Proposed intersection improvements at County Council

October 24, 2023

On October 5, 2023, Oxford County, Perth County, Township of Wilmot and the Region of Waterloo presented the findings and proposed recommendations of the Intersection Control Feasibility Study that was completed for Punkeydoodles Corners.

Based on the study findings and public feedback, we are now proceeding with the following changes to address some of the operational issues that have been identified:

• removing the tree row on the Perth Road 101 curve to improve sightlines (complete);
• installing electronic speed feedback signs at the north and south approaches to the curve;
• installing additional diamond reflectors along the east side of the curve;
• removing centreline painting on the curve at Rd 101A intersection.

The following proposed recommendations for intersection improvements would proceed in 2024 if approved by respective municipal Councils:

• closing the intersections at Oxford Road 24/ Perth Oxford Road and Perth Road 101 (marked 3 on the map) and Huron Road and Perth Road 101 (4 on the map);
• realigning the intersection at Perth Road 101 and Perth Road 101A (2 on the map) and also upgrading illumination and making sightline improvements in this area;
• adding both a new southbound left turn deceleration lane on Perth Road 101 and a northbound right turn deceleration lane (2 on the map); and,
• adding a new stop sign for westbound traffic on Punkeydoodles Avenue, and then removing the northbound / southbound stop signs at intersection 1 on Oxford Road 5.
