Slow down. Share the road.
As part of a targeted education campaign, the Municipality has designed Traffic Lawn Signs available to interested residents to promote road safety and increase driver awareness.
Where requested and as supplies last, a household will be provided a MNG Traffic Calming Lawn sign under the following terms and conditions in accordance with all applicable by-laws. Once in possession, the resident is solely responsible for the sign.
One sign shall be provided; per household, on a first come first serve basis, except for a corner lot, which will be permitted a maximum of two (one per side)
A maximum of one sign per 50.0 meters is permitted to avoid information overload
Signs shall be placed:
- at minimum, 3.0 meters from a fire hydrant
- at minimum, 100.0 meters from a Temporary Condition sign and/or a construction zone
- at minimum, 30.0 meters from an intersection in a rural area and 15.0 meters in an urban area
- only on private property, and not within the municipal right-of-way
- at minimum, 1.0 meter from a sidewalk, curb and/or roadway
- placed securely in the ground using the wire mount provided
- on the right side of the roadway, angled clearly within the driver’s line of sight
Signs shall not be placed:
- on a horizontal or a vertical curve, or in any way that obstructs sightlines for all road users (i.e., driveways, sidewalks, accessibility ramps etc.)
- in a drainage ditch, obstructing a culvert or any other stormwater infrastructure.
- on a building, tree, pole, post etc.
Signs shall not be modified in any way including the application of reflective tape.
Municipal staff reserve the right to remove or relocate the sign for any reason
Signs shall be maintained as supplied, in good repair and promptly removed by resident if damaged, unsightly, unsecured and disposed of appropriately (blue bin for wire mount, with signs either buried or disposed of with refuse.
*Signs are biodegradable but should not be mixed with regular recycling or composting, which may reduce the quality of end-use products. Typical breakdown for buried material is 3-7 months for microcracking, and full micro-fragmentation/bacterial digestion within 7-12 months.
