Target: Augusta Township Council
Region: Canada
Petition Background (Preamble):
Resident safety is at risk on Cedar St, because of the speed of vehicles travelling along this road. This is particularly true for children, who are not always capable of making Judgments about their safety.
One study found that drivers are unable to accurately assess their own speed while they are driving and, as a consequence, make few adjustments in the presence of children (Harre N. Discrepancy between actual and estimated speeds of drivers in the presence of child pedestrians. Injury Prevention 2003; (9): 38-41.)
Adding stop signs, Posting 30 km/hour speed limit signs & Adding appropriate lighting along Cedar St, will improve the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and pets.
