A very busy intersection in Windsor may soon become easier to navigate. But the solution may cost between $1 million and $2.8 million. West Hants, N.S., council considering roundabout, lights to ease traffic congestion on Wentworth Road | SaltWire
“Lights would be safer, I would think, unless they’re going to move the crosswalks somewhere else.”In 2013, the Garlands Crossing, Windsor Border Area Study was commissioned to provide a long-term transportation strategy to accommodate future growth in the area. At the time of the report, which factored in an additional 1,000-plus residential units coming to the Windsor area, a set of lights or roundabout for Payzant Drive was recommended.
“In their opinion, a single-lane roundabout would be council’s best option. It’s the most expensive option.” “One of the nice things about roundabouts is that because of the configuration, it does promote lower speeds, and by simplifying decision-making, there generally are fewer collisions at roundabouts than there are at conventional intersections,” he said.
“The Canadian roundabout design guidelines discourages using driveways in the middle of a roundabout unless it meets what we call a balanced flow criteria. This existing commercial property does not meet this criteria.” “What's happened is that when roundabouts were first introduced into North America, drivers were very conservative and cautious and that had an impact on how many cars you could get into a roundabout,” said Burgess.
