FLAMBOROUGH – Flamborough-Glanbrook MPP, Donna Skelly is pleased to announce safety improvements are coming to Highway 6 North in Flamborough.
Skelly, a two term MPP for the area, says the intersection of Highway 6 and Campbellville Road is a particularly dangerous portion of the busy highway. Skelly says she was pleased to learn that following extensive discussions, the Ministry of Transportation has agreed to erect traffic signals at the intersection.
“I was made aware of the traffic concern at Highway 6 and Campbellville Road earlier this year,” said Donna Skelly, Flamborough-Glanbrook MPP. “Concerned residents forwarded photos and videos demonstrating the need for traffic signals at the intersection. Following extensive meetings with ministry officials, I am very pleased to confirm officials now believe traffic signals are warranted.”
“Having lived in the Flamborough Area for almost 50 years, I am relieved yet elated that the Ministry of Transportation has finally agreed to put in traffic lights at the intersection of Highway 6 and Campbellville Road,” said Flamborough resident, Henry Waszczuk. “After providing undisputed video of the major backups, congestions and accidents, MPP Donna Skelly and her team went to bat for all, to solve one of the major problems that Highway 6 has created. Thanks Donna!”
The Ministry of Transportation has specific requirements that must be met before the installation of traffic signals can be considered. These include the overall volume of traffic passing through a stop-controlled intersection, delays to the side road traffic and collision experience. The extent to which these requirements are met determines if the installation of traffic signals is warranted. This approach is used by many North American road jurisdictions and found to be an effective method for determining the need for traffic control signals at an intersection and ensures that funding is applied where it is most needed on a provincial basis.
The project will be added to the ministry’s highway improvement program and prioritized against other operational and safety needs on the provincial highway network. Once prioritized, the necessary work required to implement the improvements will proceed.
