Berkley-Municipal Traffic Calming Project
Traffic calming measures are coming to Berkley Street and Municipal Road between Roblin Boulevard and Rannock Avenue.
Update: March 18, 2024 – The design presented in Phase 1 is now final.
Based on what we heard from the community in Phase 1, we will proceed to construction as early as this summer.
Design solution
Map: Municipal Road and Berkley Street (between Roblin Boulevard and Rannock Avenue) preliminary designWe are installing 12 speed humps: six on each Municipal and Berkley.
- Speed humps slow speeds by causing a vehicle to move upward and create discomfort for those traveling at higher speeds.
- The Class 3 cost estimate to install traffic calming measures on Municipal and Berkley is estimated as $24,000. These improvements would be funded through the Road Safety Improvement Program.

Need for traffic calming
These twin roads are high-priority locations for traffic calming measures.
We collected traffic data in May 2022 :
On Berkley Street:
- The 85th percentile speed, which is the speed at which 85 percent of motorists travel at or below, is between 49 and 53 km/h
- About 150 vehicles travel 55 km/h or faster every day
On Municipal Road:
- The 85th percentile speed, which is the speed at which 85 percent of motorists travel at or below, is between 52 and 54 km/h
- About 185 vehicles travel 55 km/h or faster every day
Traffic calming measures will be installed on both roadways to help slow speeds and create a safer space for all road users.
Next steps
Construction could begin as early as Summer 2024.
