Penetanguis- hene The incident occurred on Sunday, Sept. 21 outside the Brule Hotel. Traffic comprehensive traffic study conducted last summer in Penetanguishene by student Lance Byrne was complimented and endorsed by Penetanguishene Council at its Monday night meeting. The study which dealt with topics such as general traffic flow patterns, peak traffic periods and the effect of commuter traffie on selected streets pointed oul some interesting facts relating to the traffic picture' in Penetanguishene. For example, over 70 percent of vehicles entering the dock area turn around there and leave. It was this fact which prompted the recommendation to construct a_ turning study story circle there. The report says a beach and_ boating traffic results in a doubling of the flow on Jurv Drive on weekends. And, Penetanguishene's main arteries, Robert St Poyntz "St "and Main St. are generally free from traffic buildup due to effective control by the traffic lights. The study concludes that few changes are re .qeuyi red in Penetanguishene's traffic system "apart from a turning circle at the docks", and says a four way stop at Lorne and Burke streets is not necessary. It was a series of requests for just such a stop that helped bring about the study.
