Sideroad 18 ‘dangerous’

Dear Editor:

I have sent numerous emails to the Township of Centre Wellington about my speeding concerns on Sideroad 18 in Fergus.

Starting in early spring I have repeatedly asked for something to be done about the drivers ignoring the posted 40km/h limit. Finally, one sign was posted at one end of the road. Big whoop! It is at the wide part of the road were one doesn’t even need to slow down to get past. 

Two years ago there were three or four of these signs spread down the road, which helped somewhat. It has become dangerous to walk or bike on our road due to the speed and volume of traffic. There are no sidewalks or even a shoulder on Sideroad 18. What does it take to be heard and have this addressed?
