PSA:Traffic Calming Installations at Two Intersections

As part of its Neighbourhood Quieting work, the Town of Paradise is re-installing temporary traffic calming measures for the season at two intersections. The work involves reconfiguring the intersections and making traffic flow changes designed to slow traffic and improve driver and pedestrian safety. The installations are scheduled to begin July 16 and take approximately two days to complete. The traffic calming measures will be in place throughout the summer and will be removed late fall, prior to the start of the snow clearing season.  

Traffic calming installations: 

Lanark Drive and St. Thomas Line Intersection: A combination of line painting and rubber curb extensions installed on Lanark Drive to narrow the intersection. This will reduce speeding and eliminate vehicle drifting in the area. There will be a right a left turning lane on Lanark Drive for traffic entering St. Thomas Line. 

Carlingford Street and St. Thomas Line Intersection: A combination of line painting, rubber curb stops, and signage will be installed to prevent drivers from turning left onto Carlingford Street from St. Thomas Line.

Drivers are advised to use caution in the area and to follow all posted signage and traffic control procedures.
