 Four-way ‘won’t solve’ intersection troubles

The Central Saanich traffic
safety committee said the Stellys
Crossroad/Wallace Drive intersec-
tion is one of the worst in the
community for accidents — but
rejected the idea a four-way stop
would help.

Responding to concerns of the

Stelly’s Parent Auxiliary, the com-
mittee said: “(A four-way stop)
method of traffic control should
not be used when pedestrian pro-
tection is a prime concern in
particular school children, nor as a
speed control.”

However, the accident record

may warrant traffic control impro-
vements at the intersection, the
committee said in a report to
council.

Additional information has been
requested from police and engi-
neering departments, and other

technical data is required for
further consideration, the report
said.

The committee plans to review
the matter again after receiving
more information.

Ald. Ed Hemblad, the traffic
safety committee chairman, said
he can’t give a time frame on

when more information will be
available but noted that upgrade

work to Stellys Crossroad will be
required soon.
