The Municipality of Clarington has announced that permanent speed bumps were to be installed on Simpson Avenue in Bowmanville on September 17 in the following locations:
- North of Prince Street
- South of Jane Street
- North of Southway Drive
Work was expected to be completed within the day, and access to all fronting properties was to be maintained.
These permanent speed bumps are part of a broader traffic calming strategy designed to enhance safety for all road users. Along with other measures already in place on Simpson Avenue – including a pedestrian crossover with a bump-out and seasonal flex signs – this project aims to reduce vehicle speeds, encourage safer driving habits, and respond to safety concerns raised by residents, said a municipal statement.
