Carpet One Belleville - 285 Coleman St

Intersection boasts a Belleville first

Posted 11 months ago

Thu, Jun 21st, '12 - 9:01 am

A new, slower speed limit on Wallbridge Loyalist Rd. is now accompanied by a new set of traffic lights at W. Moira St.

Belleville roads supervisor, Chuck Naphan, says one of the most interesting aspects of the project is what we don’t see; all the wires run underground.

Naphan says the intersection also includes the city of Belleville’s first low-energy LED street light.

The project is said to have come in well under the budgeted $100,000, but final figures have not yet been calculated.

    So when is Hamilton road getting a set of lights?

    Soooo what is the new speed limit??

    The new ‘slower’ speed limit is 60km/h, which seems silly on that stretch of Wallbridge Loyalist road as the limits on Moira St West and Hamilton Road remain at 80 km/h.

    A roundabout at the Hamilton / Wallbridge road intersection would have a more traffic calming effect than traffic lights.
