A4 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday June 13 , 2001 P la n w o u ld h e lp m a k e H a l t o n 's r o a d s s a f e r Several town hot spots under review R ic h a rd V iv ia n SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Halton Region is looking to make collisioncursed roads more driver friendly with the imple mentation of a comprehensive road safety action plan. The plan, developed for Halton Region by iTrans Consulting Inc., will see collision data used in conjunction with collision averages to target stretches of road with more than their fair share of collisions. Those areas recording more than the expected average may receive further review to determine what can be done to decrease collision numbers. "When you use statistics, you can find out more about the format of the crash. If you know that, you can allocate the identification process and find a cost-effective way to lower colli sions," said iTrans representative Geni Bahar. "The comprehensive road safety program, in brief, will provide the Region with a systematic impact map." After receiving the iTrans report, last week, Halton Planning and Works Committee members agreed to move forward with the project. Similar projects already exist in York Region, Durham Region, and Toronto. With the initial ranking of roads completed as part of iTrans' report, the committee authorized staff to proceed with phase two - conducting a road operation safety assessment and road design safety audit. Phase two will see collision records for the top five intersections and top five road segments analyzed and possible solutions recommended. Rankings are based on a `potential for safety improvement' (PSI) basis. The PSI compares a location to others with similar traffic, design, and control characteristics, measuring the expected collision rate against the actual collision rate. Rankings are not based on the frequency of col lisions. Burlington councillor Mike Wallace told the committee he is concerned about spending money on improvemeitts to high PSI areas when there are others that may have more collisions. "When does the gap (between the PSI and expected collision rate) become important? Will we spend a chunk of money to reduce one acci dent a year?" Wallace questioned. Before alterations are made to any portion of road, council approval will be sought, Bahar said. Council can set their own limitations as to whether alterations are an appropriate invest ment. Intersections included in the first application of the plan include (in order from highest ranking priority to lowest): Trafalgar Road at White Oakes Boulevard, Bronte Road at Dundas Street, Trafalgar Road at Iroquois Shore Road, Fourth Line at Derry Road, and Trafalgar Road at Marlborough Court. Road segments under review are (in order from highest ranking priority to lowest): Guelph Line between Derry Road and Steeles Avenue, Dundas Street between Eighth Line and Ninth Line, Dundas Street between Bronte Road and Third Line Road, Winston Churchill Boulevard between 5 Side Road and 10 Side Road, and Ninth Line between 5 Side Road and 10 Side Road.
