According to a works commit- tee report, "inappropriate speed limits can have the oppo- site effect from their intended purpose." "They can result in a reduc- tion in roadway capacity, have detrimental effect on road safe- ty and are largely ineffective unless accompanied by exces- sive enforcement," works com- missioner Bill Twelvetrees, wrote in the report. He also stated that recent changes to the highway traffic act which dramatically in- crease fines for speeders should deter drivers from exceeding the speed limit. "These increases place more responsibility upon the road authorities to ensure the post- ed speed limits are realistic for the design and characteristics of the roadway," he added. "Ar- bitrarily lowering of the speed limit can create speed traps and result in otherwise law abiding citizens being penal- ized. a LONDON FOG' NUANCE Nnirr est. 1919 ,7 168 QUEEN ST PORT PERRY ALL BRAND NAMES at AFFORDABLE PRICES! DISCOUNTS IN EFFECT UNTIL MARCH 31, 1990. When determining speed limits, Durham Region uses a method developed by the Traf- fic Institute at Northwestern University. Factors used to decide on the rate of speed in given areas in- clude physical characteristics of the road, road classification, nature and extent of the road- side development, speed sam- ples using radar equipment, number and type of intersect- ing roads, vehicle volume, pe- destrian volume and collision data. The report states that a speed zone study was conduct- ed in Epsom in 1987 and 1990 using taking into account the factors for determining speed. No accidents have occurred at the four corners of Epsom, there is limited pedestrian ac- tivity, and the width of the pavement and shoulders is ade- quate, the works report states. In contrast, speed limits along Marsh Hill Road -- the hard-surfaced road that inter- sects with Regional Road 8 -- were lowered to 50 km/h a couple of years ago when resi- dents complained. Nestleton Hall Board turns down request to use hall for temporary separate school The Nestleton Commumty Hall committee has turned a re- quest to use the basement of the hall as part of a proposed Catho- lic elementary school in that community. Hall committee chairman Warren Rohrer said the deci- sion to deny the request came at an executive meeting March 18. "We (the committee) felt it would be unfair to tie up part of the hall for five days each week. Our desire is to keep the hall open for use by all the public," he said. He went on to explain the committee felt the public might be hesitant in renting the hall if the basement was being used for classes. A group of Catholic parents with St. Bernadette Parish had requested use of the hall base- ment and washrooms starting this Setpember, if plans to start a Catholic School in Nestleton were approved by the Durham Separate Board. Mr. Rohrer said the Hall Committee is not opposed to the idea of a school, and he hopes that an alternative (temporary) location can be found. But his committee felt the basement of the hall should not be used for this purpose. The group of parents spear- heading the drive to start a Catholic School in Nestleton hope to eventually Pe able to build a school on land where a proposed new church could be built in the future. (see letter this week from Father Tom Lynch on this issue) Disappointed at sentence (From page 1) been drinking beer prior to the accident. He described his decision to speed off as "cowardly and de- liberate." He said the community is "outraged at the conduct (of Ar- chibald) and I am asking for a substantial jail term." Kristy's father Rick, told the Port Perry Star the family is disappointed at the sentence handed down last week. "There's not much deter- rence in that. He'll be out in six or seven months driving again. VALMED What's the point of suspending his licence again," he said. Mr. Trotter said the acci- dent and the injuries suffered by his daughter have caused a great deal of anguish and strain for the family. But he said Kristy is slowly making her recovery. She's back in school (grade two in Greenbank) and "doing pretty well." She is still having some trouble with her legs, and is tak- ing therapy, but he said some press reports suggesting severe - mental problems are not accu- rate. HEALTH SERVICES INC.
