Design solution

Map: Municipal Road and Berkley Street (between Roblin Boulevard and Rannock Avenue) preliminary design

We 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.
