Recommendations:
In spite of the foregoing com-
ments, there is no doubt that a
traffic problem does exist at this
location during certain specific
times.
As previously stated, the pro
blem is not one in which the
volumes or delays are great en-
ough to make traffic signals
either necessary orfeconomical.
Traffic signals sho ld only be
installed where the volumes are
high and the total delay to all
traffic would be decreased by
their operation. Such would not
be the case at this intersection.
If Stop signs are not being
obeyed, then there is no guar-
antee that signals will be obey-
ed to a higher degree. Traffic
signals should not be assumed
to be more positive or safer
than Stop sign. They are prim-
arily a device for alternating
the right-of-way between con-
flicting traffic streams in which
there are not sufficient natural
gaps.
The problems at this inter-
section arise from the follow-
ing:
Restricted Sight Distance: 'The
sight distance is restricted by
buildings on three of the cor-
ners. The sight distance to the
left of westbound vehicles and
to the right and left of north-
bound vehicles is below a safe
level. This is the most critical
of the three cases. Its effects
are two -fold. North bound mo-
torists when stopped behind the
crosswalk cannot adequately
see the east and westbound
traffic.. Hence, in order to watch
for gaps, they must "creep out"
into the intersection presenting
a hazard to eastbound traffic. In
addition, westbound drivers can-
not readily see that northbound
traffic is controlled by a Stop
sign.
Confusion as to Right -of -Way:
East and westbound drivers face
a flashing amber light which
some of them interpret as a
Stop signal. Their hesitation
and, in •fact stopping, frequently
creates a traffic flow character-
istic which is not unlike that of
a "Four -Way -Stop" intersection.
That poor visibility and inade-
quate right-of-way designation
are the major causes of trouble
at this intersection, is also
borne out by the accidents for
1961 and 1962. In this period
there have been six vehicular
accidents within the intersec-
tion. Of these six accidents,
two were due to restrictive sight
distance 'and three were due
to non -observance of• the Stop
signs. There were two addition-
al accidents attributable to ve-
hicles leaving or entering the
Service Station.
The problem of poor visibility
cannot be eorhpletely remedied
without expensive demolition in
the immediate area. Present
parking prohibitions are quite
adequate (at least 50 feetfrom
the corners) for purposes of in-
creasing visibility.
It is apparent then, that the
best present solution involves
modifications which will serve
to more clearly define the in-
tersection in general, .to em-
phasize more effectively the
priority of Highway No. 8 traf-
fic over that of Main Street, and
finally to more clearly indicate
the existing Stop• sign control.
It is understood that the De.
partment of Highways and the
County of Huron are co-operat-
ing with the town in the recon-
struction of Main Street North
and Goderich Street. Therefore,
it is recommended that the in-
tersection modification, as pro-
posed in the enclosed plan, be
carried out in conjunction with
this overall reconstruction.
The traffic islands on Main
Street are necessary to channel
the traffic in.. approach, to the
intersection. At present the
pavement is too wide immedi-
ately to the south and will be
to the north as a• result of, curb
realignment. The islands 'will
also aid in defining the inter -
section to the east and west-
bound traffic.
As shown h the plan, an aux;'
iliary Stop sign should be erect-
ed on the island in the south
leg facing nprth bound traffic.
Also to further eliminate confu-
sion to Goderich Street traffic,
the overhead flasher should be
removed and a red flasher erect-
ed directly above the Stop signs.
The island. in. the centre of
the south leg could be con-
tinued southerly, as a raised
median to approximately John
Street, where the pavement
width of Main Street decreases.
Existing angle parking on the
east side of Main Street should
be replaced with parallelcurb
parking.
The elimination of the angle
parking is most desirable so that
the raised median may be con-
structed. Should the median
not be included, then the angle
parking should be abandoned
anyway in, order to minimize
parking and U-turn conflicts. In
other words, these changes will
tend to eliminate side friction
as much as possible and to
channel traffic into either one or
two definite lanes rather than
one indefinite lane.
It will be noted that the plan
shows the proposed redesign of
the north leg of this intersec-
tion. As previously mentioned,
a channelizing island is requir-
ed here as well. The alignment
and shape of the island. will
guide traffic smoothly, through
the widened throat of the in-
tersection and safely past the
island in, the south leg. Parking
should be prohibited along the
curb adjacent to the island.
In order to "square up" the
intersection as much as possible
the east curb should be realign-
ed as shown. It is also neces-
sary to construct a vertical fac-
ed curb and gutter on the west
side of Main Street and on the
north side of Goderich Street
fronting both street lanes of the
Supertest service station proper-
ty. Access to the service sta-
tion should be controlled by
providing curb cuts and ramps
in accordance with the enclosed
"Guide' on Urban Driveway
Controls." Adequate sidewalks
must also be provided in the
northwest quadrant. Sidewalks
in the location shown on the
plan will not only define the
proper and exclusive path for
pedestrians but will also confine
parking on the service station
property so that sight distance
across the northwest corner is
not obstructed.
As •a final phase 'in the recon-
struction, all necessary traffic
signs should be erected and any
extraneous or non-standard
signs removed or replaced. In
particular, there are two "Sup-
ertest" signs which will have
to be relocated. also, the
"School Drive Slowly" sign fac-
ing east -hound traffic just east
of the intersection should be re-
placed with the standard school
warning sign.
When the paving work is com-
plete, crosswalks, stop bars,
centre lines and lane lines
should be applied and regular-
ly renewed, The crosswalks
should be 8-10 feet wide and
should be located as close to
the --respective curb prolonga-
tions as is possible while hav-
ing due regard for the safety of
pedestrians. Yellow traffic paint
should be applied -to the curbs
around the islands.
Conclusion -

He had been a member of Staffa

to Essex as a banker six years
-ago.
Surviving are his wife, the

ette.
If the above recommendations
are carried out it is certain that
there will be an improvement
in the safety and efficiency in
traffic flow at the intersection.
The motorists' impression, upon
approaching the intersection,
will be one of encountering a
high class, well ordered inter-
section. There should be no
doubt in his mind as to which
traffic must stop and where it
must do so.
Future benefits of the modi-
fication may be derived at such
times as the traffic pattern—
changes.
atternchanges. Should traffic signals
beConie necessary, then the in-
tersection would be more adapt-
able to their installation.
The centre median may also
be valuable in the future. A
great improvement in the over-
all appearance and appeal If
the shopping district can be
achieved in many ways. One of
the simplest and most effective
ways is to transfer the street
lights to poles in the 'centre
of the median and to bury all
overhead wiring. This removes
the clutter from the sidewalks
and a "dressing up" of store
fronts in the area usually fol-
lows.
A furthe -rbenefit of this sys-
tem of ligliting, to the Town of
Seaforth in particular, will be
realized. At present the lights
are mounted at staggered in-
tervals on either side of the
road. The existing poles could
be moved to the median, main-
taining the same spacing, and
another light added to each
pole, so that both sides of the
median would be illuminated
from one pole. Obviously, the
level of lighting would be ef-
fectively increased without the
expense of additional poles.
Although the installation of
traffic signals is not recom-
mended at present, it would be
advisable to re -study the traffic
characteristics at this intersec-
tion. This should be done at
some future date so that the
influence of the road improve-
ments in the area may be fully
assessed,

Plan Gala Night
For Co -Op Week
op event, Seaforth officials said
the local co-op had its begin-
ning in 1942, when there were
78 members ,and assets of $3,-
400. Last year assets had grown
to $198,000.00, and there were
400 members.
The local secretary, Robert
McMillan, said that during the
intervening years the Co-op has
declared deferred patronage
dividends for most of the years
-and on a revolving basis divi.
dends in cash up_•to the year
1947. All estates and many
farm members upon retirement
have received cash payments.
He recalled that -in April 1959,
the Co-op entered the petroleum
business and in March 1960, the
egg and . poultry business- was
merged with UDPC, when $27,-
000.00 in assets was turned
over to co-op members, who in
turn became direct members in
the new produce co-op.
Heading Tip the special Co-
op Week committee are Presi-
dent Ted Melady and Manager
Bert Garrett, who with the di-
rectors, are making 'a special
effort to make the Co-op Night

SEAFORTI#.'S OLDEST RESIDENT
MRS. JAMES RIVERS DIES AT 98
Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Rivers
died Saturday in Scott Memor-
ial Hospital, following, a short
illness. She had observed her
98th birthday last July lath,
and was Seaforth's oldest resi-
dent.
Born 'in Usborne, Mrs. Rivers
had resided here since 1913,
when she and her husband re-
tired from their farm. While
she lived alotie for a number of
years following Mr. Rivers'
death in 1952, in recent years
she had lived with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. William Drover, and
Mr. Drover.
While her health has been
good, she had been hard of
hearing. However, she con-
tinued to have an active inter-
est in the community, and was
well informed on current ev-
ents., Recently her eyes had
given her some trouble and she
had to give up reading.
A member of First Presby-
terian Church and Seaforth Red
Cross, she was an active worker
until recently. She long since
has lost track of the hundreds
of pairs of socks she knit in
two world wars.
"I don't •know how many,' but
there were a lot," she -said in
answer to a question at her
birthday party last summer.
Mrs. Rivers is survived by one
aughter, Mrs. William Drover,
aforth; two sons, Thorpe, of
NEIL LEROY, creator of
the radio program Court of
Opinions, is back for another
year as its host and modera-
tor. Heard on CBC radio ev-
ery second Monday, the show
features lively discussions on
topics of wide interest.
