No.2: Proposed by-law
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 A safety review of the intersection at Concession Road 8 and Middle Road, Haydon, was
requested by Mr. Alfred Garrard of Haydon.
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3.1 This intersection has previously been identified as requiring reconstruction, including
improvements to both horizontal and vertical alignments. The project has tentatively been
scheduled in the 2000 Capital Budget and Four-Year Forecast for completion in 2003. An

advisory "hidden intersection" warning sign has been in place for a number of years and the
posted regulatory speed of 50 kmIhr entering Haydon was extended to the east of the
intersection to encourage speed reduction.
3.2 There is a sharp drop in the roadway immediately east of the intersection, which causes
approaching vehicles to be hidden for between four (4) and five (5) seconds. As westbound
vehicles crest at the intersection, the sight distance is 65 metres, which is considered safe if
motorists obey the posted speed of 50 kmIhr. A speed study obtained during September
2000 showed an average speed of 65 kmIhr with an 85th percentile speed of 75 kmIhr as
westbound vehicles approached the intersection. The lack of compliance by motorists of the
posted speed limits and other warning signs increases the accident potential at this
intersection.
3.3 The introduction of an all-way stop would improve safety of the intersection. The all-way
stop condition, if implemented, would be reviewed after proposed intersection
reconstruction has been completed in 2003. There will be a slight operational concern due
to the road grade for westbound traffic. This operational concern should not be a major
problem with the existing traffic volumes.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4.1 The installation of an all-way stop at the intersection of Concession Road 8 and Middle
Road would improve safety at this hidden intersection.
