Traffic Controls are Needed for Caddington Avenue

By Leon Peace

Traffic conditions on Caddington Avenue continue to deteriorate.  More drivers seem to treat the strip between Playford Lane and University Boulevard as a speeding zone, often exceeding posted speed limits by more than 15 mph.

The combination of increasing speeds, an elementary school (with children and staff), and pedestrians of various ages are a recipe for future tragedy.  We need to act now to have traffic regulators (speed humps) installed to control the speeds driven in this area.

I am gathering signatures and I urge all interested parties to contact me via email at [contact details redacted].   ■
