Report S 156/2018 noted the following key conclusions:

• The existing school crossing is consistent with provincial guidance and normal practice.

• The crossing was reviewed for conversion to a pedestrian crossover. The review found that this location does not meet the normal requirements for a pedestrian crossover.

• The crossing was reviewed for potential installation of traffic signals (either a full signal or a pedestrian signal). The warrants for a signal are not met currently. Administration will continue to periodically evaluate the intersection to assess whether the signal is warranted in the future.

Discussion:

In the time since report S 156/2018 CQ14-2018 Cabana Road East / Roseland Public School Pedestrians was prepared, the following activities have occurred in the vicinity of the school crossing on Cabana Road East at Karen/Clara:

• Additional signs and pavement markings were installed

• Speeds on Cabana Road East have been measured

• Additional observations of traffic behaviour at the school crossing have been carried out

These activities do not alter Administration’s recommendations from what was recommended in reports S 90/2018 and S 156/2018. Additional details on each of these activities is given below.

Signs and Pavement Markings

The Ontario Traffic Manual identifies standard signs and pavement markings for school crossings. The remainder of these signs and markings were installed on November 19, 2018:

• Additional crosswalk warning signs: these signs make the crossing more conspicuous to approaching drivers and help to alert drivers to the potential need to stop.

• “No passing here to crossing” signs: these signs deter vehicles from pulling around vehicles that may be stopped to allow children to cross.

• Solid line lane markings: these lane markings reinforce the “no passing” signage and emphasize that changing lanes near the school crossing is not allowed.
