Scarborough road users can now expect to encounter speed humps and perhaps slower calmer traffic along several roads in the community.
Scarborough Community Council met on May 1 to vote on the installation of speed humps along 8 roads located in Wards 21, 22, 24 and 25.
It is important to distinguish speed humps from speed bumps. The first is a longer and more gradual section of raised ground. The second is a shorter and more abrupt bump in the road.
The council has unanimously decided to install the following speed humps in a bid to calm traffic in these areas:
• Beran Drive, between Kollar Drive and Confederation Drive – 4-speed humps
• Colonel Danforth Trail, between Lawson Road and the southeast end of Colonel
Danforth Trail – 17 speed humps.
• Confederation Drive, between Greencrest Circuit and Scarborough Golf Club
Road – 13-speed humps.
• Holmfirth Terrace, between Greencrest Circuit and Scarborough Golf Club Road
– 9-speed humps.
• Huntsmill Boulevard, between Bamburgh Circle and Arnall Avenue – 14-speed
humps.
• Kollar Drive, between Confederation Drive and the north end of Kollar Drive – 4-
speed humps.
• Ranstone Gardens, between Birchmount Road and Kennedy Road – 11-speed
humps.
• Stevenwood Road, between Confederation Drive and Markham Road – 5-speed
humps.
