Origin
Summary
Flexible in-road traffic calming signs are installed in the centre of the road, between opposing traffic lanes, and have a narrowing effect on the roadway which can give drivers the perception of the need to slow down. They are designed to withstand impacts from, and avert damage to, vehicles if struck by collapsing and rebounding.
The use of these signs is currently in a pilot phase, but Prince Edward Drive South is one of the pilot locations. This motion directs staff to install as many additional signs as can fit on Prince Edward Drive South.
