Perth County Council Approves Temporary Traffic Lights

Temporary traffic signals to be in place until construction for roundabout can begin

 

Higher level of traffic is making its way across Perth County.

Following a recent council meeting, Perth County council voted in favour of installing temporary traffic lights at the intersection of Perth Road 140 and Perth Line 91 (Wellington Roads 8 and 9) to stem the flow of traffic and reduce accidents in the area locally known as the “S-Bends.”

Wellington County staff in the past has requested a roundabout at the intersection due to recent fatal collisions, including this past August after a failure to yield.

The temporary traffic signals will be in place likely until roundabout construction can start.
