Say goodbye to yield signs,
it's time to stop completely

Huron East residents can expect to come to
a complete stop in their vehicles instead of
yielding to. traffic• on concession 'roads after
council agreed to create a by-law converting
approximately 80 yield signs into stop signs.
The recommendation for the by-law came
from Huron East public works co-ordinator
Barry Mills during the council meeting on
July 21.
Milts recommended Huron East establish a
policy where a gravel road intersects a hard-
top surface that stop signs be installed on the
gravel roads.
"Safety is our number one concern here,"
Mills said. "It's to try to get people to look first
before they pass through the intersection."
The cost per sign is $38.93, plusadditional
installation costs.
Coen. Bill Siemon spoke out against the
motion, saying it will be difficult for farmers
hauling wagons to come to regular stops on
the gravel roads and that they may choose to
drive through towns instead of taking a rural
route.
Coun. Larry McGrath said he agreed that a
stop sign would be OK close to a hill or at an
area with a blind spot, but for the most part,
he sided with Siemon on the motion.
Council also received a correspondence letter
from Egmondville resident Shirley Meidinger,
saying that in August 2008, she was coming
home from work traveling east on Front Road
when a vehicle traveling south went through
yield sign at Sanctuary Line and collided with
her.
"I have witnessed many vehicles drive
through the yield without even slowing •
