Haldimand County seeking resident feedback on traffic calming measure pilot locations

This fall, as part of its Council-approved Traffic Management Strategy, Haldimand County rolled out a number of temporary traffic calming measures at pilot locations across the community. Two locations – Wigton St. in Caledonia and Munsee St. in Cayuga – are being considered for permanent traffic calming, and a survey has been created to collect resident feedback.

Speed humps were temporarily installed on Wigton St. (Argyle St. S to Renfrew St. E, Caledonia). Speed cushions were temporarily installed on Munsee St. (Joseph Street West to Chippewa Street West, Cayuga). Both tools are proven traffic calming measures used to reduce vehicle speeds in residential areas, enhance safety for pedestrians/cyclists and encourage more consistent, cautious driving behavior.

Traffic calming measures have been removed from both pilot locations for winter, and staff are now seeking feedback on their effectiveness. Comments received through the short online survey will help staff assess how well these measures worked and guide future planning.

Other traffic calming pilot initiatives stemming from the Traffic Management Strategy include:

• Speed display devices (map of all locations available on website)
• Flexible bollards (Caithness St. E - East Edinburgh Square to McClung Rd., Caledonia)
• Neighbourhood speed areas (40 km/h limit) in Jarvis (South of Talbot St. W to Miller Ave. and West of Main St. S to Leslie St.) and Hagersville (North of King St. W to MacNeil Crt. and West of Main St. N to Tuscarora Street)

Residents who wish to share feedback on the effectiveness of traffic calming measures on Wigton St. and Munsee St. are encouraged to do so by taking the short online survey, open from December 1 until December 17, at haldimandcounty.ca/trafficstrategy.

More traffic calming pilot projects will be announced as they are rolled out in 2026.
