thoroughfare; a thoroughfare•which is conducive to speeding and careless driving. We feel that once the bridge is finished the traffic coming through here will increase significantly. The traffic ow is already travelling at a rate of between 60-.80 km per hour,with no regard for the stop sign presently. Ehere. The same is true at the intersection of Edward Street and Chestnut Street;They squeal their tires when they drive around the corners,with absolutely no regard for anyone walking or.playing on the sidewalks or riding their bikes on the streets. We are very upset with this traffic problem now and extremely concerned about the traffic conditions once the bridge is complete. It is felt that the speeding will get worse and the volume will certainly increase. We understand that the plans are for a two-way stop sign. We feel that this will give the cars a free thoroughfare from Edward and Rudell all the way to Edward and Church Streets. We would therefore,like to see the speed limit on Edward Street reduced to 40knn and to have a four-way stop installed at the intersection of Edward Street and Foster Creek This will discourage traffic from using Edward Street when Highway#2 is only .3km to the north, and it will obviously slow the traffic down. Enclosed please find a map clearly showing exactly what traffic control there is on Edward Street presently, and what the resident's feel is required for the safety and peace of mind of everyone who lives in this area, whether they.have children or not. Attached you will find the signatures of many concerned citizens who live in and around the area in question who support the opinions stated above. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration with this matter and we look forward to hearing from* you as soon as possible.
