East Drive is classified as a collector roadway, operating two-way in an eastbound and westbound direction between Jane Street and Scarlett Road. East Drive between Bexley Crescent and Brendwin Road is equipped with traffic calming. The addition of one speed hump on East Drive between Scarlett Road and Woodgate Drive is being requested to address excessive speeding along this segment of the road.
This motion also seeks to bring consistency to the speed limit on East Drive so that the entire road has a speed limit of 30 km/h.
