Community tackles dangerous intersection with speed monitoring initiative
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing concerns regarding traffic safety on county roads, particularly focusing on accident hotspots. The meeting highlighted plans to deploy a radar speed sign on County Road 103, a location identified as problematic due to frequent speeding incidents.

Officials reviewed accident reports dating back to 2020, revealing that the majority of accidents occur during the summer months of July and August. A significant number of these incidents involve vehicles traveling southbound on Anawanna Lake Road, especially at the intersection with Fraser Road. Historical data indicates that this intersection has long been a site of concern, with many accidents attributed to drivers ignoring stop signs and attempting to rush through the intersection.

Despite adequate sight distance at the intersection, officials noted that impatience among drivers often leads to dangerous situations, as some attempt to beat oncoming traffic. The meeting underscored the urgent need for measures to enhance safety and reduce the risk of accidents in these high-traffic areas.
