Witless Bay council last week fielded two traffic calming requests from residents.
The first was a request to install ‘Blind Turn Ahead’ signs along Dunn’s Lane as well as a ‘Drive Slow – Children at Play’ sign near 54 Dunn’s Lane. Council approved the request.
Council then denied a request to install a speed bump on Fisherman’s Road near the intersection of New Line Road, and instead voted to install signs in the area both to caution drivers to drive slowly and to confirm the 30 km/h speed limit.
Councillor Ralph Carey, who put forward both motions, said that speed bumps don’t always fulfill their intended purposes and signage would be a better fit for the area.
