In his presentation ta commit- t, parents' spokesman Martin Bain, who has lived on Glen Dhu for four years, told committee that the problem was the speed, Of traffic rather than the volume. "Fast cars are a. recipe for significant accidents,» said Bain. We've had a few close calîs.» He said that some traffie tra- vels as fast as 60 k/h and that the curves' along that; stretch were not sharp enough for dri- vers to slow down but weme enough ta impair visibility. Committe. chairman Joe Bugelli said that experience shows that four-way stops are. often more dangerous than safe that they provide a false sense of security ta children (and adults), and that drivers often ignore four-way stops when there doesn't seem ta be any apparent danger. Bain went on ta tell committee that there were 17 children ini that small area, ail of them under age 13. Councillor Marcel Brunelle emphasized that parents should instruct their children as ta the safest places ta cross the streets and ta, enforce those rudes ta ensure the safety of the children.
